Fort and Rogers took what they could while the owners were in the house. In the middle of the room, they waited, expressionless, well-behaved.
It was only at the start so of course they couldn't say or do anything. Just in case, that's the proceedure.

He started bumping a foot off the ground in the splendor of doing it. He kicked it a few times, only to be sure of it.
Of course he hadn't a handle on it.
But no one hid underneath the floor.
