A fortune undoubtedly lay at their fingertips. A fortune they dare not flaunt, because by all rights, it did not belong to them. She withdrew her hand from the pillow case and grimaced. “We can't expose this treasure to the light of day.”

“I was just thinking something like that. Price tags are a dead giveaway. The stuff has to be loot, stolen, then either lost or hidden to retrieve later.”
“Only we kinda did the retrieving.”
