As the day closed and the clouds blanketed the sky, Mike thought an approaching storm would mean fewer witnesses. Using the open window he entered Heather’s bedroom. The alarm clock read six-thirty leaving Mike forty-five minutes to locate the drive. He searched the office, bedrooms, and the kitchen before noticing a book sticking out from the others. Behind it was the drive; placing the book back in position he left the same way he entered. Two blocks away he ordered a coffee and e-mailed his employer. Mike shipped the drive once he verified the transfer of funds.

Intriguing. I wonder what’s on that drive!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The start of a great mystery here. What great secrets or valuable information the drive must contain. Very intriguing.
Thanks for reading. I am turning this into a short story.
Mike is one stealthy dude. Well done.
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it. I will be turning this into a short story.
Cole, Mike is a match for 007. That payment should be a substantial one. Well written with good tension and description. 🙂 —Susan
