Kevin and Ryleigh got out the treehouse and ran to the neighbors house.

"There they goes! There they are!" Harry exclaims and gets up from the snowy floor.

"There they are!" Marv yelped.

"Hey, I'm callin' the cops." Ryleigh said, running to the Murphy's, holding Kevin's hand.

Harry looks to Marv and said. "Wait, wait wait, wait. He wants us to follow him. I got a better idea. Come on." They head him off.

Kevin and Ryleigh enter the Murphy's house through the basement, but unexpectedly it was flooded which was hard to walk through theu runs up the stairs only to be caught by the Wet Bandits which made Ryleigh gasp but didn't show any fear but anger was slowly building up in her, Kevin was scared though.

"Hiya, pal." Harry said. "We outsmarted ya this time. Get over here!" Marv closed the door and quickly grabbed Ryleigh and slammed her back against the door making her groan. Harry hangs Kevin from the coat hook on the back of the door. Marv and Ryleigh were glaring at each other intensely.

"What are we gonna do to them, Harry?" Marv questioned.

Marley sneaks up behind them while Harry says. "We'll do exactly what he did to us. I'm gonna burn his head with a blowtorch."

"We can smash the bitch's face with an iron!" Marv yelled holding her against the door and pushed her back then she saw Marley sneak up behind them in the corner of her eye.

"I'd like to slap them both right in the face with a paint can maybe." Harry said.

"Or shove a nail through her foot!" Marv yelled.

"First I'm gonna bite off every one of these little fingers, one at a time." Harry went to bite his fingers but Ryleigh fought against Marv's hold on her.

"Let him go!" Ryleigh growled but Marv pushed her back against the door making her wince in pain.

Marv laughs; Marley takes his shovel and whacks Marv, making him let Ryleigh go. Harry turns around and gets whacked in the face with the shovel.

Marley lifts Kevin off the hook. "Come on. Let's get you both home." Marley said. Old Man Marley carries Kevin and held Ryleigh back home. A few minutes later, the police arrive.

Kevin and Ryleigh watched from living room window. "Wow! This is great." Kevin said.

"Yeah, it is." Ryleigh said with a smile.

"Nice move. Always leaving the water running. Now we know each and every house that you've hit." The first cop said, holding Marv restrain.

"You know, we've been lookin' for you guys for a long time." The second cop said and led them to the cop car.

"Yeah. Now, remember, we're the "Wet Bandits." Wet Bandits, that's W-E-T..." Marv went to spell but Harry didn't like it.

"Shut up! Get in the car!' Harry said kicking Marv as Marv got in the back seat.

"Hey, come on. Come on." The first cop said.

Harry was being put in the car. "Hand off the head, pal!" Harry exclaims looking back at the officers.

"Come on." The second officer said putting Harry in the back, and closed the door.

Cops drive away. Harry looks back at Kevin and Ryleigh who sarcastically smiled and waved at him which he just glared at them.

Kevin puts a plate of cookies and carrots on the table along with a glass of milk. Ryleigh straightens a present under the tree, Ryleigh was sitting beside her brother and looked at the tree. "Merry Christmas, Kevin." Ryleigh said and pulled him into a side hug.

"Merry Christmas Ryleigh." Kevin said and Ryleigh kissed his head as she rubbed his arm.
