B.O.B. Theft

by Barbara G.Tarn

Malik stopped the rental flying car and took off his blue visor to check outside with his own eyes.

The mansion was really in a deserted place, like Sherise had said. No other cars or other means of transportation were in sight. Luxuriant vegetation surrounded what looked like a giant drop made of glass, set up on stilts covered with vines and hanging on the side of a high cliff of dark stone.

The car had landed on an elliptical terrace wide enough to park a couple of flying cars at the front of the house. From the air it had looked like an oval saucer with an overturned teacup not centered, as if leaving room for a muffin on the side.

The front view of the house and terrace was over the planet's ocean, but behind it the plateau was, covered with trees taller than the shiny mansion. The living space was all on the same level, but there was a sort of transparent tube at the center that probably took to the upper terrace.

"Are you sure this is it?" Nat asked, wrinkling her nose.

"If you updated the GPS, yes, that's it," he snapped, glancing at his twin.

"Great, let's do it, then."

Both got out of the flying car and looked around, amazed. The salty breeze hit them from behind as they observed the building, ruffling their hair, and Nat quickly tied her long black hair into a ponytail.

Malik exhaled, taking in the transparent building in front of him.

"Even the internal walls are made of glass!" he said. "No privacy whatsoever!"

Behind the central tube he saw a square room with two doors and no transparencies at the back of the dome house, probably the bathroom, although it looked as big as their dorm apartment.

"They can darken the glass or turn it into a mirror," Nat answered, putting on her own pink visor to figure out where the entrance was. Data started to flow on her display, showing plans and security measures.

"Well, no wonder they call it the House of the Sun," Malik muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. "It's quite ugly, though, I don't know why Sherise is so fond of it. They should have called it Ugly Teacup House."

Nat scoffed. "It's a display of wealth, that's why she's so fond of it. And it was designed by the famous architect Chas Laux!" Her tone made plain what she thought of the mighty designer, and matched Malik's opinion.

"I really really hope her father goes bankrupt and she joins us in the slums," he muttered.

Not that they actually lived in the slums, but they slept on campus and attended college only because of a scholarship. Unlike Sherise, daughter of Deribo Agidigan, CEO of ProtoSys Services GmbH, one of the richest heiresses in town. Sherise was popular and always seemed to look down on the twins who had decided to give her a lesson.

Breaking in was a first for them. Malik wasn't too happy with the idea, but Nat had sounded thrilled at the thought.
