You, Russell, and Gamby were a decided team dedicated to the cause of taking down the new principal, each one for their own reasons. Russell and Gamby wanted the title for themselves, and you were just in it for the love of the craft. After all, that's originally how you and Russell developed a lowkey alliance.
So, when the two Vice Principals grabbed you out of class to break into Principal Brown's house, you were game. In the car, Gamby debriefed his plan (which went in one ear and out the other), and then the plan was deployed.
Though, in their excitement, they got sidetracked, the two men destroying the house one piece at a time. It started with Russell tossing a glass on the floor without a care in the world, then Gamby being goaded into doing the same... Until they began to tear the entire house apart.
It wasn't until Russell lit a cigarette in the house, tilting the lighter to the nearby lace curtain to light the curtain, that things really got out of hand.
