Harry opened the door and walked in. He looked around with his torch. He was suddenly boggled. A woman was sleeping in the bed. He signaled his mates to look in the bed and stay silent. Harry took out his gun and started walking towards the woman. He signaled Mal to turn the lights on when he wakes her up.
Harry shook the woman a little. She just ignored and changed sides. She was deep asleep. It looked like she had taken some medicine. Harry shook her harder.
"What?" She turned and looked at Harry standing in the dark. She was about to scream but Harry put his hand on her mouth and Mal turned the lights on.
"Who are you?" Harry stood up and looked at her. She was not the owner of the house they knew. Mal and Jerry were surprised as well. They came closer.
"Wh- Who are you?" She asked. She was fully awake and understood the gravity of the situation.
"What are you two doing?" Go look for valuables." Harry ignored her and ordered his lackeys. They quickly moved and started looking in the room.
"I asked first honey. Who are you?" Harry smiled creepily.
"This is my house. You tell me…"
"Shut up. Don't play games. Manny is the owner." Harry yelled.
"Who are you? This is your last chance when I am being nice. After this you will be responsible for consequences." Harry threatened as he sat beside her and moved his gun across her face towards her breasts. His eyes were full of lust.
"I- I swear. I am Tara and this is my house. Yu-You can take whatever you want." She backed off slowly. She just realized a new potential danger.
"Really? I want you. How about a deal?" Harry said. She looked at him inquisitively. She did not like where this was going.
"I won't take any valuables and you will please me in a way I want. What say?" He said in a very jovial tone.
"Please do – do not touch me. I will give you everything. Tell me how much you want?" She got pale thinking about what were to come. Harry was moving closer slowly. She had reached the edge of the bed.
"B- B- Bo- Boss. Look at this?" Mal came out of walk-in closet. He looked like he had discovered something incredible. Harry was just a few inches away from kissing that woman.
"What is it you Fat-a…." He was annoyed by the disturbance. He turned around and could not finish his sentence due to surprise.
He quickly got up and almost snatched the box from Mal.
"Wooowww. This is the real treasure." He looked overjoyed.
"Did you find something?" Jerry entered the room and inquired. He had heard the commotion.
"Yes. We have hit the jackpot. Look at this." Harry showed him the box. Mal looked proud of himself.
"This -This is highly sensitive equipment. Where did you get it?" Jerry said with surprise.
Harry looked at Tara who was also staring at the box.
"Th-This is not mine. I don't know what this is." She looked afraid with their discovery.
"Really? Then you would not mind me calling the police." Harry said sarcastically and took out his phone.
"S- Stop. We can make a deal." She stuttered. Harry stopped dialing the number.
"That's my girl." Harry laughed.
"How much money do you want? I can get you whatever you ask." Tara looked hopeful. It was her chance.
"Umm-Umm Honey. This is beyond money now." His lustful and eerie look was back. He handed the box to Jerry and moved towards her.
"Please." She begged. She looked weepy.
"Hey. Don't be sad. It is a fair deal. We leave you alive and do not call the police. While we take the box and very beautiful memories of you. What say?" He lied beside her, and his hands were already exploring the wonders of her body.
A tear fell out of her eye and got sucked into his pants. She could not say a word.

25th December 2050
Lisa looked at the clock, it was 4 O' clock in the afternoon. She was shocked at how quickly time flied.
"At this rate I am not going to make it in time." She murmured. She had dinner plans with Penny, her sister, and her family. She had to complete an article to be published tomorrow. She was at the office alone to finish the job.
"Ring. Ring." Her earpiece woke up.
"Hello." She pressed the button and said in a very professional tone.
"Happy Christmas Lisa." Melinda screamed. She seemed a bit drunk. There was a lot of noise in the background. It looked like she was having a party.
"You're drunk? This early?" Lisa was surprised.
"I had some eggnog and some rum cake and Its Christmas. Happy Christmas." She felt childish and overjoyed.
"Happy Christmas. You sure are enjoying yourself. Well you carry on. I have some work to finish." Lisa looked at her wristwatch.
"You are at the office? Today? Come ooooon? Who works on Christmas?" Melinda was shocked.
"Yeah. You know how this is. I need to meet the deadline." Lisa explained.
"Do you want me to come? I can help." Melinda offered. Lisa smiled.
"Thank you. So sweet of you honey. Enjoy your holidays. Let's meet later. Take care. Bye." Lisa said in a hurry. She was really touched. Since that incident with Steve, they had come closer.
"You take care as well and Go HOME. HAPPY CHRISTMAS." Melinda Screamed. Lisa disconnected the call.
Lisa had a big smile on her face. She was feeling refreshed after speaking with Melinda. She went back to her work.
