"You're insane." I hissed, glancing fervently at the huge house Tory wanted to break into. "Like, seriously insane."
"That's the freaking Claybourne Manor, Tory!" Hi joined in, face red with the effort if not running away. Hell, i'd only be a step behind him. "Do you know what Chance would do if he found you in there?! You'd be hung, drawn and quartered for sure!"
