Chapter 6

Summary

• He stole a pistol from a museum and managed to escape with his partner, Anne-Catherine, without getting caught.
• He cleaned and polished the pistol with lemon juice back in his apartment and savored its brilliance.
• Despite leaving multiple clues behind and being worried about getting caught, they saw no news of the theft in the local press and were relieved.
• He slept next to the stolen pistol, considering it too exquisite to be hidden. He and Anne-Catherine felt their relationship become stronger and their pride grow.
• Desiring to steal another artifact, they went to a medieval museum located in an imposing fortified castle with red-sandstone towers and a moat.
• In the weapons hall, he spotted a perfect crossbow but it was placed too high to reach.
• Using his ability to come up with quick solutions, he placed a chair under the crossbow, stood on it, unhitched the wire that held the crossbow and decided to toss it out through a window.
• They left the castle, retrieved the crossbow from the bushes outside, and returned home.
• L’Alsace, the local newspaper, reported on the theft but didn't identify him or Anne-Catherine as suspects, which made them feel even more confident.
• After his parents’ divorce was finalized, he moved in with his mother and started decorating his new room with the stolen items.
• Looking around the room, they saw many blank walls, a sign that there was still space for more stolen artifacts.
