An extract from the story:

However, when Quinn cautiously looked around the corner to the other room, his mind could not entirely make sense of what he was seeing in the stark, bright light from the fireworks outside. Why was there a man dressed completely in black from head to toe, wearing a Venetian chequered mask, in the art gallery at this time of night? And what on Earth was he doing with the Raphael painting of the Madonna in the Meadow?

Then realisation dawned upon him.

It is a thief! Quinn’s eyes went wide and he caught his breath. And he is stealing the paintings!

And indeed, the lithe black-clad man had already removed several paintings from their frames and rolled them up before he had ungraciously stuffed them into a black canvas backpack that stood on the marble floor next to a small hooded lantern. The sight of the rolled and rather manhandled paintings sparked Quinn’s anger instantly.

You shall not steal those paintings and leave this house, he vowed and clenched his jaw. Not as long as I am here to stop you!
