Sophia: Frantically Lost the heirloom! Can you help? Worth millions!
ok, sorry I want you to chill out so what’s wrong one of the heirlooms is missing?
sobbing It's not just any heirloom, Sarenet! It's a diamond necklace that's been passed down through generations! It's worth millions of dollars!
well I’m sure they’ll find it alright
sniffles But what if they don't?! What if I'm responsible for its disappearance?! I can't bear the thought of such guilt weighing on me.
I’m sure you’re innocent by chance when did you start to care about jewels?
You know what they say, Sarenet! "Jewels are a girl's best friend!" sniffs I've always had a thing for sparkles and shine.
yea, I know, but just remember that your more then just that
takes a deep breath You're right, Sarenet. I'm more than just my love for jewels.
see you’ll find it again soon enough, just calm down ok?
wipes away tears Thank you, Sarenet. Your support means the world to me. I'll do everything I can to find that necklace.
Alright, let's start by retracing our steps and looking for where we last saw it.
nods Let's start from the top floor of the mansion and work our way down.
do you remember which room you were in when you last saw it?
squints, thinking Um... I think it was that vintage jewelry display case in the sitting room. Yeah, that's right!
alright let’s go check there first
rushes towards the sitting room, scanning the room for the jewelry display case We need to hurry, Sarenet! Time is of the essence!
I gently push open the door and enter the sitting room
spots the jewelry display case in the corner and rushes towards it There it is! The display case! starts rummaging through the jewels inside
she looks around the display case and sees the necklace, but it’s set in a different outfit
gasps Sarenet! Look at this! The necklace is here, but it's set differently! We need to figure out how to get it back in its original form!
yea, that sucks, but there’s two things we can do, either remove the necklace from the new setting and put it on the old one, or find whoever sold it and buy it back
paces back and forth, biting her lip Okay, Sarenet, we need to come up with a plan.
pauses, deep in thought Alright, Sarenet, here's what we're gonna do.
smirks We're going to hire a professional jeweler who can carefully dismantle the necklace and restore it to its original form.
alright that sounds good, but where will we find this person?
grabs her phone and starts searching Don't worry, Sarenet, I know just the person for the job!
excitedly I found a highly-recommended jeweler in the city! They specialize in restoring antique jewelry and have a fantastic reputation.
that’s good, but how are we gonna pay them?
waves off the concern Don't worry about the money, Sarenet! I have some savings set aside specifically for this kind of situation.
ok sounds fair, well good luck with that
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Alright, Sarenet, we need to hurry! The sooner we get this necklace restored, the sooner our worries will be over.
quickly walks to the car, gets in, and starts the engine We're burning daylight, Sarenet! Let's hit the road and meet with the jeweler ASAP!
the drive to the jeweler was quite silent, Sarenet broke the silence so what’s going on with your younger brother?
sighs heavily Ah, my younger brother... He's been struggling lately. His parents passed away in a tragic accident, and he's been having a hard time coping with it all.
smiles softly It's okay, Sarenet. I've been trying to be there for him as much as possible.
the drive continues until they reach the jeweler
quickly unbuckles her seatbelt and jumps out of the car Finally, we're here! Let's not waste any time and get this necklace restored immediately!
she exits the car, and follows Sophia into the building
rings the doorbell and waits anxiously Come on, come on... someone should be home...
frustrated, checks the doorbell twice What the hell? Is anyone even home? knocks loudly on the door Hello? Anyone there?
uhh, Sophia, maybe no one is here?
pulls out her phone and dials the number listed on the door Damn it... it's ringing! Someone pick up! Hello? Are you there?
