||Chapter 17: Nightly Breakin||

Quentin draw his plan out.
It was simple; Wait for everyone in the house to go to sleep, grab his dad's ladder thought that will be a pain to drag, use that to get to the window and get, grab the key and get out as quick as possible.

Quentin peaked into the hall, Beatrix was asleep, Ike was asleep hours ago and his parents sound asleep.
It still stun. . . What his mom said about him and Beatrix.
But he pushed that aside for later, he crept downstairs and unlocked the door, it wasn't too hard with the lock they had, it was just a bolt.

~

Opening the shed, he grabbed the ladder and began to drag and carry it to the best of his abilities to The Petersons.

Lisa waited, laid down on the floor of her room and waited for the hallway light to go out and her dad's footsteps.
". . . Night, Teddy."
The hallway light went out and her dad's footsteps echoed through the house.
. . .
She pulled out her phone.

'They're gone to bed.'

~

Quentin nods, it was time to act now.
He managed to extend the ladder, lift it up and against the house walls and aim right for the window.
Why do they need so many damn rooms?!
Maybe they had more secrets but for now; Focus on getting to Franklin and exposing Mr Peterson.
Quentin carefully climbed up the ladder, gripping on tight as he climbed higher and higher but man was it hard to see.

Theodore stirred, rolling over only to feel the hard ground and not his bed.
He opened his eyes, finding himself back in the catacombs.
"O-Oh no. . . No, no, no, no. . ."
He didn't want to move, sitting up slowly and looked around for the monsters.
"Hello there. . ."
Theodore gasped; Behind him.
Slowly looking up, met with the distorted figure with white eyes.
Theodore gasped, and immediately stood up,"W-Who are you. . .", it leaned in close to his face,"I did say we'd meet again, and this wasn't over, sheep.", then groaning came from the fork of the Catacombs.
"And you're nightmare is just beginning."
Theodore backed away, a large Skeleton hand appeared and pulling itself and a Skeleton head appeared.
"I TOLD YOU WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU SAID ANYTHING!!!"
"AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"
Theodore ran through the shadow person, the shadow laughing as the Skeleton gave chase.

~

Lisa heard something, she got up and went to Theodore's room.
The room was tidy, Franklin's top bunk was empty but made and Theodore's teddy was on the floor.
"Teddy?"
Lisa approached her brother, who was sweating a ton, his face scrunched up and he held his blanket.
"He's really hot. . ."

~

Quentin made it to the top, pulling out his lock pick and fiddled with the window lock.
Click.
Oh thank God, this wasn't for nothing.
He opened the window and climbed in.
. . .
The room was filled with materials for machines, some blueprints and low and behold a key with a label that read 'The Weather Station BackUp', yes!
Quentin grabbed it immediately.

=

Theodore came to a dead end!
"No, no, no. . .!"
The Skeleton towered over him, he shrunk to the ground and cried as it reached for him.
thud.
Huh?
The Ninja?!
The Ninja had their sword drawn, from dropping in they beheaded the Skeleton.
. . .
The Ninja then turned to him, Theodore stood up slowly and still shaking.

~

Adelle, woken by her daughter, came to check on Theodore; He was sweating a lot, his temperature raised a little.
His hand shook her own, but then. . . He stopped shaking, seeming to begin to stop shaking and his expression softened.
"Is he okay. . ."
"He's okay. . . It just seems like a really, bad nightmare."
. . .
"Mom. . . Is dad okay?"
Adelle let that question hang in the air.
"Your father. . ."
Adelle sighed,"He. . . He's coping in his own ways, and. . . Just wants to protect us and do what we can.", Lisa sighed, Adelle smiled at her, tiredly.
"You know how your father is. . . If anyone's got ideas and abilities beyond our years it's him and. . . Sometimes, it's hard to accept that. . . Someone you were so close to, family member or not is gone.", Lisa nods, she understood.
She wasn't a parent, but Franklin was the oldest and. . . She understood that her dad didn't want to accept death but, this wasn't the way to go.
Her dad really was a strange man. . . That hasn't changed.
But. . . Lisa looked at her brother, though to her surprise he had tears running down his face.
"? Teddy. . ."

=

He looked up at The Ninja, who looked at him with sad eyes.
"Why. . . Why are you helping me, aren't you mad at me. . . Didn't I do something to deserve this. . ."
The Ninja stared at him.
"Why. . . Why. . . I just want to know. . ."
. . .
The Ninja then raised their sword, Theodore lowered his head expecting to be stabbed or beheaded.
Only the Ninja swung their sword behind him and stabbed the Shadow in the neck.
"AGGGGHHHHHH!!!!"

=

Adelle closed the door, taking her daughter's hand,"Let's head back to-", Thud.
They froze.
. . .
"What was that?"
Clatter.
"Or that?"
Lisa gulped,"Maybe just some stuff fell?","Yeah, true. . . Let's head to bed and deal with it in the morning.", she nods.

=

Ow. . .
Quentin was climbing down, a step snapped and he fell, and then the ladder nearly fell on him.
.  .  .
He stood up, sore all over and packed the ladder up to drag it back home.
Only to look, seeing Robert's figure in the window.
. . .
Isn't he wanting to come out and stop him?
That man was odd.
