Kye & Amelia

Kye jumped over the small brick wall in one hop and without support from his hand. He turned around and looked at me. "Come on, Amelia. We don't have the whole day" he gestured a hand towards me, but I reclined. "Not going to need help" I said while I took a few steps back, before setting in a sprint over the wall. But I did need support from my hand. I was athletic, yes, but I didn't practice parkour as Kye did. And I sure as hell didn't take chances. "Such a chicken" Kye laughed. "I'm not a chicken, Kye. I'm just not a daredevil as you are. Some of us like to keep our lives" I growled. "And yet you are here, out on a mission with me" I could see his smirk, even that his head was hide behind the hoodie. "Only because we are the best, and I'm the only one who can stick it up with your ego" I gave back, and heard his low chuckle.

We sneaked down the small alleys, before we got to our destination. Our job wasn't completely legal, since we were stealing jewelry and crystals. And this night wasn't any more different than another. Kye and I were the best in our clans, because of our skills. Both of us were equally skilled in fighting and athletics. Kye was the master in getting any physical lock open just with some few tools, and I was the master in getting behind any digital locks. So we were more than often paired together on missions, and as I said to Mister Ego himself, I was the only one who could stick up with him. Kye was about to walk out on the streets. "Wait a minute" I said to him and straightened my back from the crumpling through the shadows. I took my backpack and coat off, and handed the coat to Kye. "Hold it" I said, "Amelia, what are you doing? We don't have time for this" Kye scolded. "Shut up and listen. We can't go into that party unless we are looking like someone who is going to attend one. You already go black pants and sweater, so put this blazer on" I said and handed him a blazer from the backpack. "And what are you going to wear? You are in the exact same suit as I am" he asked. "This one" I pulled out a long sleeveless women's shirt in black with a sparkly collar made of rhinestones. I heard a low whistle come from him, and I couldn't help but smile. Quickly I threw my sweater off and put the shirt on. I duck down in the backpack once more and found a small cardigan. Thank God, it was one of those warm evenings in the fall. I put our clothes in the backpack and hid it behind the container in the alley, before I let my hair fall loose. I collected it at the one side, and put some pins in my hair to keep it together. When I was ready Kye was giving me a look from head to toe. "Get over yourself, please" I said and took a small purse, which was already packed with our tools. "Are you ready now?" Kye asked with crossed arms and a smirk plastered on his face. "Yes, I am. Let's go" I answered, "This way, my lady" he said, and held an arm out for me. I looked at him, give ham a small laugh and then hooked my arm under his.

It was easy to get into the party, since it was public for all with a good number on their bank account. And with the money the company had earned over the years, there was no problem in that. We walked arm in arm through the big doors to the ballroom, and the party was already going on. Drinks, music and dancing people were all over the floor. Kye turned his head at me. "Up there. In the left corner of the balcony" I followed his direction and saw our goal of the mission. We were here to get a hold of a Rubin necklace, and it was at the balcony in a showcase with two guards protecting it. "Ready to action, my lady?" Kye asked, again with his famous smirk. "Oh, I'm ready, my dear" I smiled back. Even though, that Kye and I didn't were very fond of each other, I couldn't complain about being on a mission with him. We understood every move and tactic we made. We could be so in sync on a mission, and so much out of sync when we were back in the headquarter. Kye escorted me to the back room with the couches, where we would be left alone. I sat down with Kye by my side, and out of nowhere he put a hand on my thigh right above my knee. I was about to say something to him, when he leaned to my ear. "Just go with it, Amelia. We are in the cuddle couches. People will suspect things, if we don't show at least some affection to each other" he whispered. I leaned my mouth close to his ear and laid my hand on his arm. "Are you sure that you don't just say that, so you could get a chance to touch me?" I could feel him shiver under me. "You wish" he mocked me and took a firm grip at my thigh. Under normal circumstances, I would have said something, but by the way Kye tensed up in the whole body, I knew there was something wrong. I followed his eyes to see what made him so tense.
