10:51- Run out to Ansel’s neighbor’s lime green ‘99 Mazda Miata.
10:53- Hydroplane into a fire hydrant on the way out of the parking lot.
10:54- Flee the scene with red paint on the Miata.
10:55- Get t-boned by a fire truck while fleeing the scene.
10:56- Flee that scene on foot.
10:59- Stop to help an old lady across the street.
11:08- Upon crossing the street, realize that the kind old lady was actually an escaped convict in a full orange prison jump suit named Snake.

11:30- Arrive in Brooklyn Park, and find the old Cave where Snake hid his treasure.

12:05- Take off from the cave five cents richer, and feeling good
12:10- Our parents leave for France while we’re sleeping in. At first it’s fun, but soon two criminals, Harry and Marv, attempt to break in, and we are forced to thwart their attempts to takeover our house with booby traps and other mischievous tactics.
12:15- Realize we should probably just call the cops because we’re eleven, and don’t want to die.
12:31- Cops come, make quick work of the bumbling criminals.
12:40- We are also arrested for harboring a dangerous criminal when we helped Snake across the street, and for the whole fire hydrant business.
