After everyone finished eating, Lagos and a few of the kitchen staff took the dishes away. Ace shrugs, "I guess we could start our rounds a bit or get some shut-eye." Mojo said, "You're right. I guess we could split up and see who will be keeping guard, as well as who will be turning in for the night."
Rebecca yawns, "I feel a bit tired. Good night, guys."
The boys responded, "Good night, Becca." Mojo kissed Rebecca, while the Gang Green Gang hugged her. When Rebecca heads upstairs, she gets towards the room she's sharing with Mojo and shuts the door. She heads towards the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Rebecca changes out of her dress and slips on a lavender nightie with short sleeves, then she gets into bed.
Meanwhile, Ace, Mojo, Snake, Grubber, Arturo, and Big Billy began to do their rounds. Mojo began to patrol the study and notices a Doberman Pinscher on the sofa. The dog began to growl at Mojo, which made the chimp say calmly, "Nice doggie. Good doggie." The dog walked towards Mojo and sniffs around him, while Mojo stayed perfectly still.
The dog began to lick Mojo's hand, which made Mojo chuckle and pat the dog's head. Mojo looks at the collar and says, "Nero, just like one of the emperors of Rome." Nero panted and wagged his stubby tail, then Mojo said, "Keep both eyes on thing around here, boy. Leave no cushion or rug unturned."
Over to Ace and Snake, they sat on some chairs in a big hallway near the grand staircase. Snake said as he picks up a vase from a mahogany table, "I'd likesss to see anyone try to getsss thisss." Ace yawned as he stretched his arms back, "There's not a chance with us around."
Over with Arturo, Billy, and Grubber, they kept watch in a large living room. Arturo said to himself, "At least I'm safe from that little demon gato." Billy said, "Duh, Arturo scared of Midnight. Midnight's a nice kitty." Grubber raspberries, "Pfbbbt-pfbbbt-pfbbbt." The two nodded in agreement, which made Billy say, "Oh, he's superstitious about black cats. What else is bad luck? I know about stepping on cracks to break mama's back and Friday 13th."
Arturo says, "There's broken mirrors to give seven years of bad luck, going under ladders, spilt salt, and opening umbrellas inside." Billy said, "I'm not scared of bad luck." Grubber razzes in agreement, "Pffbt-pbbt!"
In one of the bedrooms, the door creaks open and a figure in black walks in. The figure is tall and familiar as he walks towards the fireplace. Going towards the hearth, he takes some priceless trinkets and slips them into a sack. The thief stops as he hears Rebecca mutters in her sleep, "But I wanna have a kitten, Uncle John..."
The thief steps out of the room with ease, but accidentally trips over and lands on his face. Rebecca opens her eyes a little and yawns, "Guys, cut out the racket, will ya?" She goes back to sleep, but wakes up with a start. Rebecca cries out as the burglar came towards her, "AAAAAAAH!" In an instant, the thief covers Rebecca's mouth to stifle her screams and pulls her out of the bed.
Rebecca struggled and kicked her feet in the air as she kept screaming behind the burglar's hand. The burglar pulls out a dark purple handkerchief out of his pocket and a roll of duct tape, then he gags Rebecca with the tape and blindfolds her with the cloth. The girl struggled and tried to fight back, but the man was stronger than her and tied the girl's hands behind her back with some rope. He also tied her ankles together and slings Rebecca over his shoulder.
The man walked down the halls upstairs looks around the doors, then he goes towards a bookcase and smirks, "Perfect." The man pulls out a book, then the bookcase swirls around to show hidden room. The man plops Rebecca towards a chair, then he grabs more ropes and ties Rebecca to it. The burglar spoke in a similar accent, "Nothing personal, Miss Utonium. Just can't have anyone know what I have planned for you so-called house sitters. Make yourself comfortable while you can." Rebecca stops struggling and couldn't believe her ears. She thought to herself, Mojo and Ace were right. How could I be so stupid? I hope the boys get here on time.
