Breaking into a Sweat

Under scrutiny and intense questioning Nick broke into a sweat absolutely and categorically denying he had anything AT all to do with the disappearance of a whole box of Christmas baubles/decorations. 

This is probably true though I do smell a rat as he was captured on camera bounding from the trees, over the garage roof and infiltrating the building. Is he in league with the rat family and are the tell tale droppings or even tell 'tail' droppings evidence of mischief? Who knows, who can tell, where is the box, will it ever be found, how do we stop them doing this again? More to the point what will they eat next? All questions for this evening and beyond one feels.
