The Jewel Thief

After an arduous trail, the visitors reached their destination.

The quaint cottage on the hill looked welcoming.

A beautiful lady answered the door.

Her face matched their intelligence-reports.

They were sure they would finally get what they were looking for.

"Where are the diamonds?" they asked. 

Not giving away her nervousness, she confidently answered, "I don't have any."

"Really? We'll soon find out!" 

The officers started searching her home.

Photo Prompt- Brenda Cox

They looked everywhere, but there was no trace of the diamonds.

Had they nabbed the real jewel thief? 

The cactus pot in the corner held the secret they could not unravel.


100 words story for the Friday Fictioneers 

I could not participate last week and thus I have used last week's image too in this week's story.

Do you think they will find the diamonds in the pot and arrest the lady who is the jewel thief? 

Which is the best place to hide stolen diamonds?

Do share in the comments below.

    If the diamonds are in the plant pot, they'll find them

    Dear Anita,

    She's obviously cunning and good at what she does. I like your new link picture.

    Shalom,

    Never come between a lady and diamonds. I'd love to know how she got the diamonds.

    I think she's hidden the diamonds much more securely than in the cactus pot.
