"There'll be the janitor to dispose of," suggested Mike.
"Leave him to me. I'll knock him on the head."
"Don't kill him if you can help it, Bill. Murder has an ugly look, and they'll look out twice as sharp for a murderer as for a burglar. Besides, swingin' ain't pleasant."
"Never you mind. I'll only stun him a little. He can wake up when we're gone, but we'll tie him so he can't give the alarm."
"How cool you take things, Bill!"
"Do I? Well, it's my business. You just leave everything to me. Obey orders, and I'll bring you out all right."
So the day passed, and darkness came on. It was the calm before the storm.
