- Wouldn't you like to steal more than just houses? -Wolf asks, waiting for his friend to open the door.
- If you want we can go later and steal some ice cream. -The snake mocks, concentrating on the keyhole.
- Ha ha ha ha. -He laughs falsely before going to the backyard.
Mr. Snake has all his attention on taking the lock off.
The door opens.
He smiles.
The Wolf gives him the same smile on the other side of the door.
- Hey," he looks at him in surprise. -
- I went back to check the son's room with seven locks on his door and window and you were right! He's crazy! I dig a hole under his bed. -He wipes the dirt off his clothes. A little small but I'm an excellent digger. -
- You could have called me. -
- I wanted to surprise you. -Smile.
- Surprise for those we rob, not each other while we rob them. -Enter the house.
The canine just raises his hands in a sign of peace and closes the door before following him.
- How did you know about the hole? -
They start rummaging through the whole house and stealing everything that looked valuable.
- I saw that there were bites on the locks. -He answers, taking everything that seemed valuable to him. -He laughs. Besides, all the locks were on, and it seemed strange to me that they locked him in without him being in the room. -
He looks at the pictures on the wall, he doesn't see any pictures of a child.
- I'm surprised you didn't notice. -She looks at him with a raised eyebrow.
- Yeah, well. -He swallows a watch. That's why I brought you here. -
- Oh, it's good of you to say that! -He smiles. Because I've been thinking of a place to rob. -
- And what's that? -He grimaces at the tasteless decorations.
- It's a small, quiet place. -He pauses dramatically. A bank. -
- No. He answers and goes to the kitchen.
The Wolf, waiting for this answer, follows him without wiping off his smile.
- Come on! Don't you want to climb in your career? -
- Being known for eating people beats robbing a bank. -He answers proudly.
The jet-haired man can't refute that argument.
- Besides, I have everything I need. -He looks in the drawers.
- Of course you have everything you need! For you to live eating the same candy for seventy years is more than enough. -
He's never met anyone so stubborn, it was even hard to make him change ice cream flavors.
- I'm not seventy years old, you arrogant brat. -He turns to look at him angrily.
- Think about it, we'll have more than we can get from just robbing stores and houses. -He tears a calendar off the wall.
There's the safe.
It was easy to tell because of the peculiar construction of the house.
- You're the best safecracker I know. -
His partner prefers to concentrate on opening the safe.
Less than a minute later they hear a click.
- Boring supermarket safes are no longer a challenge for you. -When was the last time you felt that thrill in a robbery? -
His friend gives him a dirty look when he sees that he touched his weak spot.
- It'll all be worth it with this," he opens the box dramatically.
Both of their faces are surprised.
It's empty.
- Maybe keep the money somewhere else. -Wolf suggests just as stunned.
They rummage through the house.
- There is nothing! -he exclaims after searching a second time.
- Oh, I get it! -says the youngest, reading some documents.
- What is it? -
- It's a foster home, that explains why there were no photos, surely they are only interested in the subsidy. -He speculates, looking at the picture of the piranha boy, "I'd like to meet him. He has a lot of potential, he must have been the one who emptied the house. -
- Let's take the TV and the computer with us. -The reptile declares disappointed.
A mobile car with no license plate drives on the darkest roads and identified by no security cameras.
- Mr. Snake. -He doesn't give up, and the man named snorts.
- Do you want to hear the truth? -His friend doesn't take his smile off. -He's glad to see me smirk at him.
- That hurt. -
The snake looks unmoved.
- We both know I'm already much better than you. -Now his partner looks offended. You haven't robbed another bank since we started working together. -
- I couldn't rob one with a teenager on my tail. -He chides.
- Good thing I've learned to walk on my own. -He's got his eyes on the road.
- Pass. -Quickly dismissed.
- And that's because...? -He has a strained smile of rejection.
- You act like you're in a crime movie. -
- You love it. -She points her finger at him. You're not fooling me, I've seen those smiles. -
- I'm just saying you could be more discreet. -
- Why? -Before he answers, he steps on the gas.
The snake's back sinks into the seat.
- Why be so considerate?! We're the bad guys! -
The car smashes the mailboxes of the houses.
- We don't take orders from anyone! -
You run red lights.
- We follow our own! -
Mr. Snake was catching on to their enthusiasm.
How not to do it? It's with the undefeated champion of street racing.
And a car appears on a corner.
- AAAAAAAAAAAH!
He turns the steering wheel hard.
The tires screech and burn on the asphalt.
They dodge the vehicle but lose control.
Wolf uses both brakes.
The car spins in circles towards some parked cars.
They enter the only empty space and crash into the pedestrian pavement railing.
Dangerously they tilt towards the ground.
Mr. Snake climbs onto the wolf's legs to counterweight.
The tires touch the ground again.
The two friends ponderously catch their breath.
- Admit it was great. -The first to speak is the wolf with a sheepish grin.
- Rob a bank by yourself and if you succeed we'll talk. -He answers with his always angry expression.
- Fair enough. -
Mr. Snake yawns, it's one o'clock in the afternoon, and he just got up.
He needs a cup of coffee.
- Wow! -He exclaims as he sees the bags of money. You don't take a challenge lightly. -
It was only last night that they talked about the bank.
- I would have stolen more, but I'm not that good at cracking safes. -Wolf hints from the couch. Come on, the news is talking about the robbery. -
He turns up the TV.
- . . . The police are now checking the crime scene. -The only clue the robber left was a message he wrote on the wall. -
The camera pans to reveal the note.
- Will you be with me? -The police think it might be a code. . . -
The snake looks at it with a raised eyebrow, and the wolf replies with a smile.
- But between us, we think it's a message from a teenager in love. -
- What! -exclaims the canine.
- We call him the Romeo of Crime. A bandit in search of love. -He invents.
- No! -He puts his hands on his head. -They're going too far! -
- There you go, show-off! -
He laughs out loud.
- You still have a long way to go to be a Mr. like me. -He goes to get his coffee. When you are, come back and ask me. -He says with a smile.

Notice:
I already saw the movie and it didn't disappoint!
Info:
I wanted this chapter to go with the plot of the teenager interested in his teacher, but I didn't want to make it too obvious, so I made it like a metaphor or allusion to it with the invitation/quote to rob a bank. XD
Kind of like for example the chapter of My Little Pony - Tank's Dilemma with the metaphor of the passing of a loved one.
I don't know if I'm good at it, that's why I'm informing you, I hope to improve if I make a chapter like this again.
I hope you liked it.
