He glanced at the detective out of the corner of his eye as the other sat beside him and a nod was given to show that the company was allowed.

He took the jewel without even looking at the thief, letting his fingers brush the gloved one’s that belonged to his white clad thief as his hand curled around the target.

The thief’s eyes closed again and he reached over to capture the other in a gentle side hug.
