Fingers pulled at the tight collar around Holden's neck. Why he had agreed to a formal party was beyond him. The former Corellian Security Force Officer had not worn a suit and tie since his days as a detective, and the scoundrel had not missed a day of it. All it took was some young, gorgeous, brunette to bat her lashes with the promise of big payday and a peek at what was under the dress after to get Holden on the hook. Of course this brunette was not anyone. Sure the Corellian was easy, but it took more than a peek at undergarments to get him into a tie. Had it not been Eryn doing the asking or making the offer, Holden would have told the chick where to go. Unfortunately for him, the one woman that proved to be his weakness was the one with the job. Tark would never understand how it was she got under his skin so much, especially when every time she was around he got into trouble, big trouble, the kind that ended with a trip to the hospital, or worse, jail.
The event was not so bad. Naboo was a nice place to be anytime of year, especially in the home of some wealthy aristocrat who was clueless to the artifacts they had in their vault. Much of the collection was going to be on display, and Holden would not have been able to resist getting his hands on an invitation. Many of the pieces belonged in a museum where they could be admired by the public, but instead they found themselves as thankless trophies in some private collection. Naturally Eryn wanted to steal one of the more rare pieces. How she kept finding herself in the business of stealing priceless artifacts was a mystery Holden was still trying to work out, but she did, and Holden was always there to bail her out when she needed it.
This was their first actual agreed on job. Typically the two ran into each other, but for once this was all arranged before hand. They had a plan, or so they hoped they did. As Holden cleared his through once more, he grabbed a couple of glasses of champagne. It started with blending in. That was supposed to be the easy part, but as Holden looked over to Eryn, it was clear, that while she looked stunning, the girl was not one to wear a dress often. This was a great start, as long as she didn't make him dance.
"Champagne?"
The glass in his right hand was offered, and when it was taken the one in his left took its place. Lifting the fluted glass to his lips, Holden sipped the golden liquid. It would never have been his first choice, but they were not there to get drunk. The pair was there to work.
The sip was designed to disguise the fact Holden was looking the room over to ensure their schematics had been correct. So far so good.
"We can slip out soon, but first... we have to get to the other side of the room."
