Mysterious Find

While trying to tell myself to calm down and act normal, I headed towards the exit of the archive. The same guard was there at the exit and that made me feel quite nervous. It went without saying that I had never stolen or inappropriately ‘borrowed’ a document like this before.

I flashed the guard a little smile before casually walking past. After taking a few steps away. I honestly thought that I had made it; however, things didn’t quite end as smoothly as I had hoped.

“Little lady, if you put that back where you got it from, I will look the other way and pretend that this never happened…” the guard muttered in a low voice.

My body froze at his words when I realized that my stupid attempt to smuggle the document out had failed spectacularly. He must have been watching on the security camera and caught on to what I was up to. It was regretful but I had no other choice except to return the document from where it came from.
