Emily Berns perked up her ears, listening intently to the sounds outside. On this silent night, the noises were growing clearer and clearer. Emily was already certain there were burglars inside, and it was not one but two people. Their audacity was astonishing—not only were they rummaging through things, but they were also talking aloud.
"Boss, go easy. Don't wake up the people here."
"What's to worry about? I've already looked into this. There's only one woman living in this house. If she doesn't wake up, fine. If she does, we'll have some fun with her."
"There's a car parked downstairs, so she must be home. But boss, we're just burglars. If we commit rape, the charges will be much worse."
