THE BAD GUYS: a very bad holiday

Chapter 8: failed present delivery

Meanwhile, back across town, Wolf and Snake were ready to put the next part of their plan in action.

They stood in front of a house, getaway car waiting patiently nearby, stuffed full of gifts they needed to distribute.

"This should be a breeze," Wolf said to Snake, as he gestured to the first house on their hit list.

They were each holding a gift at the ready. "All you have to do is break into the house and leave a gift."

"Isn't that like breaking the law" princess asked.

"It is princess but what we're doing princess is breaking in for the better good"

Snake hissed. He still did not like this piece of the plan. He was a taker, not a giver. But he'd do what he had to do to support their ultimate mission.

"Fine. Let's get this over with" Wolf watched as Snake slipped behind the house gift in his hands.

Snake muttered, "Welp, I definitely did it. We can go now."

Wolf eyed his buddy, who had a very boxlike lung stuffed into the center of his body.

"What?" Snake said, glaring back at him. "You never seen an ab before?"

"Cough it up," Wolf said, gesturing to the box hidden inside Snake's belly.

"Like always snake would try to jeopardized the plan" wolf glances at snake, he shrugs and princess laughs.

"What?"

Snake grumbled as he hacked up the gift. "And the vase he'd taken from the house while he was inside"

"Snake!" Princess scold him.

"What? what's the point of breaking in if you're not gonna steal anything"

"The point of breaking in is to gift people gifts so we could continue the heist-tacular" wolf says.

Wolf shook his head. "Gimme a break," Snake muttered.

"Giving, not taking, is unnatural."

With a sigh, Wolf said, "I'll do it. Watch and learn." He strolled confidently toward the house, returning mere moments later.

"See?" he said, shrugging. "Piece of cake."

"Well at least I wasn't the only one trying to steal" snake glances at wolf.

"What is he talking about wolf?" Princess asked.

"Well you see princess"

Snake nodded at something behind Wolf's back.
"So, what's that, then?"

Moments later, Snake was already back-without the "What's what?" Wolf asked, in his most innocent-sounding voice.

Snake pointed to the present, which was hidden carefully behind Wolf's snazzy suitcoat.

Wolf pulled the gift out from behind his back and looked at it, acting surprised that he hadn't actually completed his mission.

This fake-Santa business was a whole lot harder than it looked!

"Wolf!" Princess scolded at him now.
