McKenzie silently walked through the large house, stopping to listen for a few seconds, and then she moved on and into the man's study.
He had a rare volume here. It would be very hard to fence, and usually she went after things like jewelry, but this was fine. She'd make do.
She left the door open behind her, instead or risking a sound by closing it, taking out a small flashlight and looking around for the volume.

Shiro wasn't too far form where McKenzie was, also making his way to the owner's study. Like the woman, he was going after a rare volume held inside the man's study. Unlike her though, he only sought to briefly hold onto it until he had finished reading it before returning it to him.
Of course, as per principle, he had notified the police that he was going to do this, but he was surprised that the house wasn't surrounded by now. A little off, but no matter. The man probably had a very good security system built so the police being there was almost a non-factor.

She kept looking around. Where was it? Her light danced around the bookshelves, but the volume wasn't where it should have been. Had he moved it? That didn't seem like him.
She didn't like this. She shut the light off for now.
Something was clearly off here.

When Shiro arrived at the study, he already found the door open. Well, this is interesting. Perhaps someone's already here? he told himself as he stepped in, making sure to leave the door open.

McKenzie had the dark room working for her, so unless his night vision had fully developed, she would be difficult to see.
For now she was sitting on the floor farther in the back, partially behind a chair, trying to think of where it could be hidden.

Shiro hadn't fully noticed her, but he had the feeling that he wasn't alone in this room. Nevertheless, he focused on the task at hand: finding that volume.

She didn't come up with anything. A safe? Well, a safe could be anywhere, so that didn't help. She turned her head and rolled over to prepare to go towards the door, when she noticed some movement. She quickly moved back behind the chair.
She wasn't alone.

Shiro kept looking at the shelves... but he couldn't escape the nagging feeling that there was someone else here.

She remained low, pretty much crawling. She wasn't looking for a confrontation, she was looking to avoid this person's detection.
But something seemed different. He didn't seem like security or anything like that. It looked like he was looking for something, not patrolling.

"He hid it pretty well, I'll admit..." he said. "I guess the police did tell the owner."

She stopped.
Another thief?

"Oh well. Looks like I need to find it the hard way..."

Yeah, definitely another thief.
Her goal was definitely to get out now. She didn't want a problem here.
She made her way slowly towards the door, keeping as far behind furniture as she could.

"I know you're here," Shiro said, as he continued to look for the volume.

She kept crouched, "I couldn't find it," she told him.
