"Don't be an idiot!" Jessie delivered a swift smack to the back of James' head. "You're the one who spent all our money on your stupid bottlecaps!"

Still, the place was pretty creepy. But cash was cash, and when else would they get an opportunity like this? Besides, maybe they could steal something valuable while they were in the mansion. Big mansions always had valuable stuff in them.

"... You first!" Jessie pulled James in front of her and began to push him towards the door.

James allowed himself to be pushed, making a whining noise akin to that of a kicked dog the whole way. Still, between a creepy mansion and an angry Jessie, he'd take the creepy mansion any day.

When they reached the door, he rang the doorbell, then flinched back as though someone would pop out and attack him. When nothing did, and no one appeared for a few minutes, he tentatively tried the handle.

"Hmm? It's unlocked."

"Must be expecting us." Jessie shoved the door open with a loud creak and peered inside. "Helloooo?"

No answer.

She shuddered but quickly repressed the nervous feeling. One of the two had to be the sensible one.

"Well? Let's go in, then!" Jessie pushed James again, this time right through the doorway and into the mansion.

"Whoa-oh! Eeeee!"

James stumbled in from Jessie's push, arms wheeling keep from falling. He caught his balance and looked around, noting that it actually looked... pretty normal.

"Hey, it's not so bad in here. You were right Jess, they must have been expecting us!"

He walked in more confidently, looking around the foyer. It's got a tile floor, a stair case going up, and opens into a stuffy looking parlor and a bleak dining room.

"This place kind of reminds me of home!" James remarked cheerily, before cupping a hand to his mouth. "Hello, anybody home? We've come about the job!"
