Ever hear a story like this ? story I think it was a book or radio show but might of been tv?

Question

This is a question without alot of info to help solve it. 30 plus years ago I heard a story was something like a twilight zone ,hitchcock presents, orsen wells, outer limits type of format. I dont think it was TV show I think I read it or listened to it. The story was about a kid ( I think) who ran away from home and hide in a home under construction. It was night when he was there after a while he heard voices and stays hidden not wanting to get caught for being in the house. Not seeing who it was on the other side of the wall he overhears a conversation about a bank robbery or some sort of crime and how the big boss was coming to the house more guys show up to the home underconstruction the story goes on. The big surprise was that the voices he heard were talking squirells that kept getting bigger and bigger in size. Anyway the story goes something like that I heard something that reminded me of it and am i going nuts trying to figure out where i heeard the story ..

X Minus One was a science fiction radio series on NBC from April 1955 through January 1958. The show feature stories written by some of the big names in 1950s science fiction, like Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and Issac Asimov. X Minus One followed another great sci-fi series called Dimension X that was broadcast in 1950-51. Some of the X-1 shows were rebroadcasts of Dim X. For baby boomers that liked The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone and for all you Trekkies, X Minus One is the forefather of the science fiction you grew up with.

Each X Minus One starts with this intro, to the sound effects of a rocket lifting off:


Countdown for blast-off. X Minus 5, 4, 3, 2, X Minus 1, Fire. From the far horizons of the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space. These are stories of the future. Adventures in which you will live in a million could-be years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Corporation in cooperation with (Galaxy Magazine, then Astounding Science Fiction) presents . . . . X Minus One.
