It was a cold, dark night, not even a soul wandering around, not even the slightest of the sounds could be heard, but Adam needed to do his part of the robbery for the day, or how would he get his daily bread?

It was quite weird how every house Adam had ever entered, it had some kind of commotion, some couple fighting, some kid crying, but there was a house at the very end of the neighborhood, nothing went on in there, Adam was a...well...organized robber, he went to every house of the neighborhood and made sure nothing was left behind.
He entered the house, he felt eerie, he probably thought the owner must've gone out for a while, it was dark. Adam had to use his instincts.
The lights turned on, Adam's spine shook, he had never encountered anyone in the middle of his robbery.
"Who are you? If I may ask?" A man standing in the shadows of the house asked Adam.
"A robber, and I've got a gun." Answered Adam.
"Well, that's quite the turn I must say" replied the man.
"Who are you?! What's your name? I must know everything from you as well?" Asked Adam.
"Why should I reply you though?" Asked the man.
"Hey! A question should be answered with an answer" said Adam.
"I'm Mist, was a banker, i've lived long enough, I'm glad I finally met someone after a long time." Answered mist.
Adam had his gun pointed towards mist, he simultaneously started putting everything in his bag, a watch, a wallet, some things that probably seemed like he could use for himself.
"Uhm, If I may ask, it's quite unusual for a robber to wear everything black, every robber I've seen wears a long coat, slack pants, leather shoes and has a revolver pointed. But you're using a gun I've never seen before" said Mist.
"Hey, no back-chat, this isn't your 80s that I should rob according to your convenience" answered Adam.
"And give me your phone, and every device you have" ordered Adam.
"I don't have one, but I've heard it's really good" answered Mist.
Adam felt peculiar with this one robbery, he was robbing a man who didn't even have a phone, lived alone, in this one dark house, Most wore a long coat, a fedora and long jeans.
He felt like he had entered a 70s sitcom.
Adam turned around to search for anything else, that's when he heard a loud bang, whistles, and sirens. He got nervous and jumped out of the window, and tried to run.
"We've got you now." Said the Police, tackling him and arresting him.
"You know, you should have shame robbing a dead man's preserved house." Said the chief.
"What're y'all talking about? He's alive, he talked to me, he was quite peculiar though." Answered Adam.
Everyone laughed, except Adam.
"Right, a man who died in the 70s, whose house has been preserved by his granddaughter, although we shouldn't laugh, he was a man who was quite serious, well he was on the run though" said the chief.
"W-why? Why was he on the run?" Asked Adam nervously.
"He murdered seven people and open fired on innocent citizens" answered the chief.
