Delilah Keyes
How's Business?
She shook her head, shimmying back into her dress.
"Clutch once and run, clutch twice get hung," she muttered. "Coming back to a sweet score is just asking for trouble. We won't know if they will notice or not, and when, and how they might respond. Returning to a scene is the surest way to get caught. I intend to grow old and rich and maybe get fat, but not in a jail cell."
They truly hadn't taken much. But every item they took would sell for a tidy sum alone, and net them a couple months of operating expenses from just this one night. The outlay for getting them in the ball- clothes, masks, hotel room, tickets- was more than covered. They'd made out of this with a haul that was more than ten times what she'd invested.
Not, perhaps, what she had hoped. Because what she'd come here for, that information had nothing to do with cash.
Once dressed, she offered him another kiss, short but hard before pulling back and smiling at him.
"Let's go," she smirked. "We've done all the damage worth doing."
It would be two weeks before the Baroness realized she couldn't find a particular pair of earrings. But she would just shrug, because what did it matter, when she could just purchase a new pair?
It was the one perk to that marriage and she forgot about it within a day.
