Six Sentence Sunday 5-15-11

Here's my six:

They came at night, without warning, professionally silent, disabling our security system, overriding our door locks, and moving around in the living room unnoticed.  I would never have awakened if one of them hadn’t bumped into something – probably the antique Chinese vase on a stand by the sofa – and muffled a curse.
“David?” I groped  for my husband, looking at him wide eyed. “Did you hear that,” I hissed. “I think there’s someone in the living room.” 

“Stay here. I’ll take care of it.”  

If you're keeping score, this comes from the same WiP as the last six I posted, although from another section, and is narrated by the woman narrating last week's six sentences, although in a different time. Enjoy! :D

    very creepy and it seems they are very professional, not just thieves or the antique vase would be gone.

    Thanks everyone! It's fun reading all these little snippets of plot out of context. And it's great seeing people react to my six just how I hoped they would. ;)

    Allure, LOL @ the ice scraper. :)

    Who hasn't heard a bump in the night and wondered what they'd do? Truly scary, and a great six sentences.

    Thanks, Ginger! It's one of mine too, which made this fun to write...in a creepy, what-was-that-noise kinda way. :)
