Dinner with Kaiser

Valerie followed Kaiser into his mansion. The word 'opulent' came into her mind - the entry hallway was practically littered with famous paintings, sculptures and artifacts. Several highly prized pieces of art almost seemed to be fighting for her attention as she followed him to the dining room.

The interior was colder than outside, and she felt a small chill in her body. It reminded her that even though she appeared clothed, all that covered her body was a thin layer of holographic paint and a flimsy g-string. The occasional jiggle of her breasts made her feel exposed and ****, keeping her hidden nudity in the front and center of her mind. The fact that nobody seemed to notice added an intoxicating thrill to the experience. She felt herself getting strangely addicted to this feeling.

"You have quite the collection." she remarked, mainly to distract herself from the dangerous cocktail of emotions brewing in her mind. She saw a small table with two chairs in the center of the room, with food and wine already laid out.

"Indeed. Though I must say, at the moment, none of them seem quite as beautiful as you.", he replied cheekily, pulling a chair for her to sit.

She wanted to roll her eyes at the cheesy line, however, she needed to keep him engaged. Instead, she let out a rehearsed giggle. "You must say this to every girl.", she said coyly as she seated herself.

"A toast", he said, raising a glass as he sat opposite her. "to your beauty."

She raised the glass in turn. "A toast to your good taste.", she replied, as they began to eat. The next half an hour passed in light conversation. There were several moments where she caught him starting at her, barely disguised lust in his eyes.

She brought up the topic of the painting. "It's something very dear to me and my father's heart.", she said. "We're willing to pay handsomely for it."

"I can understand why you like it so much. It's one of the prized objects in my collection. However, as much as I hate to disappoint you, no amount of money can make me part with it.", he replied.

She pretended to act disappointed. She was about to respond when her phone dinged from inside her purse. "Apologies, but I must take this.", she said, taking it out and seeing that "Henry" had left her a text.

Can't find your favorite wine in the supermarket. Any idea where I should look?

Uh oh, she thought. It meant that while Hawk had successfully sneaked inside Kaiser's office, the chip wasn't actually present there. This meant that the intel they had received was wrong. But did it mean that Kaiser didn't have the chip at all, or did it mean he was just keeping it somewhere else? She needed to find out what was happening.

She began typing a response as she formulated a plan of action.
