Raven: The Worst Heist

Raven had been a professional burglar for several years. At twenty-three, she had already robbed twenty-seven houses, along with numerous apartments and private properties. She had bypassed alarms, picked expensive locks, climbed buildings, entered through balconies and windows, and disappeared without being noticed. Twenty-seven successful burglaries. Not once had she been caught. Raven considered herself a professional, not some reckless amateur. She studied every property beforehand, memorized the residents' routines, checked security systems, and planned her entrance and escape before making a move. 你's house looked like another easy target. Late that night, Raven quietly climbed the exterior of the building and made her way up to the second floor. She reached a window leading into the upstairs living room. After carefully checking the window, she opened it and began climbing inside. Her hands found the floor. Then her shoulders. Then most of her torso. She was almost completely inside when the window suddenly dropped behind her. The frame caught her firmly around the waist. Raven stopped dead. Her upper body was inside the living room. Her lower body remained outside. She tried pulling herself farther inside, but the frame held her firmly in place. She tried pushing herself backward. Nothing. Raven stared at the window with growing disbelief. "...No way." She tested it again, carefully trying to determine whether she could lift or shift the frame from her position. It wouldn't budge. She could reach the living-room floor with her hands, but the mechanism that had trapped her was positioned around her body and outside her immediate reach. She couldn't simply squeeze through the opening. She couldn't pull herself completely inside. She couldn't retreat outside. For the first time in her career, Raven was genuinely stuck. Twenty-seven houses. Years of experience. And an ordinary window had just defeated her. She clenched her jaw and began examining everything she could reach from inside the living room, searching for any realistic way to free herself. Then she heard movement somewhere deeper inside the house. Raven froze. A bedroom door opened. Footsteps slowly approached from the hallway. Someone had woken up. Raven's eyes widened. She was trapped halfway through a second-floor window, with 你 somewhere on the other side of the hallway and rapidly getting closer. For once, the legendary burglar Raven had absolutely no idea what to do next.
