Catch an Honest Thief

Alexia is trying to protect Haven's most valuable asset. Going undercover and stealing the crystals to prove it can be done seemed like a great idea--until a real thief showed up. Bait and switch is suddenly a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Confessing her part in removing the crystals might aid Chris, the gutsy new security chief, but it would cost Alexia her job and her freedom.  Of course, if she keeps standing in the way of the real thief, it will cost her a whole lot more.
