“Well, we’ve narrowed it down to two boys,” said Maggie. She plucked a hot-pink blossom from the bougainvillea and tucked it behind her ear.

My friends and I were in the school courtyard again, eating lunch and talking about the sleuthing we’d been doing. It was Wednesday: there were only a few more days until Halloween. We had to step up our detective work if we were even going to have a shot at catching the robber in time for the kids to go trick-or-treating. The day before, since Sunny and I had both had sitting jobs, Maggie and Jill had gone to Palo City High to watch track practice and try to figure out which of the team members was the one who had bought a Jolly Roger clown mask at the Halloween Shoppe. They’d spotted two who fit the clerk’s description.

“I think it’s the cute one,” said Jill. “The one who wins all the races.”

“They’re both cute,” said Maggie with a sigh. “Too bad they’d never look at us middle-school girls twice.”

“Don’t forget,” I warned her. “Cute or not, one of them may be a hold-up man.”

“Right,” said Maggie. “Somehow it seems unlikely, but I guess we have to follow all the leads.”

“I definitely want to keep working on the case,” said Sunny. “Especially after being with Clover and Daffodil yesterday.” Clover and Daffodil are two little girls we often sit for. They live next door to me. “They kept talking about how they wished they could go trick-or-treating. I told them about the party, and they liked the idea, but they said it just wasn’t the same.”

“It’s not,” I agreed. “So I’ll go to track practice today. Anybody want to join me?”

Maggie and Jill were busy after school, but Sunny said she’d come along. The four of us agreed to meet later at Sunny’s, to work some more on plans for the party.

“Just look for the two guys with long brown hair,” said Jill, as we split up. “You can’t miss them.”
