Eric pointed down the aisle. “Everyone is going that way,” he said.

The woman thanked Eric and ran off.

Cam and Eric walked slowly along the side of the aisle as shoppers ran past them.

Cam and Eric walked toward an exit. “There’s a guard,” Cam said. “And look! Look! He’s caught her. He’s caught the woman in the blue dress.”

Chapter Five

The guard was talking to a woman in a blue dress. But as Cam and Eric walked closer, they saw that the woman was wearing a brown hat. She didn’t have brown hair. And there were no flowers on her dress.

“We sell dried fruit in our candy department,” the guard was telling the woman. “Just walk down this aisle and you’ll come right to it.”

The woman said, “Thank you,” and walked away.

“I know who stole the shopping bags,” Cam told the guard. “It’s a woman with long, curly brown hair, glasses, and a blue dress with flowers on it.”

The guard smiled at Cam. “What makes you think you know who stole those shopping bags?” he asked.

Eric said, “Cam has an amazing memory. She says ‘Click’ and remembers just about everything she sees. Cam remembers seeing that woman leaving School Supplies with a shopping bag just after the corn popper was taken. And she was leaving Toys when the records and puzzle book were stolen.”

The guard asked, “How can you be so sure it was the same woman?”

“I told you. She has an amazing memory,” Eric said. “Go on, Cam. Show him.”

Cam looked at the guard. Then she closed her eyes and said “Click.”

“You’re wearing a green uniform,” Cam said with her eyes closed. Your badge says ‘Binky’s Security Guard, Number 397.’ And you had ketchup for lunch.”

“That’s right. I did. You do have an amazing memory.”

Cam opened her eyes. “You should move that badge to cover the ketchup.”

The guard laughed. “I can’t,” he said. “It’s covering a mustard stain from yesterday’s lunch.”
