No one has looked at these for a long time!

“Okay, we’ve narrowed our search,” Mom says. “Everyone grab a handful—or a tentacleful—and start looking.”

We all take a few files and start flipping through the papers. It’s like HAUNTED LUNCH MENUS OF THE PAST in here—we find recipes for tuna supreme, hot dog casserole, pork and bean surprise. And I thought Dad makes weird food!

After another few minutes Agent Paul speaks through the Paul-O-Phone.

“Take a look at this,” he says.

Floating to the top of his tank, Agent Paul reaches a tentacle out and hands me a file. I look it over and see that it is labeled COOKS, CASHIERS, DIRECTORS OF CAFETERIA SERVICES. There’s a stamp on it—from this year!

I pull out the file on the current director of Cafeteria Services.

“Her name is Johanna Brown,” I say. Same last name as Petula—well, I suppose I could have guessed that. “Hmm . . . she was a student here at Fillmore about twenty years ago. But I don’t see anything strange about her on this info sheet.”

Emily flips my sheet over. Nope. Nothing.

“Well, if she was a student at Fillmore Middle, she must have a permanent record,” Emily says. “Here—let’s search the student archive. Maybe we can find something there.”

Emily and Mom dart to the other side of the room. They’re quick. Soon enough, they pull out a big messy file on Johanna Brown. I guess my teachers weren’t kidding—you really do have a permanent record!

Emily takes out a newspaper clipping.

“Bingo!” she cries. “Look at this. It’s a clipping from the print edition of Right Next Door from twenty years ago.”

Everyone huddles round Emily. Agent Paul peers through the glass of his tank.

ALL-STAR ATHLETE EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL

by Kathleen Silvestri

Fillmore Middle School’s beloved all-star track athlete, Johanna Brown, was expelled today. As it turns out, this track diva is more than just a superstar athlete—she’s a bit of a scientist in disguise, too!

Brown was conducting an unauthorized experiment in her chemistry class at Fillmore Middle School when her formula went wrong. She set out to create a new sports drink for runners to use after a race, but when she tested it on the track team, it burned off the hair of many kids in class—plus the principal’s hair—and almost set the whole school on fire!

What will be next for this former all-star? Who knows? Only time will tell, though if you ask this reporter, I don’t think that’s the last we’ll hear of Johanna Brown.

“Oh, wow,” says Emily. “Kathleen Silvestri must be Kathy Jenkins before she got married. On my class schedule it shows that her middle initial is S.”

“Kathy has been writing for Right Next Door for a very long time,” says Mom. I think she’s a little impressed—Mom changes missions so often, the idea must sound really foreign to her.

“Getting expelled sounds awful,” I say, suddenly feeling sorry for Johanna. “I mean, she was just an inventor trying to make something to help people. Kind of like what I do. I get it that her invention went really, really wrong, but I’ve been there before too.
