She had to stop herself from rolling her eyes at such a threat. Stay here? yes, that's exactly what she wanted. The United States was not exactly a place that she was thrilled to visit. And while she would have loved to remain in Germany, the rest of her didn't want to feel left behind by him.

"I'm not scared." At least that wouldn't be the word she would have used to describe exactly what she was feeling after the news. She knew him well enough, and just by the sound of his voice, she was positive that he had already made up his mind over the matter (without even bothering to consult her). There was no talking him out of this. -- One thing was stealing a nice piece of art, something for her to look at and satisfy another one of her whims. Taking from others either by lies, blackmail, or spilling some necessary or unnecessary blood, taking lives, and ruining others. "Yes. We steal. But how much money is 'a lot of money', what amount of money has made you wake up with this excellent idea in your head?" She could only imagine. Perhaps she didn't understand much about this sort of business, but she knew that the Nakatomi Corporation was rather a well-known name among everyone who was somebody, and even those who weren't.

"You take the money and then what? You think no one is going to track you down? You think no one is going to know that it was us? What's your big idea? We go into hiding for a few years, let people forget, because oh, sure. they will forget, right?" she said with sarcasm. "Sounds marvelous. Us swimming in money while we live like rats in a corner of the world. Please, let me pack my suitcase right now."
