Just then, Opal Egg spied something she wanted. Now, remember how I said that you can’t really walk a chicken?

Good thing I had ahold of her leash.

“Noooooo!” yelled Jules.

Before Jules or I could stop her, Opal Egg darted toward the roly-poly bugs and snatched up something shiny and black.

“Not my roly-poly bugs!” cried Jules.

But it wasn’t a roly-poly bug. It was another bead!

“Something foul is afoot,” said Jules’s mom.

“It’s just Opal Egg,” I said.

“Starla Jean,” said Jules, “maybe you’d better take that chicken on her walk.”

“You can’t really walk a chicken,” I said. “They sort of have a mind of their own.”

“Well,” said Jules’s mom, “maybe you can talk her into it.”

Jules decided to go with us, and she brought along the black bead. Now we had three beads. But we still had no idea who they belonged to.

“Maybe they belong to Mr. Marcos,” Nate said.

Mr. Marcos said they weren’t his beads, and he didn’t know whose they were.

Neither did Dean.

“It’s a funny thing, Starla Jean,” said Mr. Marcos. “I found a bead just that size on my lawn this morning. I almost didn’t see it because it’s the color of grass.”
