My name is Daniel Hayes and I never
thought my quiet life would turn into a
dangerous adventure. I work as a
security assistant at the National City Museum.
Museum.
It is not a very exciting job. Most days
I just walk around, look at old
paintings, check that the doors are
locked, and help visitors who get lost.
But everything changed on the night the
midnight diamond was stolen.
The midnight diamond is the most
valuable jewel in the museum. It is
famous all over the world. It is big,
bright, and blue like the deep ocean.
People come from different countries
just to see it. We keep it inside a
special glass box with lasers and alarms
around it. Nobody can touch it. Nobody
can go near it without permission. At
least that's what we believed.
I still remember that night clearly. It
was Friday and the museum was unusually
quiet. I was working the night shift and
only three employees were inside the
building. Me, the head guard, Mr.
Oliver, and the cleaning lady, Miss Rosa.
Rosa.
At around 11:45 p.m., I was walking down
the long hall that leads to the diamond
room. The lights were low and everything
looked peaceful. But then I noticed
something strange. A shadow moved
quickly across the floor near the corner.
corner.
At first, I thought it was Miss Rosa.
Maybe she was cleaning that area, but
the shadow moved too fast and too
quietly. I felt my heart beat a little
faster. I walked to the corner and
looked around, but the hallway was
empty. No sound, no light, nothing.
I tried to calm myself. "Maybe I
imagined it," I whispered. But deep
inside, I knew I didn't imagine
anything. Something was wrong.
About 10 minutes later, I heard a soft
beep in my earpiece. It was the silent
alarm from the diamond room. This alarm
is special. It doesn't ring loudly.
Instead, it sends a signal only to the
security team. It means something
touched the glass box or entered the
laser area.
My stomach felt tight. I began to run.
When I reached the diamond room,
everything looked normal at first
glance. The diamond was still in its
box, shining like a star. The glass
looked clean and untouched.
But then I saw something small on the
floor, a tiny piece of black cloth.
Someone had been there. I bent down to
pick it up. It looked like a torn piece
from a glove or a mask. As I held it in
my hand, Mr. Oliver rushed into the
room. "What happened?" he asked,
breathing hard. The silent alarm, I
said. Someone was here. He looked around
carefully. The diamond is safe. Maybe
it's a system error. But I knew the
system never made mistakes.
The next morning, the museum opened as
usual. Visitors came in taking pictures
and admiring the exhibits. I walked
around, but I couldn't stop thinking
about that shadow and the piece of cloth.
cloth.
At noon, a group of tourists entered the
diamond room. They were excited and
talking loudly. I stood nearby, just
watching. Then everything happened at once.
once.
A young girl pointed at the glass box
and screamed, "The diamond is gone." My
heart dropped. I pushed through the
crowd and looked. The box was empty. The
midnight diamond had disappeared.
I felt frozen. Just last night, it was
there. And now it was gone without a
sound, without a trace.
Mr. Oliver came running again, but this
time his face turned pale. We need to
lock the museum immediately, he said.
Police arrived within minutes. They
blocked the doors, questioned visitors,
and collected evidence. I told them
everything I saw, the shadow, the cloth,
the silent alarm. They wrote down my
words carefully, but nobody understood
how the thief stole the diamond without
breaking the glass or tripping the
lasers. It felt impossible.
Later that afternoon, I was called into
the museum office by Detective Lara
Shaw. She was tall, serious, and spoke
slowly, like she wanted to catch every detail.
detail.
You were the first person near the
diamond last night, she said. Tell me
everything again.
I repeated my story. She listened with
sharp eyes, tapping her pen on the table.
table.
When I finished, she opened a folder.
Inside were several photos taken by the
museum's security cameras. "Do you
recognize this woman?" she asked.
I looked at the picture. It showed a
woman wearing a dark coat and a hat
pulled low over her face. She stood near
the diamond room entrance last night at
exactly 11:40 p.m., 5 minutes before I
saw the shadow.
No, I said slowly. I've never seen her before.
before.
Detective Shaw nodded. She didn't appear
on any other camera afterward. It's like
she disappeared inside the museum.
A chill went down my spine. Do you think
she stole the diamond? We don't know,
she said, but she is our first lead.
That night, I couldn't sleep. My mind
kept replaying everything, especially
the shadow. I returned to the museum
early the next morning to help the
police continue the investigation.
While walking past the storage room, I
noticed something unusual. The door was
slightly open. That door is always locked.
locked.
I pushed it open and stepped inside. At
first, I saw nothing but boxes and
supplies. Then near the back of the
room, I saw another piece of the same
black cloth I found earlier. This wasn't
an accident. Someone had used the
storage room as a hiding place.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. I
turned, expecting a police officer, but
it was the woman from the photo. She
stared at me with cold eyes. Before I
could speak, she whispered harshly. "You
shouldn't be here."
My heart slammed against my chest. "Who
are you?" I asked.
She didn't answer. Instead, she stepped
toward me. Her movements were fast and
silent like a shadow. I backed away.
"Did you steal the diamond?" She paused
for a moment, just a second, and in that
moment, I saw something in her eyes.
Fear. desperation, not the confidence of
a thief. "No," she said softly. "But I
know who did." Before I could ask more,
she pushed past me and ran out of the
room. I followed her, but when I reached
the hallway, she was gone, completely
gone, like she vanished into thin air. I
ran to Detective Shaw and told her
everything. At first she looked
doubtful, but she followed me to the
storage room. The piece of cloth was
still there.
This proves she came here, I said.
Detective Shaw thought for a moment. But
why would she return to the museum if
she was the thief?
I suddenly remembered the fear in the
woman's eyes. She's not the thief, I
said. She's hiding from someone.
We reviewed the security footage again.
This time, we noticed something new. At
the exact moment the silent alarm went
off, another figure appeared on a
different camera. A man wearing a museum
staff uniform.
But there was a problem. None of the
staff looked like him. He was using a
fake uniform. "That's our thief,"
Detective Shaw said. His face was
covered, but his walk, his size, and his
timing matched everything.
The next day, the museum ordered a full
maintenance inspection. While checking
the basement, workers found a small
wooden panel behind some old cabinets.
When they opened it, they discovered a
narrow hidden tunnel.
It led directly under the diamond room.
It was the answer to everything.
The thief used the tunnel to enter the
room from below. That's how he avoided
the lasers and the alarms. He probably
used special tools to silently open the
bottom of the glass box and take the diamond.
diamond.
But where was he now? And why was the
mysterious woman hiding?
Later that evening, I walked outside the
museum for some fresh air. Suddenly, I
saw the same mysterious woman standing
across the street. This time, she didn't
run. She waved at me to follow her. I
crossed the street carefully.
I know where he is, she said quietly.
The thief. He took something from me, too.
too.
What did he take? I asked. My freedom,
she said. He forced me to distract the
guards, but I never entered the diamond
room. I swear I believed her. Where is
he now? She pointed toward an old
warehouse near the river. We called
Detective Shaw and went together. When
we arrived, the warehouse was dark and
silent. We entered slowly, flashlights
in hand. Then we heard footsteps above
us. the thief. He tried to escape
through a window, but Detective Shaw
shouted, "Stop!" and ran after him. I
followed, my heart racing.
The chase led us to the roof. The thief
jumped to another building, but he
slipped and fell. When we reached him,
he was lying on the ground, injured, but
alive. In his jacket pocket was the
midnight diamond. The mystery was
finally solved.
The museum celebrated the return of the
diamond. The mysterious woman was
cleared of all charges and given
protection. Her name was Elena, and she
had been forced to help the thief who
was part of a dangerous crime group. As
for me, the museum promoted me to full
security officer for my help in solving
the case. My quiet life was no longer
quiet, but I didn't mind. I had
discovered something new about myself.
I liked solving mysteries, and I knew
this was only the beginning of many more adventures.
