We open up to see ourselves surrounded by houses in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. All of the street lights are lit and snow is on the ground. It appears by the lack of lights turned on that everyone is either asleep or gone off to another families home. All looks calm and peaceful with no sign of any danger. We turn to our left and look down to a home covered gingerly in snow. The only thing that sets this home apart from the others is the fact that the door is wide open. We move smoothly and moderately fast to the dark doorway. As we go inside we barely make out features of a families happy home. There are a few toys an infant would play with strewn about the room and the couch is long and a wrap around. As soon as we get a grip on our surroundings a the sound of glass breaking breaks the silence. As we move to the next room it is obvious we are in the kitchen. The glass that broke was part of what now is a empty cabinet. We turn from the cabinet to the other end of the kitchen. We see two figures bumbling around and desperately trying to finish up whatever they were doing.
First figure- why the hell did you bust open the damn cabinet? Now everyone around will know we are here. Why didn?t you just shoot a flare into the air you dummass.
Second figure- I was trying to get the silver plates inside now get off my back and help me load this china in the bag?..hey gently with that!
The next sound we hear is the sound of porcelain breaking. For a second the second figure stood up and smacked the first repeatedly. This ended as soon as we heard a door slam shut. The two figures stood still and looked at each other for a minute so they could hear anything else that may happen. Nothing else was heard except for a painfully long silence. At this point in time the robbers took out their guns and turned toward the kitchen door that was still open. Slowly they crept forward into the living room. They looked to the front door, now shut, and then to the rest of the room. When they finally got to the door they went to open the door and leave when they heard a voice come from the darkness up the stairway that was place almost right in front of the door.
Voice- I hope your just Santa with a helper and new uniforms. If your not your in for a long night.
First robber- Hey where are you?!! I have a gun and I?m not afraid to use it!
Second robber- Hey keep it down someone will hear your loud ass and call the police.
Voice- keep shouting and the police will come, but I?m allowed to be here. How bout you, are you allowed here? I only ask because you don?t look like your supposed to be.
The two men stood in silence and each was secretly debating in their head about how they are supposed to approach the situation. After a quick glance at each other they agreed to rush up the stairs and take this guy out before he talks to the police. However their attempt was foiled by each other. Shortly after they tried to lunge up stairs they stepped on each other and was outwitted by the narrow staircase. The man at the top of the stairs let out a laugh before he said anything else.
Voice- It appears that you guys will knock yourselves out before I have to do anything. Your fear makes you fumble around like a couple of idiots. I don?t care that you have guns. If you cant see me then you cant shoot me, so why should I be afraid of you?
The two men looked at each other once more and turned to go out the door. It appears that the man at the top of the stairs wasn?t going to do anything. Before they could touch the handle one of the men pointed the gun at the top of the stairs and fired a clip of shots into the darkness. After a minute of nothing a vase came flying out of the darkness and broke on one of the criminals head. Then the voice once again rose out of nowhere and broke the silent moment that was tormenting the only remaining burglar.
Voice- That was a mistake. Make another and you?ll both wake up in a jail cell next to your new best friend Bubba. So make your move and we can continue the game we are playing here.
Second robber- Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want with us?
Voice- Hmmm, those are the questions you would ask god not a man who is sitting at the top of some stairs, but if you want to know who I am then why don?t you use your flashlight?
The burglar looked down to his pocket where he kept his flashlight. He was surprised that he ad not thought of it earlier. He reached a shaking hand toward the metal tube and griped it with a sweaty hand. As he raised the flashlight up he clicked it on and the light moved up the stairs. When it finally reached the top there sat an empty chair with a sign on it that said ?BOO?. At the sight of this the burglar froze in place and stood making no noise other then the sound of his trembling breath. Then he heard the voice he had heard earlier except for this time it came from right beside him.
Voice- Do you like my sign? It was the best I could do on short notice. You should have left when you had the chance. One of my best friends lives here with his family and I came in for the holidays. He?s out eating dinner with them and I knew he would be gone so I decided to hang out until they got back. I was asleep. I believe the sound of breaking glass woke me. Now you will pay.
Second robber- Please don?t kill me I don?t want to die. I swear ill never steal again.
The burglar turned and faced the person who could probably kill him at any moment. We turned to face him as well and the identity turned out to be that of Valors own Pryme! Pryme was wearing a white t-shirt with some blue jeans he wasn?t wearing any shoes or socks. Pryme looked back at the man with ease. It looked as if had as much concern for this man as an old pair of socks. The burglar backed away from pryme and fell back onto the stair case. Pryme showed no effort to move, he just stared at the burglar and his companion. The burglar spoke to try to reason with Pryme.
Second robber- Hey man I?m sorry please. Im desperate to feed my kids. Its Christmas and these people looked like they had more than they needed. I am sorry please let us go, I swear neither of us will do anything like that again.
Pryme- Calm down I?m not going to kill you, even though it might have been deserved. I?m just going to test you. Whats your name?
Second robber- Test me? Well alright. My name is Larry and that is John. How are you going to test me?
Pryme- Simple I?m going to let you go.
Larry- Are you serious? Well alright.
The burglar bent down and picked up his friend by under the underarms. Pryme moved aside and let the men move towards the door but before they could leave Pryme offered the bag of goods to the burglars. They took the offer with joy thinking that they had found a new friend and turned to leave. Larry opened the door and found a gun pointed in his face.
Police officer- GET ON THE GROUND NOW!!!
Larry- Hey? what the hell you lied to me. You said you would let me go.
Pryme- I did, you took the bag and tried to go. To be honest I am the one to call the police. You never had a prayer of leaving without going through them or me.
Larry- How were you testing us then. I don?t understand.
Pryme- I offered the bag and you accepted, you failed. If you would have refused the bag you would have still been taken into custody but at least you would have had a clear conscience.
The two burglars were taken into custody and the police left with them. We turn from the street and look up into the second floor window and there stands Pryme looking out with darkness behind him. As he looks down we hear his voice.
Pryme- Cheaters don?t prosper. If you do something wrong, no matte what it is, it is going to catch up with you. This Thursday I?m not going to show any mercy and they will have their consequences. Have they dont anything to me? No they havent, but they did step into the ring with me and that?s enough to set me off.
Pryme moved back away from the window and into the darkness. We turn from the window and look into the moon which on this particular night is completely full. After a moment our sight fades to black.
First figure- why the hell did you bust open the damn cabinet? Now everyone around will know we are here. Why didn?t you just shoot a flare into the air you dummass.
