"I can see why you spent a lot of time here." Lisa commented as she took in just how grand the ditzy blonde's house truly was. The main hallway was about as big as the great hall in Harry Potter.
"It is pretty nice, isn't it." Steve smiled. He'd seen vast mansions before when meeting with potential investors but none of them compared to Beth's mansion. Albert clearly had good taste.
"The chandelier looks more expensive than our house and cars put together." The teen said.
"It is." Steve confirmed. Beth had told him her father said it cost one million dollars.
Mary ignored the father-daughter conversation and led them towards a large painting that sat beside a marble bust of the mistress's late mother. The disgruntled housekeeper grabbed the head and pulled it back to reveal a hidden red button.
"What the hell?" Lisa whispered.
Mary pushed it in, and the large panting slid to the side to expose a hidden elevator. "Stay close to me and don't touch anything other than what you came for."
Steve and Lisa nodded before filing into the elevator along with the redhead. Down they went for what felt like an eternity as Lisa tried her best to process the whole Mission Impossible vibe that she just walked into. Hidden elevators, science fiction technology, high stakes. When did her life suddenly become an action movie?
Once the elevator finally reached the ground floor her eyes widened. Standing in front of her was a giant metal safe surrounded by an intricate laser grid, motion sensors and cameras with audio.
Steve saw his daughter's expression and chuckled. "I know. Very Ocean's Eleven."
Mary grumbled and walked through the defenses without them ever registering.
Lisa looked stunned. "What the hell?"
"She's part of the staff." Steve explained. "She's doesn't register to the security system. It's actually quite fascinating because..."
She listened to her father talk about science that went well and truly over her head as Mary disabled the security measures. She told the pair to move it as she brought her eyes up to a retinal scanner that confirmed her identity. The safe door spun and slowly began to crack open.
Lisa was left stunned at the inside of the vault. "Holy shit."
"It really is amazing." Her father smiled as he took it all in. The vault was huge and lined with all kinds of riches from across the world, not just money. It was all the culmination of Alberts corporate triumph and say what you will about the man... he had style.
Lisa looked like she was about to touch something before Mary's voice cut in, cold and sharp. "Don't. Touch. Anything."
The startled teen quickly nodded. "Yes, ma'am!"
She sighed. "Good. Now grab your doohickey and let's go."
Steve agreed. "Understood."
