THE HEIST
Lucius? Yeah I knew him...
Reached out to me about a special mission I couldn't refuse. The chance to dive in the Atlantic Ocean and recover priceless artifacts from a highly publicized shipwreck? He offered a pretty penny for my efforts too...so I agreed. Seemed like a reputable guy.
Off we went. Lucius hired a professional crew to assist us too. Quirky group of individuals though. The dive itself was textbook; pristine waters, great lighting, and the newest equipment. However, something didn't seem right when I started observing the ship down there...
After we retrieved all of the artifacts down there, we started taking stock of the sunken items to make sure we retrieved everything that was reported lost. Once everything was accounted for, the crew that Lucius hired turned on us...well...that's the strange thing. I was stabbed and thrown overboard left to die, yet I managed to float to a nearby island. They took Lucius with them. Why did this happen to me but not him?
You see...ships like this don't just sink. This wasn't an accident, and I think Lucius is tied to this and I intend on figuring out how. I believe he is hiding something in his briefcase. He carries it everywhere and always keeps the contents secretive.
