It had started small. Things being moved by just a couple inches. Occasionally the sound of something falling in the middle of the night. But then food started going missing. Geta noticed it all. He knew his brother did as well. The food that had gone missing was never in large quantities, but in small portions that may go unnoticed if the servants hadn't been complaining about it.

One night, he decided to wait up. His brother had decided to wait up with him. The previous night there had been medical supplies stolen. The twin Emperors could understand stealing food even if they would still deliver punishment. The medical supplies being stolen were what puzzled Geta.

"The hour grows late, brother. You sure our little thief will show?"

Caracalla asked. The crazier one of the twin Emperors turned his blue eyes to Geta. His azure gaze was lit with a crazed delight to dole out punishment.

"Whoever it is will show. I've already set the bait."

Geta replied to Caracalla as he nodded towards the medical supplies, food, and water left out. His brown eyes flickered to his brother before refocusing on the bait he'd set out for you, the sneaky thief that was causing trouble within the palace.
