The Eavesdropper

Former renowned newspaperman Jasper “Scoop” Johnson, who had given up journalism to write children’s fantasy books, was having a rough time of it. No one wanted his stories. Not even the one about the giant gorilla who ate Milwaukee.

His mailbox was filling up with rejection letters, and Jasper was surprised to admit that he missed the newspaper business. He missed chasing down a new story. After all, his middle name was Scoop. No one had a nose for a newspaper story like Jasper “Scoop” Johnson.

“If I can come up with the right story, I could get my old job back,” Jasper said to himself as he browsed the children’s book section of the library.

Yes, that was it, he decided. He just needed the right story.

And right there in the library, he found what he was looking for when he heard the word “Revenge.”

Hearing the word gave Jasper tingles. There was a story nearby. He could feel it. He perked up his ears and peered over the bookcase, where he saw three suspicious villain types.

Former renowned newspaperman Jasper “Scoop” Johnson was trained to know suspicious villain types when he saw them. And these three looked very suspicious . . . and very villainy. One of them had a pink beard and an eye patch. Another one had a flattened nose, like he had been in way too many fights.

Jasper moved closer and listened in.

The guy with the pink beard was saying something about kidnapping a dog. The guy with the flat nose mentioned three names—Kevin, Mitch, and David.
