The Bang In the Night

I woke up to a bang and a flash coming from the hallway over by where the spare room is.

I turned on my side, annoyance written in solid words across my face, "NaaJe, you better hope that wasn't you." I was pretty sure it was my younger brother, NaaJe. NaaJe didn't answer, so I got out of my bed, slowly, so not to make a sound to let him know that I was coming to his room to figure out what he was doing.

What I saw when I peeked around the corner was a little weird. All of my brothers nerf guns that are normally piled up in his closet, were spread amongst his floor.

I snuck in to better investigate. Not a single nerf gun bullet was in sight, and the broken nerf gun bullets that were set on his dresser, were gone. I turned on the light, waking NaaJe in the process, and checked the whole room.

Nothing else was missing, but there was a note in the middle of the nerf gun pile that arose the occurrence that something was definitely wrong.

"Rilee? Is there something you need?" I had totally forgotten that NaaJe had woken up.

"... Uh... have you not looked at your room, and did you not here the bang from the hallway?" I was highly annoyed.

NaaJe then said the most intelligent thing I have ever heard him say... ever:

"If there was a sound in the hallway, why are you checking my room?"
