I have posted this question before as well, but didnt get a satisfactory answer. So i am posting this again.
I am an author and writing a thriller novel which is very interesting. I am at the middle of it and it is based on a woman whose family was killed by a man and she takes on revenge later on. I am at a sequence where the woman who is the main character has to kidnap a kid from the kid's home to take him hostage. The kid is very dear to the man from whom she has to take revenge. The boy is around 5-6 yrs old. I am finding it hard ,how to plan the entire kidnapping as it has to be interesting showing the woman's vengeance. The boy is sleeping in his room and the man is sleeping in another room. The woman breaks into the house at night. Now, i am confused deciding the attire of the lady. Should it be :-
1. masked with black leather gloves.
2. or normal dress without any dangerous looking attire.

Now, how should she approach the kidnapping? How should she take the kid away without waking the man up who is asleep in another room. I just cant combine the entire scene so that it looks thrilling. What all things should the woman use ? For eg - chloroform or something like that to make the kid uncounscious. Pls help me in writing this scene. Thanks in advance.
 
IM just gonna giveu an idea 4 a scene please dont copy it all but u can use it

(IDK POINT OF VIEW SO THIS WILL BE A LITTLE HARD)
sorry caps..anyways...

The woman was dressed in all black, she had her hair tightly pulled back in a bun. She was wearing no mask; she didn't want to scare the child. Not yet anyways. All the lights were turned off in the neighbourhod as she aproached the man's house. She sturggled for a couple minutes messing with the windows locks with a screwdriver but soon she had the window open and she was in. The boy was sleeping his eyes were closed and she noted his peacefulness. Not for long, she thought-laughed in her head. She pulled a peice of ducktape out from her leatther coat and put it on his mouth. His eyes sho open but he was silent.
"Shhh," she said, "I'm going to bring you to a magical place honey." And then she pulled out a pack of oreos; someting every little kid wanted. "If your quiet and you come with me these are yours."
The lttle boy would have smiled if he didnt have duck tape over his mouth. He nodded yes and quietly followed the woman out the window the whole time hypnotized over the cookies in her hands.
 
Any good criminal who knows what their doing isn't going to wear a ski mask and ninja suit to break into someones house. If she wears something normal, she can even convince the child to come with her. She can say that she is a friend of the man. Plus, kids trust people easily. Especially women.
