CHAPTER 6

The Scene of the Crime

“This doesn’t sound good,” said Jessie.

“No, it doesn’t,” Henry agreed.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t think straight on an empty stomach,” Benny complained.

“All right, let’s turn around and head back the way we came,” said Henry. “I knew the pizza place was the other direction.”

The Aldens retraced their steps. They found Stewart Avenue and spotted Chariot Pizza right away. Fifteen minutes later they were sitting in a booth, munching on bread-sticks while they waited for their pizza.

“Let’s write down everything we know about this mystery,” Jessie suggested, getting a small pad out of the backpack she always carried. “First of all, Wilson’s was burglarized.”

“Someone wrote a note to Emily saying something about a ‘secret plan’ and directing her to Wilson’s,” Henry said.

“Emily has lost her card key,” added Benny. “And she doesn’t want anyone to know.”

“And we found a card key right outside Wilson’s,” said Jessie.

“Also, Emily seemed really interested in the burglary when we told her about it,” said Henry. “Especially the diamonds.”

The children stopped talking as a waiter brought over their pizza. For a few minutes everyone was silent as they each bit into a hot, cheesy slice.

“But why would she have robbed the jewelry store?” asked Violet after a moment.
