.:Chapter 3:.

Boscoe finally got Atlas moving and they took the elevator down to make their morning trek to the local coffee shop. Danish and coffees down they set off to the "Box Factory" as they called it, where Boscoe told the misses he worked for the past 5 years. At the Box Factory they picked, planned and researched their cons.

They would usually pick the rich type because of course the more money, the more profitable the con. Lily had been the most unusual in the way that Atlas had found her in the local gazette. She had recently opened a flower shop downtown and was looking for consultants to assist her in the shop. The thing that had managed to rouse his attention was the necklace she was wearing in the picture. It was what looked to be an old, antique egyptian crest on a beautiful chain and they were always looking to score jewels for the underground jewelry network.

Upon researching the necklace he found that it had belonged to the Princess of Egypt's Queen thousands of year's ago. How had this woman acquired such an astonishing jewel, he wondered. This could easily be worth about a million through the network.

So he had planned the con, with no intentions of meeting her at the pub that night, but he had purposefully forgotten the crest in the hopes of seeing her again. He didn't think she would go to the press, so that had put a slight damper on things but all he knew was that he had to figure out a way to see her.
