"Hmm... take a laptop, huh... okay," Dylan said.
[You need tools from the basent, sir.]
"Hmm... Lena, Maya, Ellie, and Amy are sleeping in the room... Alright, I’ll just go invisible," Dylan said.
Dylan stood up. He walked to his bedroom door. "Click," he slowly opened the door and entered, then he vanished and crept past the bed and the two futons below. His four future wives were fast asleep, their clothes a little ssy. "Gulp," he glanced at his four future wives and was stunned.
[Sir, don’t be tempted right now.]
"Oh... right, sorry," Dylan replied in his head.
Slowly, he opened the closet and stepped inside, then he closed the closet again. He imdiately took the elevator down to the basent, then retrieved wall-climbing rubber boots, sticky gloves with a laser glass cutter on the fingers, a grappler gun, a set of lock-picking tools just in case, and a backpack. After that, he grabbed his glider and walked back to the elevator.
Once he was upstairs, he slowly erged from the closet and grabbed his black hoodie, then he cautiously opened the door and slipped out, careful not to wake his four future wives. Once outside the room and wearing his hoodie and hood, Dylan pressed "yes" on the screen.
[Auto mode... comncing.]
He imdiately walked out of the house, "pshewww," he used his grappler gun to shoot at a utility pole and instantly climbed to a pole higher than the house, "tap," he stood lightly on the pole’s top. A hologram map appeared, and he imdiately opened his glider and jumped off. The glider was controlled by CATS, allowing him to fly silently even with a slight breeze, looking like a soundless aircraft.
After flying until he reached the still-busy apartnt district, "tap," Dylan landed on the roof of the tallest apartnt building. He imdiately ran across the roof using a flash step, then jumped to the building across from it. If the distance was too far, he used his grappler gun to swing and then stuck to the wall, crawling up to the roof like Spiderman.
A mont later, he arrived at the roof of an exclusive luxury apartnt building called Tower Avenue Tower B.
"Is this it, CATS?" Dylan asked in his head.
[Correct, this is the location. Just watch, this is automatic.]
"Okay," Dylan replied, relaxed.
Dylan walked along the roof, looking for the building’s main alarm. Once he found it, he imdiately used his "disarm" skill, and a hologram screen appeared.
[Alarm down countdown: 00:00:20:44]
Without delay, Dylan ran to the edge of the roof, then he jumped down, his feet bracing against the wall using the rubber boots he was wearing. He ran along the wall, searching for the 55th floor, unit 2B. As soon as he found it, he crouched down and looked through the bedroom window. Inside the room, he saw a young adult man and a young adult woman lying naked, intimately embracing.
"Ugh," Dylan muttered as he peeked.
[This is the bedroom, sir.]
"I know, let’s go to the next window," Dylan replied.
He walked a little further to the next room and arrived at the office. He imdiately crouched and used his "laser finger" skill, then placed all the fingers of both his hands on the glass and rotated it. His fingers cut the glass, and he slowly lifted it out. He entered with the glass and set it down gently without making a sound.
Inside the office, Dylan looked around. There was nothing in it but a desk with an empty surface, bookshelves, a painting, and a sofa leaning directly beneath the painting. Dylan walked to the painting and lifted it. Behind it was a tal safe embedded in the wall.
He imdiately used his "pick lock" skill and "click," the safe opened. Inside, he could see a laptop, a smartphone, cash, and several small gold statues. Dylan reached out his hand, "boom," he used his "smokebomb" skill inside the safe, and many intersecting laser beams beca visible.
"What kind of person keeps a laptop and a smartphone with other valuables in a safe and even puts a laser alarm on it?" Dylan muttered in his head.
[A criminal, sir.]
Dylan imdiately used his "disarm" skill once more to disable the alarm, then he took the laptop, the smartphone, a wristwatch that caught his interest, and several gold religious statues for his collection. "Click." The safe locked again just as it was before, but as Dylan closed the safe, the office door opened.
"Who’s there?"
Dylan turned, then he saw a girl, about 13 or 14 years old, half-naked because her clothes were ssy, and she seed to have just woken up, standing in the doorway half-asleep, rubbing her eyes and staring at him. "Boom," Dylan released his smoke bomb once more, then ran to the window.
He climbed out, put the glass back in place, and flew away using his glider. A note fell to the floor, "Cough... cough," the girl, coughing, looked at the note and read it.
"Phantom Cat?" she said, reading it even though her eyes were watering from the smoke.
anwhile, after gliding in the air for 10 minutes, Dylan landed on the roof of a police station near his house, the sa one where he had reported the incident in the park that ti. He took the laptop and smartphone and tied them up. Tucked between the ties was a note that read, "Please follow up on this... sgn: Phantom Cat," with a cat’s head emblem.
Dylan went invisible then jumped down, "tap," he landed crouched in front of the police station and opened the entrance door. "Hey," the officers who saw the door open with no one there were stunned and on alert, then "shhhshh," the tied-up laptop and smartphone slid across the floor into the middle of the waiting room and "thud," bumped into the long counter desk.
A stout female officer walked out from behind the counter to pick up the tied-up laptop and smartphone. "Blam," the police station door slamd shut loudly, "Whoa," the officer was startled, turned toward the door, and clutched the laptop to keep it from falling.
Dylan walked toward his house while still invisible, tossing the small gold statue in his hand and wearing the wristwatch.
"This is fun, haha," Dylan said in his head.
[I’m glad you’re enjoying it, sir.]

"Click," Dylan entered his house. "Where have you been?" Dylan looked up to see Ellie standing in front of him with her arms crossed.
"I just took a walk, couldn’t sleep," Dylan said.
"Huh... carrying a backpack, wearing a black hoodie. What if soone thinks you’re a thief?" Ellie asked.
"Ah, impossible. I just went to the park nearby," Dylan replied. "You’re not wrong, I am a thief, hehe," Dylan thought in his heart.
"Fine, whatever. Let’s go to bed," Ellie replied.
Wanting to try out his new skill, Dylan used his "ray vision" skill, and imdiately all of Ellie’s clothes vanished. "Shhhw," a little blood flowed from Dylan’s nose.
"Thanks for the midnight entertainnt," Dylan said.
"Huh?" Ellie replied, confused.

anwhile, in the ride-share taxi, Dylan opened his banking app again and brought up his holographic screen. Then he transferred a sum of money to Sarah, the real estate agent he had just worked with Alex on, for his own purposes.
[Hmm... you’re actually quite kind, too.]
"Just giving $500 to Ms. Sarah. Poor thing, she ca full of hope only to be ssed with by Alex," Dylan said.
[By you too, sir.]
"Yeah... that’s why I feel a little guilty and gave her money, so be quiet, don’t complain," Dylan replied.
[Very well, sir.]
