“You dare not touch that Lucas–” She warned, darting out of the kitchen; as it was usually one of his habits of getting on her nerves.

But as determined as Lucas was, he was swift enough to take the drive before Tina got there.

She spontaneously threw a scornful look at him, reaching for the phone–unaware that the drive was gone. Lucas thought of taking his leave before Tina becomes conscious of herself over the drive but then, leaving suddenly was surely going to raise eyebrows or suspicions on him so he laid low; hiding the drive while he pretended to play along.
