Tabitha walked out the house with Rookie in her arms as, Andrew came out of his room, in his Royal blue winter attire, walked out first. He's wearing his Royal blue winter coat with match fur boots and winter hat with horns, a cyan blue colored scared with matching gloves. "We're following him right?" He asked looking at his older sister.

She puts Rookie down and let out barks. "Oh, Yeah" Tabitha nodded.

Andrew ran off, followed Tabitha and Rookie, all running.

The brother, sister and puppy were in town, they ran behind a grocery store and hid behind a car across the street from it. Andrew turned on the camera and face it towards the door. Moments later, Mason and his friends walked out of the store and into an alleyway next to the deli. Tabitha and Andrew grabbed hands as both siblings carefully looked at the road and crossed it. Rookie was trotting next to Tabitha, enjoying the cold breeze. They went into the alleyway and at a fenced gate. And there, before their very eyes, was Mason stealing a car. Mason got in the drivers seat and they drove away. Andrew and Tabitha stared with shocked looks on their faces.

Their brother was a Car Thief.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two siblings went back home after walking Rookie around the plaza to not be suspicious.

At night time, Mason arrived back at his house, taking off his coat, and went upstairs and opened the door, surprised to see his younger siblings in his room. Tabitha sat on the edge of his bed, Rookie next to her, Andrew sat on his desk chair and propped his legs on the desk.

"Have a good time with your friends?" Andrew asked him.

"Get out of my room. Both of you. You're not allowed in here"

"And you're not allowed to steal cars from the deli parking lot" Tabitha said back.

Mason chuckled nervously. "What? I didn't steal a car"

"We saw the whole thing " Tabitha crossed her arms at him.

"Can't prove it" Mason shrugged and smiled.

Andrew held up the small cassette tape from his camera. "Wanna bet?".

Mason's face turned cold. "Give me that"

"When mom sees this, she's gonna freak out!" Andrew as he backed away. "She's so sick of your crap, I bet she turns you into the cops herself."

"Gimme that tape, you little creeps!"

He ran towards Andrew first before he missed and almost grabbed him. "You're so dead!" Mason yelled.

"And your so busted!" Andrew yelled back.

"Rookie!" Tabitha yelled for her attention. She jumped from the bed and ran out as Mason nearly tripped over her.

"Ugh, Rookie!" Mason shouts.

Tabitha and Andrew were about to go down the stairwell when Tabitha heard Andrew "Tabitha, catch!" Andrew threw the tape. Tabitha caught the tape and ran into the living room. Mason ran down the stairs and in front of her. Rookie was running down the stairs, running after them.

"Come on Tabitha, just give me the tape and nothing is going to happen" Mason extended his hand towards his sister. Tabitha looks up at her brother like she was going to give in, she saw him have hope in his eyes.

"Sorry, Mason" Tabitha said before she ran around him and gave it to Andrew, Mason grabbed her waist, he ran near the Christmas tree as the he fought to get it.

"Your such a jerk!" Andrew shoved Mason into the tree, where he fell and so did the tree. As it knocked over the family picture as the glass shattered on the floor. The crash of the tree made Tabitha fall back as she stumbled and bumped into a shelf and knocked over two snow globs as they shattered, fell to the ground.
