- In another room -
Lucas sat down and got comfy on the soft chair. He mentally prepared himself for his mother's scolding.
"Lucas Phillips! WHY, just why did you HAVE TO enter the hall like so? Who wouldn't think you were a lower class trying to sneak in!" Emma Phillips took deep breath. She attempted to calm herself down.
"Dear son, you didn't even notify me that you were back. Don't you know I missed you too? You know what happened eight years ago was an accident and-"
Lucas cut in. "No mother, it's not my fault I came in like so, if you have forgotten already let me remind you. You temporarily cancelled my ID card years ago and I had no money on me. I came back home but how was I meant to know you were holding a party and that the security changed!"
"And also- I don't care about what happened eight years ago, but I enjoyed my time in the army fine! It was way better than the year of etiquette lessons and what not I had to endure. And if you'll excuse me, I would wish to take a bath now." He finished speaking and left the room.

'That didn't go too bad.'
Lucas flopped on his bed and combed his fingers through his hair. He grabbed hold of his jacket, and started taking things out of its pockets. Two diamond necklaces, one leather wallet with cash, four ID cards, four blood samples.
'Today's earning wasn't too bad. I did manage to get some valuables and cash, but the main point is that I retrieved those ID cards and blood samples.'
He grinned at his profits and put them away.
'I'll go give them to 'him' at the end of the week. Right now though, I really do want a hot bath.'
