Previously on Aisha.
Anna takes time to take Duke through some criminals she thinks might be behind the thefts going on. However Duke is totally absent minded, thinking about the fact that McCoy could have a hand in this case.

Chapter 7

"....yeah so that's the last of em. What do you think?" Anna asks as she finishes up on her team of suspects. Her face staring at Duke, expecting a genius answer."

"Huhh? Yeah I mean......yeah. Its great."

Anna looks at him with an obvious but less concerned look. Obviously he didn't listen to anything she was saying. She has only worked with him for three days now and the kinda behavior and attitude he puts up already depicts his personality.

"Have you been listening to me at all? Did you even hear a word I said?" She asks with a mild but stern tone.

"You know what, just forget it. We'll just walk into the ball room and God will gloriously shine his holy light on the criminal." She rolls her eyes and turns to face the small window on her left.

London
Ball Night

Duke and Anna are seated in a night-black Mercedes just a few metres away from the tower. From here, they can see all the dignitaries going in.
Duke sits, staring straight at the entrance. Completely lost in thought. They just arrived a few hours ago and there's absolutely no time for a rest.

"Okay so what's the plan?" Anna asks.

"It's pretty simple. The crown jewel is going to be exhibited. Obviously he can't just make away with it without being spotted. He's probably going to be in heavy clothing. Take note of such persons and keep a good eye on them. And stay close to the crown but not too close. We don't want anyone suspecting our movements."

"Okay but how do we get in?" Anna asks again. Obviously they would have to get past the guards before they can make their way in. But how? Remains the question on her mind.

Duke looks over at the Red carpet filled with very respectable guests. This is not some club where you would have to be on the list before you get in.

But with a family like the royal family, at an occasion like this? You can never be too careful. The list will work good. Of course not in that kinda rough manner like the clubs.

"Well about that.......... I don't know. We could go in through the roof?"
Duke says. Anna looks at him with a look of disbelief. That is the dumbest idea she has ever heard.

"The roof. You'll be dead way before you hit the ground.

She looks out and surveys the area with her eyes.
"We can't go in through the front."

She says as she continues to look around, looking for a better way in.
"We'll have to get in from above."
Duke's face narrows into a frown of disagreement.

"I don't think that is such a good idea."He says.

"Do you have a better idea?" Anna asks, She picks up a bag from the backseat.
"You may be good in tactics, but when it comes to sneaking around, I'm fucking good at it. Here! Put this on."

She throws a dark overall coat unto Duke's lap.

"It comes with a face mask. Make sure your face is well hidden."

Duke quickly gets dressed in the dark overall coat without the face mask.
Anna looks at him with a look that questions why he's not wearing the mask.

"What if we get spotted before we get to the top? We're dead even before we hit the ground." Duke says.

"Fine. Just make sure you put it on once we get into the dark."
On the west side of their position are a few parked vehicles. The building casts a heavy shadow on that area.

"C'mon. Lets roll."

They quickly exit the vehicle and head straight into the dark. Moving quickly but with quiet steps, they get to the side of the building. Duke quickly covers his face with the mask.

"We are so gonna get caught." He whines.

"How do we climb up there."

"Who said anything about climbing?" Anna says as she pulls out a weird grappler. She aims it high at a metal bar at the very top of the last window and fires it.

A thick and long rope shoots out of the gun with a thuff and heads straight for the metal bar. Upon making contact, it ties itself in a strong grip around the bar.

"Oh so that's what it does" He says in a half surprised tone.

"What are you waiting for? Lets go! Anna blurts out.

Duke wraps himself around her in a tight hug, taking advantage of the moment to take pleasure from the tight body contact.

Anna pulls the trigger and they are pulled up high to the highest window. Duke tightens his hug for fear of falling, and also for pleasure.

.......

Anna slides the glass window open and enters with Duke right behind her.

"Okay. Now its Showtime!!" Duke says as he takes of the black overall coat, revealing him dressed in a sleek black tuxedo, with well polished classic shoes,white sleeves, a black tie and a black coat.

He looks over at Anna who seems to have taken off the black overalls long before Duke

She's dressed in a golden sleeveless gown, cut from the hems straight to the thigh,with black high heel shoes as complement. She gathers her blonde hair over her left chest.

Duke stares at her in awe. To him, she looks like a goddess, bathing in her glory. Anna recognizes that look and moves up to him slowly.

His heartbeat increases pace. Anna draws closer yet slowly to his face such that, only a space of about two centimetres is left between the lips of his and hers.

Duke quickly grabs her by the waist and pulls her unto himself. They then engage in vigorous but passionate kissing.

He pushes her unto an empty table and lies upon her. Both breathing heavily, the kissing resumes. Duke drags his hands up her thighs and down her calf whiles kissing her neck passionately.
