"We are going to be playing cat burglar. What we're going to do is pretend to break into my house, as quietly as we can. My parents will play, too. What you have to do is not get caught, okay? When we're inside of the house, only you will be able to see what our goal is. It could be anything; a rug, a doll, a sofa.. it could even be a light bulb. When you see something that glows a sort of red or orange, I need you to tell me because that will be where what we'll be pretending to break into to steal from will be. This is a really old game, but it's still good because the treasure is is always different." The parents that Pat had mentioned was a couple, a couple who had just bought their first new home and had moved in today, unaware that anything was wrong. Most of the boxes had been opened, though things were mostly scattered about for the time being. "Come on, Ethan. Let's go." Pat urged, and he turned and walked over through the door. It was locked, but a simple flick from Pat fixed that with a click, allowing Ethan entry. There were some things that only a child could see; and Pat, of course, was not really a child.
