He grimaced. "John and Alice had come up with a plan. They needed me. I was... innocent. The police wouldn't think twice about me being there. John set up a meeting with Reed to lure them all out of the building, and I went in. I took the stolen diamonds out of Reed's locker." He gave a sharp laugh. "I'm a jewel thief as well. I forgot to mention that." He shook his head. "I was supposed to be out before they got back, but I'd been delayed. And there he was. I looked into his eyes as he said he was sorry for my loss..."
His face went cold, distant. His fist clenched.
Then he shook it off. "I left," he said softly. "According to plan. I left, and he followed me when he realized what I'd done. I lead him to where John and Alice were waiting."
