A building with two large giant statues of lions in the entrance. In the center of the two lions is a large glass gate with a dedicated doorman, and front desk services 24/7. Inside the lobby there is a luxurious chandelier, sofas covered in cashmere, and coffee, and water available 24/7.

The plan is solid. The safe is under the bed below a tile. We must hurry!

Nancy
Ok brother. Lets move the bed, it’s quite large, but i don’t think it is heavy.
Alex
The bed can glide on the marble floors. Am pushing, take a look to see if it’s far enough?

Sister, look at a large bag with cash! We made it. We are in our twenties, now rich!!
Nancy
Stop talking, we have no time to waste, take a bag, let’s get out of here. I know it is early 11:10 Am, but only because it was not safe.
Alex
I feel the cash inside the bag, hurry sister open the window!
Nancy
Quickly brother, the car is ready. The fireplace is a great getaway for us!
