      A new night comes, everyone goes to bed. Even the Omarovs are getting ready for bed. Well, almost the whole family. Dennis, as usual, comes to his daughter's bedroom to kiss her goodbye and wish her good night. — Good night, Stephanie. When her father left the bedroom and closed the door, Stephanie opened her eyes, looked at the digital clock, which still showed ten o’clock, stood near the window, took out her tablet, and while she was waiting, she decided to watch her favorite animated series “The Amazing World of Gumball” on the Internet. The toys at this time in the Drayton house, teaming up with the cars and trains that Andrew had temporarily taken to them to help them, discussed their plans of action. Memorizing the plan until twelve o'clock at night, everyone remembered everything, how and when to act, after which everyone went to their places and hid. At this time, a police car first drove up on the street, and then a van of bandits drove up from the other side of the road. Stephanie, looking through the window every minute, noticed their cars, put the tablet aside and took out the video camera, starting to record the video. Jimbo got out of his car first and gave Marba and Barry each a machine gun. — It was a little difficult to ask for them, but I managed to convince the major to give them up for a very important special operation. Just don’t waste all your ammo at once! — Certainly. As you say. — the big man assured and the three of them went to the porch. First of all, Barry, like a polite guest, knocked on the door. — Hello! Is anyone home? — he asks, but there is complete silence and silence in the house. — We know that you are at home. Sorry we're so late! We have a very important conversation with you. Marb knocked next and said: — Open up! These are Jehovah's Witnesses. — What are you talking about? — pushed lazy Jimbo Marb on the shoulder. — What other Jehovah's Witnesses? — What do you think I should tell them, that we are bandits and came to rob them? — the big man answered the question with a question. — Wait, I’ll look through the dog door and take a look. — as Barry said, so he did. He poked his head through the doggy door and saw a toy figure of Silver in front of his face, standing in a lifeless position, holding his right hand over the button on his left hand, which had been transformed into a slingshot, which was loaded with a pin. — Hey, it looks like some kid lives in this house and decided to play a trick on us. — while Barry turned his gaze slightly to the side and said this, Silver lowered his hand to the button and launched the sharp end of the pin directly into the forehead of the bald bandit. He wanted to scream out in pain, but at the same time, trying to get up, he hit his head on the top of the door and the pain from above overpowered the sharp pain on his forehead, forcing him to only groan and get out. After that, Silver ran away and hid. — Who is it that is so into you? — asked Jimbo. — The same toy with some white cat who had a slingshot instead of one hand. She stood motionless and apparently shot herself. — Don't make this up, Barry. It's just a toy. They cannot be alive and do something themselves. — Marb began to argue with his partner. — Do you think I'm lying or what? — asked the thin man and took the pin from his forehead, almost screaming. — Let me climb in and take a look? — asked Marb and without waiting for an answer he poked his head through the dog door. But Silver’s toy was no longer there. Empty corridor. Then he got out and asked Barry: — Are you really taking me for an idiot? — I'm telling you for sure! When I looked inside, there was a white cat toy that shot at me on its own! — Barry said and pointed to the pin as proof. — There is nobody there! There's just an empty corridor! You most likely came across the pin while you were climbing there! — said Marb, believing that his partner was still kidding. — Me too, genius! — Stop it, both of you! — Jimbo is tired of these nagging. — I have no idea what you’re talking about, but let’s get this over with quickly! I'll be here, and you go to the back door and to the basement! After looking at each other and quietly muttering under their breath, the partners scattered in different directions. Marb walked around the house and began to climb the steps, when suddenly he slipped and fell on his stomach, hitting his chin on the step, and then slowly rolled down. — Oh! How slippery it is here! At this time, Barry walked around the house on the other side, noticed that the window was open and opened it slightly. First, he climbed inside with his head, torso and arms. I looked around the room and saw no one. The room was completely empty, although the lights in the room were on and everything was well tidied up. Even the floor was absolutely clean. When Barry fully climbed and stepped on the floor with his feet, at that moment there were already trains under his feet, which stood on the side of his feet and made him fall into a corner and lose his balance. When he fell, the engines went back under the sofa and hid. The bandit himself shook his head and asked himself out loud: — What was it? Meanwhile, Jimbo picked the lock on the main entrance door and went inside. Looking around, he rubbed his hands in anticipation. So many things that could be sold for a lot of money. At such moments, he even regretted that he could not rob with Barry and Marb, since he worked for the police. Throwing his thoughts aside, the officer decided to inspect the house and, entering one room, saw Barry sitting on the floor and looking at one point. — Why are you sitting down? Have you forgotten why we came here? — When I crawled in here, I immediately fell to the floor, for no reason. It was as if some unknown force made me fall. — answered the bandit. — Nonsense. You just weren’t looking where you were going, so you slipped out of the blue. — the captain replied, beginning to doubt Barry's mental abilities. — Where is your partner? — Don't know. I haven't seen Marb yet. He's been digging around for a long time. — said the skinny one. — Doesn't matter. If he misses all the fun, it will be his problem. Let's take a quick look around and get started already. Jimbo replies and loads his gun. She and Barry decide to leave this room. At this moment, the toys Mephiles, hiding under the tree and Infinite, hiding behind a soft chair, each held one end of the rope, which at first lay invisibly on the floor, but when the corrupt policeman and the bandit came too close to the exit from that room, they pulled the rope over themselves and the two tripped over the rope and then fell. Afterwards, Infinite let go of the rope, and Mephiles quickly pulled him towards himself and hid it, as if it were not there. Barry and Jimbo stood up and looked behind them to see what they had tripped over, but saw nothing. — There’s clearly something wrong with this house. — Jimbo suggested. — I hope there are no ghosts here? — the thin man suggested and, standing up first, helped the policeman to stand up, and he began to declare: — There are no ghosts, Barry. I thought you were smart and knew everything. — Yes. But ghosts belong to the paranormal, and paranormal phenomena can quite possibly occur in real life. Even scientists and theorists are still trying to prove this. Marb ate climbed to the second floor, holding onto the railing and began to pick the lock on the window to the attic. Having picked the lock and opened the window, the big man slowly, afraid of getting stuck in such a narrow window, slowly and carefully crawled inside. Outside at this time, Vector and Big covered the window with a black sheet and the attic became dark, because the light came into the attic from the window during the full moon. — I CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING!!! — he shouted and began to crawl forward at random. Feeling a low part of the floor under him, he decided that there was a hatch here and wanted to first step back so as not to fall, but from below at that time Cream pulled a thread that was tied to the latch that kept the hatch to the attic closed and the hatch immediately opened, after whereupon the big man fell out and fell straight on his back. Barry and Jimbo heard him fall from below. — MARB, IS THAT YOU??? — Barry shouted. Silver, hiding in the kitchen, fired a stone from his slingshot directly at the bald man’s head, and he, feeling a blow on the back of his head, turned to Jimbo. — HEY!!! WHAT ARE YOU THINGING AT ME??? — I didn’t throw anything! — the corrupt officer made excuses. — Then what hit the back of my head?! — I have no idea what hit the back of your head, but I know exactly what will hit you in the face if you don’t start doing your job right now!” Jimbo was already starting to lose his temper. — Better get down to business and go check what that noise was! Without answering, Barry silently walked up the stairs to the second floor. Looking around, he noticed the stairs to the open attic and Marb lying on the floor. — Marb, what happened?! — I climbed into the attic, but it was too dark, so I crawled at random and didn’t notice how I fell into an open hatch. — the big man answered and stood up with difficulty. — Is it dark in the attic? But it’s a full moon outside today. — Barry said and pointed to the moonlight that was visible on the floor. — Full moon? But why didn't I see anything in the attic? — Marb asked, not understanding how this was possible. — Perhaps the clouds covered the moon. Okay, let's see what we can find on this floor — said the brain of the gang and the partners split up. Marb went into the room, which turned out to be a child's room, and Barry went into his parents' bedroom. When Barry entered the bedroom, Shadow, who was hiding under the bed, pointed the remote control at the TV next to the bed and pressed the red button to turn it on. Barry did not expect that the TV would turn on by itself when he entered the bedroom, and suddenly on TV they showed a creepy face and a scream at maximum volume, and Barry jumped on the spot, screamed at the top of his lungs and stood up on the bed with his feet. At this time, Shadow quickly lowered the volume and turned off the channel, after which he threw the remote control outside and took out another remote control from the DVD, quickly tuning it to another program. His partner immediately ran into the bedroom. — Why are you yelling like that? Did you see a ghost? — No, the TV turned on by itself and such a terrible screamer scared me. — the thin man explained. The big man noticed a remote control on the floor and used it to turn on the TV, but the TV was already showing a video of the 2024 football championship between Russia and the USA at normal volume. Then he looked at his partner incredulously. — It turned on itself and a terrible monster’s face screamed at me from there.” when I first came here. Honestly! — Then Shadow turned off the DVD using the remote control, and at that time Sonic unplugged the plug from the socket, turning off the TV. — Did you turn off the TV? — No. — the partner answers and, pressing the red button, tries to turn it on again. — Maybe it overheated and broke due to your scream? At this time, Jimbo only went to the kitchen, and Metal Sonic and Blaze, who were holding a jar of nails on the ropes above the cupboard, were preparing to throw it down. When the corrupt cop walked in, they released the can and it flew straight at Jimbo, hitting him on the nose and pushing him back. Having come to his senses, he rolled inside somersault, took out a pistol and, aiming it somewhere upward, shouted: — DROP YOUR WEAPONS!!! But there was no one there. Except that there was something purple glowing on the shelf. Out of curiosity, he decided to get from there what was shining. Taking a chair and standing on it, he climbs up and tries to reach it. And at this time Blaze and Metal took out a mousetrap and slipped it under Jimbo’s fingers. Grab and the policeman lost his balance and fell from his chair, screaming in pain and trying to remove the mousetrap from his hand. Blaze and Metal, while he was distracted by his hand, went down the thread and hid. — Is this some kind of joke or something? — he asked it’s not clear to whom, and at that time Silver, who was hiding in a box with a trash can, shot a stone from his slingshot and hid inside again. The stone hit the officer sharply on the head. — AH!!! CRAP!!! — Suddenly, Jimbo heard the water and music turn on somewhere in the bathroom, and then someone started singing. — Yeah! Here you are, you bully! — he said sarcastically, taking out a machine gun, stood up and slowly began to sneak from the kitchen to the bathroom, walking straight towards the sound. Little did he know that there was actually a mannequin in the bathroom, which Maria, Eggman, Gerald, Deko, Boko and Bokkun were pulling by the strings, creating the illusion that it was the owner of the house washing his hair in the shower. The curtains were so dark that only the shadow of the mannequin could be seen through them, despite the fact that the light was on in the bathroom. And the singing and music sounded through a tape recorder, which was hidden behind the washing machine and Espio stood next to it. Jimbo slowly walked into the bathroom and saw some guy taking a shower. When the singing ended and it was time for swearing, the toys turned the mannequin to the side and began to depict him waving his arms like a fist. From the tape recorder at that time came: — GET OUT OF HERE, YOU CURIOUS LITTLE PERVERT, OR I WILL SPAN YOU!!! — It is unlikely. — Jimbo grinned. He took out a machine gun, took aim and, with a heart-rending scream, opened fire, trying to kill the guy in the shower. When he finished shooting, the toys began to slowly lower the dummy, and Eggman began to make sounds of grunting and groaning, as if the guy was really falling dead from the bullets. Then they suddenly release the threads and the mannequin falls completely into the bathtub. By that time, Espio had turned off the tape recorder, and Jimbo ran from the bathroom to warn the bandits about who he had killed. At this time, the toys took out the entire moniker, took it out of the bathroom and hid with it under the washing machine, wiping off their wet marks with a rag along the way. — FOUND!!! I FOUND THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE!!! HE'S IN THE BATHROOM!!! — Jimbo shouted. — FOUND??? — the bandits cried out at the same time, not believing their ears, and ran from their parents’ bedroom. Barry was the first to run down the steps, and when Marb was about to go down after him, Crimea immediately jumped out under him and lay under his leg, from which he, without having time to notice her, lost his balance and, falling, rolled down the steps, grabbing his partner with him and rolling down with it in the form of a ball. Jimbo, unfortunately, also did not notice the toy rabbit, who stood at the bandit’s feet and decided that it was his own fault for not looking at his feet and hitting himself on the forehead with his palm. At this time Cream stood up and ran to David's bedroom. — You idiots, why are you falling? — the officer swore. — I did not mean to. I carefully tried to go down so as not to trip over something, but suddenly I stepped on something soft, could not resist and fell. — Marb admitted, and his partner, who stood up first, slapped him on the head and said: — Right now I’m going to fall again and you won’t get up again. — It's stop to swear! I found the one who is bullying you in the house. Let's go! — Jimbo called them into the bathroom and, putting away the clothes, pointed his palm at the bathroom itself. However, there was no corpse there. Only water flowed out from under the shower for some reason, as if the owners forgot to turn off the water when they left. Marb closed the tap to turn off the water from the shower and, together with Barry, looked at him very gloomily and incredulously. - What? Why are you looking at me like I'm a fool? - When Jimbo noticed that there was no one in the bathroom, he was stunned to an incredible degree. He couldn't understand. — "Like this? I remember very well that a minute ago the owner of the house was here, washing himself and even singing. I didn’t imagine it at all.” — Do you really take us for idiots? — Marb snapped. — I'm telling you for sure! A man just washed himself here! Do you think the shower turned on by itself?! — Jimbo asked, not understanding how this was possible. — I don’t know who you saw there, but if it really wasn’t true, then you’ll be in trouble! — Marb thought that the policeman was playing a prank on them, believing that they were complete idiots. — Don’t forget that we may stop sharing our spoils with you and you will again have to think about how to live on your salary! Jimbo's indignation knew no bounds! These two dare to set conditions for him?! But he is also not a timid person. — NOW LISTEN, BOTH OF YOU! DON'T FORGET THAT IT'S ONLY THANKS TO ME THAT NO ONE HAS CAUGHT YOU YET! IF SOMETHING IS NOT SATISFIED WITH ME, I CAN EASILY GIVE YOU UP AND TURN THE WHOLE SITUATION TO MY FAVOR! FOR CAPTURE OF YOU TWO, I WILL BE GIVEN A GOOD BONUS AND WILL BE PROMOTED, AND YOU WILL BE SIT IN PRISON ALL YOUR LIFE!!! DO AS I TELL YOU AND YOU WILL BE FREE FOR A LONGER TIME!!! While they were arguing in the bathroom, the toys began the penultimate part of the plan. They took a flashlight, turned it on and pointed the light directly at the exit. At this time, Manic and Blaze used the winding key to start Omega from the back so that he would automatically walk straight, even if he was suddenly noticed. And standing nearby were Silver, holding a large iron cardboard, and Charmy and Rouge, who were holding a large hammer from tools and began to hit the cardboard with it, creating the sound effect of metal hitting the floor. Blaze and Manic had already managed to get Omega by that time. — All! Let's go! - said the cat, taking out the key and Omega, as befits a wind-up toy robot, slowly walked towards the exit from the house. As he took each step, Charmy and Rouge hit the cardboard with a hammer, and Omega turned to the side and walked, approaching almost the light of the lantern. — What's happened? What are those sounds? — asked Barry. The officer and the bandits came out of the bathroom and saw light coming from another room, and then a large shadow of a robot appeared in the light. — They also keep a huge robot at home? — Marb was scared, but at the same time he was surprised to the point of joy. Omega left the glow zone and his huge shadow disappeared from sight. Silver began to approach the exit of the room with cardboard in his hands, and Rouge and Charmy continued to knock on the cardboard and follow him, creating the feeling that this huge robot was walking straight towards them. Sonya, Manic and the Eater took out a megaphone and at the same time began to speak the same phrase into it in unison, creating the effect of a robotic scary voice: — Strangers were found in the house. Exercise. Find strangers and destroy them. Terminated. Terminated... — I'm not afraid of you, stupid piece of iron! — Marb dared to go out to fight with a pistol, but Barry stopped him: — Are you crazy? He's ro-o-o-o-o-ot. You can’t kill him with bullets, and if you try to hit his iron armor with your fist, you’ll only break the bones of your arm. And does not matter. Are you physically strong or not? — What should we do? — the big man didn’t understand, but judging by the sound, the robot was already too close and was about to come out to them. — What to do?... RUN!!! — Jimbo shouted and, together with his partners, ran up the stairs, hiding in David’s room. Locking the door behind me. Inside, they caught their breath and trembled a little, worried that the robot would know where they had run away so that it would not find them. While taking slow steps back, they simultaneously accidentally stepped on the toy cars, which deliberately stood under them and caused them to fall on their backs. — What kind of boy are they? Why is he such a slob and throws toys everywhere? — Barry was indignant, having already forgotten about the supposedly huge robot that was following them. At this time, Gerald, who was hiding under the bed behind a pair of cubes, through a piece of paper folded into a circle, like a megaphone, began to make ghostly sounds in a scary voice from “U-oo-oo” to “Gra-a-a-ah.” The officer and the bandits heard these sounds and did not understand who was making these sounds. Jimbo looked under the bed because the sounds were coming from there, but there were only blocks, Lego constructs and a couple of dumbbells. But no one was hiding under the bed. — Who is speaking? — he asked and Gerald began to answer in a terrible voice: — I-I-I'm chewing a duck-and-a-brownie... The guardian of this do-o-oma-a-a... Get out of here-a-a... Or else eat -e-e... — Nonsense! Brownies are little good spirits that cannot eat a person! Better tell the truth who you are and I advise you to show yourself before I open fire! — said the officer and prepared a machine gun to shoot at the joker at the right moment. — Ha ha ha. Made me laugh. Well, show me what you can do!? — Gerald provoked Jimbo to do so. He did so and opened fire, shooting directly under the bed, without really seeing anyone. He was able to hit one of the Cubans with a bullet and throw it away, but he didn’t wound anyone there, and Gerald then laughed. — Ho-ho-ho. Is this all you can do? Meanwhile, Silver, Rouge and Charmy went up to the second floor, stood near the closed door to David’s room and continued knocking, imitating robot steps. The bandits immediately heard them. — Oh no! He's coming here! - Marb panicked and, looking around, came up with nothing but to escape from the house by jumping out of the window. — Through the window! — Are you crazy? — asked Barry. — Barry, we have no other choice. — Jimbo straightened his brains out and first the big man climbed through the window and fell out into the street, and after him Barry and Jimbo jumped out, falling right on Marba’s stomach. — You crushed my belly! — he groaned. At that moment, the house was surrounded by six police cars from which policemen ran out with pistols and, pointing their pistols, shouted to the three: — EVERYONE DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS FOR... Officer?... Jimbo looked up to see what was happening. Unfortunately for him, in front of the three of them were his colleagues from the station. Several sergeants, several lieutenants, several captains, but the corrupt policeman noticed a major among them. The same major with whom he spoke a couple of hours ago and who was his superior. The man feverishly began to think about how he could get out. — Comrade captain, will you bother to explain what all this means?! — asked the major, standing right in front of him. — This is all part of the operation, Comrade Major! These two men are the same bandits engaged in robberies in Krasnogurbinsk! I managed to gain their trust and stop them at the last moment! — Jimbo reported, hoping that this would save his skin and no one would find out anything. — What are you hanging?! Do you want to put us in prison and save your own butt?! — Barry was indignant, quickly realizing that they were going to set him up with Marb. — Quiet! — the major shouted, forcing everyone to shut up, and then turned to his subordinates. — Guys, get the handcuffs. We'll take them to the station, and then we'll figure out what happened. After exchanging glances among themselves, the officers silently handcuffed all three and led them to police cars. — WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IDIOTS?! GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM ME! — Jimbo yelled at the sergeant and lieutenant who were leading him to the transport. Having seated him and the two bandits in a police car, a couple of policemen went inside the house and examined it. — No one at home. All things and furniture are in place. They didn't really have time to steal anything. — said the lieutenant and thought about it himself, looking at the sky. — Strange. — Maybe they were looking for something more valuable? — suggested the sergeant. — Okay, let's go! — the major orders. — We'll sort it out at the station. Not forgetting to close the door to the house behind them, the police cars left the area of the house. By that time, Stephanie had finished recording the video on the camera and, raising her fist, said in a joyful whisper: — Yes. — HURRAY!!! BOTH FOOD!!! — the toys were screaming in the Drayton house at that time.
