Hearing the steps of the prince coming up. The thief pulled back his hood to hide his face, so he may never recognize by him if they were to ever meet up outside their contract. He also put the gem away into his sack once again. For when hiring him he always ask to be pay half of the fee first and pay for the second when it was over. It was the money first and the object second. Unlike most thieves in Black Alley, Black Panther was honest to his word. There wasn't one time that he broke his client's trust. Until hired for a job that involves them. Then he double cross. It his way for making this life work for him.
Then he got the signal from the staff at the pub. From the far right corner was a sculpture of what looked like a black panther. Sitting on all fours looking proud From afar it looks pricey, but normal. However there was something else to it. For there was a pipe connected to it that lead tot he kitchen. When he was up here and someone was looking for him. They would light a fire and it will travel up. Making the panther's eyes glow a creepy yellow glow. Slow flickers meant that a client was on the way, fast flickers meant that the royal guards or somebody was looking for him and solid meant the boss was looking for him.
He stood up and waited for the Prince to come up. For even if he wanted to keep it for himself. He also wanted to get rid of it. Sure if he kept for awhile it might go up in value, but it left a bad taste in his mouth. For many people actually know the truth of how people acquired such a beauty. For those who did know, didn't care. Which it why he hate the higher class people. So it was actually hard for him to work for them, but there was something he needed to do and it costs a lot of money to do. If he could find another way, he would of. Yet luck was never on his side other then doing the jobs right. All to do now is wait.
