  • 1 of 8: You're going to need the key, as there's no other way to get inside.
  • 2 of 8: It's on the same key ring as the ignition key for the bike.
  • 3 of 8: And we know who's taken those keys, don't we?
  • 4 of 8: The boys' mother took them and has them downstairs, where she's keeping a watchful eye on them.
  • 5 of 8: You're going to need to find a way to distract her in order to get them.
  • 6 of 8: Once you have the keys, you simply need to get them to Joe.
  • 7 of 8: Head back to the bedroom window and throw them down to him.
  • 8 of 8: As Joe, you can then head to the garage and use the key with the bike storage compartment to open it up.
