The cat runs across the street and jumps up on a fence. While you and Richard distract it, Nicole grabs it from behind.
The three of you take the meowing cat back to the house. Richard rings the doorbell. This time, a man answers. "Yes?"
Nicole hands him the cat. "We rescued your cat."
The man is unimpressed. "This is not my cat." Then he notices the firewood on his lawn and the garbage can next to his door. "Did you kids throw all that junk in our yard?"
Nicole puts the cat down, confused. "Yes, but we'll clean it up."
"You better." The man gives you rakes.
You and Richard start raking leaves, but Nicole doesn't understand. "We didn't put the leaves on your lawn."
The man laughs. "I know. Shut up and start raking."
Your Halloween is ruined.
THE END
