The heist

That night, when the farm was completely quiet, Pipper used his skills to sneak into the kitchen and storeroom. They ate first, then carefully chose what to take. "Make sure we have enough," Pipper whispered to Julia. Suddenly, the door to the storeroom opened, revealing the large, burly farmer. "What's this?" the farmer shouted. Julia squeezed past him as the farmer tried to grab her. As he turned, Pipper swiftly swept his legs out from under him and, in one fluid motion, planted an elbow on his chin. The big farmer went down like a sack of potatoes. Pipper didn't hesitate; he grabbed some of the selected supplies and leapt over the farmer, who was already starting to get up again.
