Herbert sat on the sofa, remote in hand, a half-eaten donut on his chest. Margot was attempting to read the newspaper but kept glancing at him with a disapproving frown.
"Herbert, are you actually going to do anything productive today?" she asked, finally putting the paper down.
"Relax, Margot," Herbert mumbled around a mouthful of jam. "It's Sunday. A day of divine rest."

Suddenly, Brian burst through the front door, skateboarding helmet askew.
"Dad, you won't believe this! Mrs. Gable next door thinks her cat is a hostage!"

Herbert blinked, momentarily disrupted from his donut-induced stupor. "A hostage? What are you talking about, Brian?"
"She says it's being held against its will in Mr. Henderson's shed! She’s very upset."

Margot sighed. "Oh, dear. Well, that sounds like something we need to investigate. Maybe we can convince Mr. Henderson to be a bit more cooperative."

Herbert groaned. "Investigate? I was really hopeful for a nap. Can't someone else handle this? Isn't there a neighborhood watch or something?"

Brian rolled his eyes. "Dad, Mrs. Gable called Mr. Thompson, the educator from Oakhaven Elementary but he said it wasn't a school matter. She's really counting on us!"

Margot gave Herbert a pointed look. "Come on, Herbert. A neighbor is in distress. It's the right thing to do."

Herbert reluctantly stood up, leaving the remote on the sofa. "Fine, fine. But if that cat scratches me, I'm blaming you both."
