Cashmere had decided to do some of what she called "reconnaissance", whatever that was. Arwa was skeptical. "You commented on alcohol and almost immediately after, proposed a recon mission. And then had us and only us come because you know we won't rat you out, Grandma."
"It's time to go!" Cashmere bleated, pointedly ignoring her granddaughter. "The window is closing! Go! Go! Go go go go go!"
"But the window's not open," Bob said, confused. "I mean, the door is open, but the window isn't."
"The window of time, smarty-socks!"
"Okay."
Entering the house, the goats stopped as Cashmere talked. "We should split up. It covers more ground." Now, as I'm sure practically everyone is screaming,
"No! That's a terrible idea! Don't split up in a house in the middle of the night!" Well, for one, it was not the middle of the night and two, Cashmere suggested that they split up so she could find the liquor cabinet. Also, Cashmere is a crazy, ornery grandma goat. Why else would she be wearing black cloth for a recon mission? She's crazy! As are the rest of them, true, but still.
"Grandma, that doesn't seem like a good idea…" Seeing she was about to object, Bob hastily continued. "But yes ma'am! I'll do it immediately!" And so, they split up. Cashmere found the liquor cabinet and proceeded to get drunk. The twins went looking for the recycling, not taking the mission seriously, but found the pantry first, and ate, and ate, and ate, getting themselves soaked in canned goods during the process. Arwa decided to go with Bob to keep him out of trouble, but slipped on Gillis and Giles exceptionally messy trail and slammed into the drunk Cashmere. All of this, quite obviously, created a gigantic amount of noise, bringing the attention of the Farmer's Wife, a very dangerous individual who wielded a broom and had a very nasty shooing technique, whom chased the goats out of her pantry, out of her husband's hidden liquor cabinet that she was most certainly going to have words with him about, in spite of the whole former President of the USA thing. But, you may ask where Bob was during this whole commotion? Well, he didn't know. He had, however, found the farmer and was trying to apologize to him for his grandma, but that just made him freak out more. So, Bob decided that he would straight out tell Farmer Jimmy that everything was okay, and talking goats were normal. The farmer adopted this weird glazed look in his eyes that reminded Bob of heaven on earth and started following his every word feverishly.
"Yes, sir. There is a tree outside the window that you must climb down to escape my wife, who will be coming in…" The Farmer checked his watch. "Approximately one minute."
Needless to say, Bob was very confused. "Huh?"
"Climb down the tree to escape! Or you could just brainwash her the same way you did me."
"But I have no idea how I brainwashed you! I didn't even know I brainwashed you until you said I did!"
Just then, the Farmer's Wife entered the door, and Bob passed out.
