Niles and C.C. crept into the Sheffield mansion as quietly as possible, and tiptoed to the flight of stairs. They had just gotten back from a party, and they didn't want to wake anyone in the household. C.C. fought against giggles as they tiptoed up the stairs.
As they got closer and closer to the second floor, they heard faint scratching noises coming from upstairs. Niles and C.C. exchanged worried glances. Surely it was too late for anyone in the mansion to be up looking for something? At this hour?
Niles silently mouthed that he'd go check it out, and C.C. should stay behind him. Hesitantly, C.C. agreed, scared, but she followed him anyway. Soon enough, they discovered the noise was coming from their bedroom.
Suddenly, Niles jumped into the room, hopping to the side at the last moment so he was obscured by the shadows. He was soon shocked to find C.C.'s brother, Noel, rummaging through their personal belongings.
When Noel became aware of Niles' presence, he didn't even have time to properly react; C.C. was soon standing in the doorway, gawking at him incredulously. As she began to let out a soft scream, Niles quickly jetted his hand out and covered C.C.'s mouth.
As soon as Niles saw that C.C. was in danger, he quickly jumped out from the shadows and began to lunge at Noel when suddenly Noel's hand snaked out, came out to the side of Niles' head, and quickly punched him, knocking him out instantly.
