Levi threw himself into his work. After a couple of hours, he did a quick sweep of the house and pinpointed each employee’s location. With Taylor gone and everyone else occupied, he let Crystal and Kyle know they were on for office infiltration.

Approaching the office door, he checked the hallway one last time. Levi reached into his pocket, pulled out a pair of latex gloves, and slipped them on. Yesterday, as hard as it had been, Levi’s fingers had touched nothing in the office besides Taylor. His fingerprints were legitimately everywhere else in the house, but he had no excuse to be in this room. He wanted to leave no evidence.

“You guys with me?” Levi asked.

“We’re both here,” Kyle answered.

He punched in the code 1-9-8-9 to the keypad and exhaled when the light switched from red to green. He checked the hall one last time and slipped into the office.

“Damn, what happened in here?” Kyle asked, seeing the mess of papers and the knocked-over lamp on the floor.

“That’s from Taylor and me,” Levi said, chuckling.

“Oh, did you guys play sexy librarian? That’s hot!”

“Can we focus on why we’re here?” Crystal piped up.

Levi scanned the room and gave them the measurements before turning to his right and facing the first wall.

“Okay, Levi, start the detail work. We’ll be your second and third set of eyes,” Crystal said.

“Copy that.”

He slid his hands over every inch of that wall, pulled artwork down, and checked behind and under each piece of furniture. It was a slow, tedious process, but he knew that they needed to be especially meticulous with this room.

When the first wall was clear, he moved to the next. Kyle and Crystal had no comments or conversation while Levi searched, but he knew they were still there, probably holding their breath. This wall held two bookshelves and a large flat-screen monitor mounted between them. It took awhile for Levi to check and recheck each space. Again, he slid the books aside, and when he found nothing, replaced them exactly as they were.

The monitor was tricky to pull down. It was heavy and awkward, but it did not hide a safe. Once that was mounted back in place, he turned to the third wall. It was the easiest, with only two large windows and a framed print. Levi’s rough hands ran over the expensive drapes and he checked behind the canvas. Still, no safe.

The final wall held more shelves and a small closet. He continued his exploration, checking the closet closely. There was nothing inside but a few suit jackets.

“What the fuck?” Levi growled as he shut the closet door. “You guys didn’t see anything?”

“No,” Kyle said. “Nothing.”

Levi dropped to his knees and pulled back the antique rug covering the floor. He found nothing beneath it, not even dust. He moved around the mess and eyed the large desk with fondness. He could almost see Taylor now, lying across the top with her blond hair hanging over the edge while her fingers clawed at the smooth surface.
