Arrests

The morning sunlight filtered through the bustling city streets as Jack parked his car outside Sherry's business building. Jack straightened his jacket as he made his way to Sherry's main office.

Sherry greeted him in her office. She was seated behind a polished mahogany desk, her hair gleaming as she glanced up from the document she had been reviewing.

"Good morning, Jack," she said, "You're right on time. I take it you're here for it?"

Jack nodded, his expression serious. "Yes. Did you manage to get it?"

Sherry smiled and reached into a secured drawer in her desk. She pulled out a carefully wrapped package, which she placed on the desk before him. With practiced care, she removed the layers of protective cloth to reveal a breathtaking artifact: a golden scepter adorned with intricate carvings and encrusted with rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.
