Near the back of the store Cam felt a draft of cold air. She turned and saw that the back door was open. And there was no security gate there.

Cam was just starting toward it when she heard a loud “Beep ... Beep ... Beep” coming from the front of the store.

Chapter Five

Cam rushed down aisle six, past Jordan, to the store entrance.

Eric pointed to a man standing by the security gate. The guard opened a bag he was carrying.

Cam looked at the man. She blinked her eyes and said, “Click.”

“This is it,” the guard said as he took out a videotape rented from another store. “These always set off our alarm.”

The man was about to leave.

“I’m sorry,” the guard said. “I’ll have to check your other bag, too.”

The guard was wearing a name tag. HELLO. I’M ERNIE’S HELPER. MY NAME IS BARRY was printed on the tag.

The man with the videotape was holding another large paper shopping bag. Cam got closer to see what was in the bag.

“It’s a watermelon,” the man said. “I’m having a party tonight, and this will be dessert.”

Barry the guard looked in the bag. Cam looked in, too. It was a watermelon.

“It’s a big one,” Barry said.

“I’m having a big party,” the man told him as he left the store.

The bottom of the watermelon bag was wet and left a spot on the floor. Barry the guard wiped the floor and then went back to his seat near the cash registers.

Cam told Eric, “Come with me. I’ll show you how the thief got out.”

Eric followed Cam to the back door.
