Charlus heard the men outside talking.

"Did you forget to lock the truck?" Charlus heard a gruff voice.

"I swear I locked it. Do you think someone got in? Let's check it." He heard a smoother voice.

Charlus quickly equipped his black clothing. It would help since the inside of the truck was all black. Charlus jumped to the end of the truck without making a lot of noise and hung to the wall. He stood as still as he could while the door opened.

Charlus wasn't facing the opening so he couldn't see who entered. He had to rely on his hearing.

One of the men walked inside and checked the first crate. It was untouched.

"Nothing wrong with it man. Now let's get going. We need to deliver this to the Marconi's by sunset." It was the gruff voice that spoke. Charlus assumed that the owner of the voice was the leader of the two.

"Sunset? When's that?" Charlus' assumption became stronger.
