CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!

The bells on the helmet rang as Phil’s eyes darted back and forth.

“I don’t have a hamster,” Phil said. “What kind of question is that?”

Joe and Frank traded sideways glances. If Phil didn’t have a hamster, why were the lie detector bells ringing out of control?

“Next question,” Frank piped up. “Do you own a hamster? As a pet?”

“No,” Phil replied quickly.

This time the bells didn’t ring.

“Then by any chance,” asked Joe, “do you have someone else’s hamster in your room?”

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!

“Arrrgh!” Phil cried. He pulled off the helmet with the jangling bells. “What’s with all the questions about hamsters? I don’t want to do this anymore.”

“But your club isn’t here yet,” Frank said.

“I promised to help my mom make snacks,” Phil said, handing the helmet back to Joe. “You guys know the way out. I’ll see you Monday.”

As Phil headed toward the kitchen, Joe whispered, “We also know the way to Phil’s room.”

“What does that mean?” whispered Frank.

“It means,” Joe whispered back, “it’s time for a little hamster hunt.”

Joe kept the bells from ringing as he and Frank climbed the stairs to Phil’s room. It looked like a mad scientist’s lab, filled with things Phil had invented.

Joe placed the lie detector helmet on Phil’s desk. Then he and Frank searched the room for any hamster signs.

“I see a ton of gadgets and gizmos,” Frank said, “but no hamster.”

“I don’t see any hamster stuff either,” added Joe. “No hamster cage, toys, or bag of cedar chips—”

“Wait, Joe,” Frank cut in. He pointed to a table against one of the walls. On it was something bulky covered with a white sheet.

“What do you think is under there?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” Joe said. “Let’s check it out.”

The brothers walked toward the table. When Joe saw something sticking out from under the sheet, he gulped.

“Frank . . . it’s a paw!” he said. “The same hamster paw I saw in Phil’s pocket.”

“What’s that whirring noise?” Frank asked. “We have to see what’s underneath the sheet!”

He yanked the sheet away. Lying on the table was a hairy hamster with flashing red eyes!
