No Time Like the Present

Drive. Gates. Barn. Another car. Home.

Sometimes my life felt like one big merry-go-round, one I could get off if I wasn't so damn paranoid because everyone was out to get me. Never mind, I was here now, safe in the comfort of my own home.

"Where the hell have you been?" screeched Vicky as I stepped into my kitchen, no longer an oasis of tranquility.

"What have you done to my kitchen?" I screeched back, aghast at the carnage. Spilled coffee, knives left out, containers coated in sticky substances, tea towels were off center where they hung over the counter, and there was even a drawer partially open.

"Arthur, you have serious issues, you do know that, right?"

"I do not. You made a mess. You should clean up after yourself. I put the knife in the dishwasher, brushed away the crumbs, wiped the drip of coffee, and straightened the tea towel. Then I could think.

"Now, you were telling me off for something?" I said as I turned.

"Where were you? I finished ages ago. I thought we were going to make a plan."

"We were. We are. I've only been a few hours. What's up?"

"What's up is I worried you'd be out all night. You didn't answer your phone. I didn't know where you were or if you were okay."

"I turned it off. Took the sim out."

"Idiot."

"Am not."

It went on like that for a while until Vicky had finished with her insults and I was no longer listening.

"So, you ready then?" I asked.

"For what?"

"To go steal a cauldron from a witch."

"What, now? Tonight?"

"Yes, now. Yes, tonight," I snapped. "What's wrong with you?"

"I thought we were going to go over the plans properly. I haven't told you about the security system, how we can get in, any of it."

"Let me guess. It's all taken care of. You can disable the sensors, get me to the room no problem, and then we'll have to get creative. You think you might be able to gain access to the room, but you have a sneaking suspicion that there's something you're missing, that they've put in something else that you can't find remotely and there's no other way but to just get there and see what's what?"

"You... How...? Then why...? Arthur, you're so mean sometimes." Vicky's bottom lip wobbled and I thought fast to ward off any tears.

"I'm sure you've done an amazing job. It's what you do best. But you know what witches are like."

"No, not really."

"Neither do I, actually. Come on, let's get our stuff together and then we'll go."

"But this is so sudden."

"Vicky, my moaning minion, you know this is how I work. No point putting it off if we're going to do this. It may as well be now. You know that as soon as a job gets requested it's only a matter of time before everyone hears about it. People talk, rumors spread, the marks get nervous or suspicious, so let's do this now and be done with it."

"Fine, but I need a wee first, and to check on the girls.
