The Reginald Mansion Burglary

Wilfred Pebble, DeSaad Pepper, Alfred Lennie and Jasper Scunthorpe were having a quite night in but were bored. So, they discovered that one of Thornton's enemies, Robin Reginald, owned an immense, golden mansion (in south east Bath) so they decided to have a bit of fun with the man.

That night on September 11th 2021 everything was still and Mr. Reginald was drinking a bowl of fresh, lukewarm tomato soup when the lights flickered on outside. Jasper Scunthorpe and DeSaad Pepper stood still. All you could hear was the sound of their slow, heavy breathing. In the background played Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto whilst the duo silently (like statues) watched if Mr. Reginald would react.

He didn't, which made the duo give a heavy sigh of relief. DeSaad sneaked towards the door with the stealth of a perky praying mantis and and with one tremendous kick, he slammed the door so hard it was nearly thrown off its hinges. Mr. Reginald looked up in shock at the intruder but DeSaad, with the stealth of a ninja, moved to the safety of a kitchen counter. Mr. Reginald cautiously walked towards the door to try and catch the interloper but DeSaad was ready to take him out...

BAM!

With one lyrical blow to the jaw, DeSaad had sent Mr. Reginald to dreamland. Jasper sauntered into the room. The two men looked at each other and nodded. It was time for phase two of the operation.

Mr. Reginald's nearly glamorous wife (Jemimah Reginald) walked with the elegance of a drunken hippo down the stairs. Rapidly, Jasper and DeSaad hid behind a pristine, witty white couch. In a moment of quick thinking, Jasper leaped from behind the couch to Mr. Reginald's drunken wife leading Jasper to perform a quick solo of Por Ti Volare. Jemimah was so stunned that she fainted and fell to the floor with a tremendous thunk. DeSaad got up from the couch while Jasper surveyed the area through his pepper themed binoculars that had been given to him as a gift by a certain Montgomery Thornton.

DeSaad began a slow, steady ascent up towards the bedroom of Mr. Reginald. Jasper followed him whilst guarding his back. As the devilishly daring duo ascended, Mr. Reginald awoke and pulled out his 1977 revolver from his dressing gown pocket. He saw his wife on the floor and muttered an inaudible curse. He turned around from the kitchen counter and stealthily slithered over to where Jasper and DeSaad were pulling out the mysterious suitcase from beneath his bed. They began to descend downstairs when they heard a heart stopping click.

The duo's blood ran cold. They slowly turned around to look upon the mighty despair before them. Mr. Reginald had his revolver and it was covering both of them. He motioned for them to put their hands behind their head. All the possible hope had died from the dazed duo's eyes. In a slow, but audible, crescendo a feint buzzing began to call. Mr. Reginald glanced for a nanosecond. DeSaad let loose a flying tornado kick and knocked the gun out of Mr. Reginald's hands. Mr. Reginald looked dizzy as Jasper motioned for DeSaad to drop the suitcase on top of the limp locust beneath them. They dropped it which gave a resounding crunch and the delightful duo grinned at one another.

Meanwhile, Wilfred pebble and Alfred Lennie (who were armed with Jasper's specialised MP5 and a small sidearm pistol in case things got dirty) were patiently waiting outside in the getaway vehicle. They had been playing uno for a few minutes now until they saw Jasper and DeSaad dragging the suitcase towards them, sweating profusely. While Wilfred covered them Alfred ran to assist the men and they hurled the suitcase into the boot of the car. Jemimah Reginald had appeared to regain consciousness and was angrily staggering over towards them. In no time at all the terrific trio got in the car and the entire gang drove off into the morning haze.

Alfred Lennie and DeSaad returned to work after the events but Wilfred and Jasper were apparently seen boarding a plane to the alps. Mr. Reginald tried to have them arrested but forgot that Wilfred was a lawyer and had made a friendship with Mark Wilkes. When Jasper had at long last returned to work he (and Alfred) were rewarded for breaking into one of the most infamous (but quite weak) enemies of Thornton Stationery Company with a massive disko in the offices. Cecil Longstaff sprayed rum onto their bellies.
