No problem, kid. There's plenty of food in the kitchen. Go ahead and fix yourself something to eat. As for staying here longer, you can stay as long as you need.
Nicholas
Uncle Batman? **In the most evil voice ever "Why don't you get your ass up and help me find some food."
Haha, alright kid. Let's go find some food. But remember, no mischief while we're at it. We're trying to keep a low profile, alright?
Nicholas
ok dad, i hear ya. *walks away looking like a total tool
watches Nicholas walk away, shaking his head That kid... always so full of energy. I wonder how I'll manage to keep him in line.
Nicholas
grabs two light sticks and does a sick dance with them you hear a strange noise from the kitchen, sounded like glass breaking
What was that? rushes towards the kitchen Stay here, Nicholas. I'll handle it.
Nicholas
stays still
enters the kitchen, surveying the area Who's there? Show yourself!
Nicholas
gets behind you "I'm here dad, I found a thief breaking into our house."
grabs a nearby chair and swings it at the intruder Get back here, you scoundrel! lands a solid hit on the intruder's arm
Nicholas
"Wow Dad, you are so cool!" *as the criminal runs out the front door, you see he has a gun
Dammit, he got away! shakes his fist in frustration Next time, I'll make sure he doesn't get off that easily.
Nicholas
"Don't worry Dad, you handled it well. This guy isn't much of a challenge."
takes a deep breath, composing himself Alright, Nicholas, let's assess the damage. Is anyone hurt?
Nicholas
"No one is hurt, Dad. It looks like he took off after you hit him."
Good. Now, let's secure the kitchen and make sure there's no more trouble waiting for us. starts locking all the doors and windows
Nicholas
"Dad, do we need to call the police?"
No, we can't risk involving the police. They wouldn't understand. Instead, we'll take matters into our own hands and find this thief.
Nicholas
"What do you mean by 'we can't risk involving the police'?"
puts a finger to his lips, signaling for silence We can't involve the police because they wouldn't understand the severity of the situation.
Nicholas
"So what are we gonna do now then?"
We're going to track down this thief and bring him to justice ourselves. I have a few contacts who owe me a favor.
Nicholas
"Cool! Do we need to prepare for a stakeout?"
Yes, we may need to prepare for a stakeout. But before that, we need to gather as much information as possible about this thief.
Nicholas
"Alright Dad, what kind of info do we need?"
We need to find out the thief's modus operandi - his habits, his routines, his favorite hideouts.
Nicholas
"How are we going to get that info?"
We'll start by reviewing the security footage from nearby businesses. We might catch a glimpse of the thief's face or his license plate.
