Romany opened the safe, which was divided into three layers. The bottom layer held two wooden boxes side by side; the middle layer contained some documents and several small cloth bags; and on the top layer, where a tray now sat empty, next to it was placed a Russian doll. Judging by the horizontal line in the middle of its body, it appeared to be a Matryoshka doll, roughly the size of an adult's palm, less than ten centimeters wide and likely under twenty centimeters tall.
Romany pointed to the tray, "The necklace used to be placed right here on this tray. I'm usually very careful and generally wouldn't move it."
Jimmy, "May I check it?"
Romany stepped away from the safe, and Jimmy stepped forward, took out a flashlight, and shone it on the tray, observing it carefully. Beneath the tray was a layer of dark red velvet, which, likely due to having been in place for some time, had the impression of a necklace pressed into its pile. Jimmy saw no other indentations on the velvet.
