  When the woman came to visit, she often talked with Max. During one of their talks at the museum, he found out that she was studying Italian. He lied and told her he had always wanted to learn Italian. He was simply using Italian as a trick. And it worked! Max and the woman met every Saturday afternoon to study Italian.

  During the lessons, they also talked about themselves. Max told her many details about his security job. What Max didn't learn, however, was that the woman was not as innocent(单纯的) as she looked. She was actually an famous international jewel pilferer! Her latest goal was the rare Black Diamond! This diamond is the most valuable diamond in the world and it was part of the exhibit that Max was guarding. All her attention on him was a trick to learn more about the museum's security system.

  One night, she entered the building using the security code that Max shared with her. Then she walked up to the glass case protecting the Black Diamond and unlocked it with the key she stole from Max. As she held the diamond in her hands, she laughed, "The Black Diamond is mine!" Just then the lights went on, an alarm sounded and a team of police ran in. They caught her! As a police officer handcuffed(用手铐拷住) her, the lead police investigator came into the room. Her surprise was so strong that she was unable to speak. It was Max.
