Write a story about A mime accidentally gets caught in a high-stakes bank robbery, leading to a silent and slapstick heist gone wrong.

Bartholomew "Barry" Bumbles was never one for words. He preferred the eloquence of movement, the poetry of silence. So, when he stumbled upon a scene straight out of a heist movie, his natural instinct wasn't to scream, but to mime his astonishment.

Two masked figures, clad in ill-fitting black suits, were stuffing duffel bags with an alarming amount of green. One, a burly oaf named Tiny, grunted with exertion, while the other, a scrawny fellow named Slim, nervously scanned the room.

Barry, frozen in the doorway like a living statue, accidentally knocked over a precariously placed "Wet Floor" sign. The loud clatter shattered the silence, and Slim shrieked, dropping a stack of bills like startled pigeons.

Tiny whirled around, his eyes bulging behind his mask. He brandished a crowbar the size of a small tree, and Barry, ever the pacifist, instinctively mimed raising his hands in surrender.

Slim, however, seemed to misinterpret the gesture. He lunged at Barry, mistaking his raised hands for a high-five. Barry, thrown off balance, did a clumsy pirouette, accidentally kicking Tiny's shins.

The crowbar clattered to the floor, and Tiny, hopping on one foot, howled in pain. This, in turn, startled a guard dog lounging near the vault door. The dog, a basset hound named Droopy, mistook the commotion for playtime and bounded over, tail wagging furiously.

Droopy, mistaking the duffel bags for oversized chew toys, snatched one in his mouth and galloped away, dragging Slim, who clung desperately to the bag, on a hilarious, slobbery ride.

Tiny, hopping mad, gave chase, his mask slipping as he roared, "Get back here, you drool-bucket!"

Barry, finally regaining his composure, saw his chance. He mimed picking a lock, expertly using a paperclip he always kept hidden in his sleeve. The vault door, surprisingly unlocked, swung open with a dramatic flourish.

Inside, bathed in the soft glow of safety deposit boxes, sat a single, unassuming brown paper bag. Curiosity piqued, Barry mimed opening the bag.

Instead of jewels or cash, it contained... a collection of mismatched socks. A single tear rolled down Barry's painted cheek. He understood now. This wasn't a high-stakes robbery; it was a desperate attempt by a sock aficionado to reunite lost pairs.

As police sirens wailed in the distance, Barry, the unwitting hero of the most bizarre heist ever, replaced the socks, locked the vault with a flourish, and exited the bank with a silent sigh. He left behind a trail of bewildered criminals, a runaway basset hound, and a silent story that only he could truly tell.
