A Bad Deal

She has to wait in a queue for her turn, before the valet  takes the car away to the basement parking lot. Then, the female security guard will check her person with a scanner, while her bags travel through the conveyor belt and reach her.

The guy waiting for her in the lobby had apprised her of details. She looks forward to meeting him, as a 500 million dollar deal is not small for a princess too. She would buy her ticket to freedom, and escape the tough protocols of the country she does not like.

All she needs to do is hand over a small velvet pouch with diamonds inside, and the money would be credited to her account.

“Those bags belong to the princess…..”

“Sure, but with due respect, we cannot dilute safety protocols.”

“Go ahead…”

The whisking is quick, but the deal is not.

She opens her handbag to find the diamonds missing. And the deal is not something she can tell the police about.
