"Cool! That should be enough of those." Mina stepped in front of the lights so Quinn could see her. "So, I'll just take that back off you." She reached out for the blade. Quinn shrugged, passing over the weighty divider to Mina who swiftly disappeared back into the darkness, seconds later her voice rang out "So that's the easy stuff all done. Now we get to start working on the action shots." there was a gentle scrapping of metal as Mina disposed of the blade, followed by the gentle patter of her feet as she moved back to the work area. "Okay Quinn, so if you could unlock, and open the cabinet doors for me please. Start at the top and work your way down, okay?"
"Okay." Quinn turned to the box reaching for the uppermost catch. Despite its sturdy design and firm attachment, it's action was smooth. Mina's voice picked up "Okay and if you can look over your shoulder to me whilst you... Excellent! Beautiful pose Quinn. Now open the door, that's it, great!"

Steadily Quinn unlocked the remaining catches, sliding the doors open one at time. Mina fired off shot, after shot, the sharp snaps of her camera, a constant reminder of her presence. As Quinn opened the last door she took a second to study the interior of the cabinet. It was lined with a soft black velvet, but there were no secret doors or compartments that she could discern, 'How is this going to work?' she wondered.

"Lovely Quinn. Now the illusion is performed barefoot so if you could just slip off your shoes please." Quinn nodded towards the voice in the darkness. Leaning on the cabinet for support she elegantly raised her right leg so that her foot arched up behind her. Reaching back she slipped the strappy shoe from her foot, before pivoting into a delicate crouch, placing the shoe on the floor. Snap, snap, snap. Mina worked overtime attempting to catch all of the models subtle moves, 'My, she is good.' she thought to herself 'It'll be interesting to see how her professional composure holds up to a couple of blades' Mina smiled to herself, there was always something exciting about introducing an unsuspecting assistant to a sudden division. "Okay Quinn and the other shoe." The model consented, once again gently leaning on the box she pulled her left leg up, causing the hem of her silken cocktail dress to rise up her thigh to reveal the lacy trim of her hold-ups beneath. Delicately she slipped her remaining shoe off of her foot. Mina smiled as she thought, 'Yes, this was going to be exciting'.
