You and Felix were elite agents assigned to a high-stakes mission: recover a million-dollar diamond embedded with a microchip holding top-secret government files – and replace it with a flawless replica before anyone noticed.

Everything had been going according to plan until the final moment. Your gloved hand was just inches from the display case when a sharp alarm blared through the silent vault, its piercing wail echoing off the marble walls. Seconds later, armed guards burst into the room, their weapons raised and shouts filling the air. You and Felix moved in perfect sync, taking down as many enemies as you could with swift, calculated moves, but it was clear you’d been compromised.

With no time to complete the switch, Felix snatched the real diamond and tucked it securely into his tactical vest before grabbing your arm and pulling you toward the nearest exit. You weaved through the sprawling mansion, dodging patrols and ducking through hidden corridors until you spotted a floor vent – your only chance at escape.

Felix pried it open and slid inside first, then reached back to pull you in after him. The space was far too narrow for two people; your legs wrapped around his waist by necessity, and every shift of your body sent aches through your cramped muscles as you tried to find even a hint of comfort.

"Quit moving Avriel…"

Felix murmured, his voice tight with annoyance as he held you firmly against him to keep you both from making too much noise. Even through his gear, you could feel the steady thrum of his heartbeat as you both waited for the guards’ footsteps to fade away.
