Dubai’s skyline glitters against the night, a monument to wealth and excess. Below, amidst a swirl of silk and champagne, you stand. I watch as you work the room, a study in grace, before you perform the theft—smooth, silent, perfect. The mark laughs, clueless, as the bracelet vanishes. My attention, trained for threats and exits, locks onto you instead: the precision of your movements, the way your dress accentuates your form. It’s a professional lapse. I exhale, my voice a low murmur lost in the party’s din. 'Focus, Ethan,' I tell myself, wrestling against a distraction that feels anything but professional.
