“I’ve got something to tell you,” he said as he stopped in front of them.

Mike hopped off the elevator. The doors clanged shut behind him.

“I’m glad I caught you two,” Jordan said. He ran his hand through his hair and scratched the back of his head.

Mike glanced at Kate. She shrugged.

“You were right,” Jordan said. He looked down at the floor. “I did take something else from the office yesterday.”

Mike’s and Kate’s eyes widened. “You did?” Kate asked. “Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I don’t know. You surprised me when you asked about it,” Jordan said. “I didn’t know what to do. But after I left, I realized I should tell the truth.”

“That’s good,” Mike said. “So what happened?”

Jordan rubbed his hands together. “When I went back to get my lens, I saw something on Mr. Owen’s desk that I couldn’t resist. I just had to take it,” he said. “I didn’t think it was a big deal. Maybe you can tell Mr. Owen that I’m sorry.”

Kate nodded. “We’ll tell him,” she said. “But do you still have the baseball card?”

Jordan looked at Kate. “Baseball card?” he asked. “I didn’t take a baseball card. I took a Christmas cookie!”

“A Christmas cookie?” Mike and Kate both said.

“Yes, there was a bag of them on the desk,” Jordan said. “And I didn’t think Mr. Owen would mind. But I should have asked first.”

“So you didn’t take the Honus Wagner card?” Kate asked.

Jordan straightened up. “No! I didn’t take that!” he said. “Why? Is it missing? It’s worth a fortune!”

“Someone stole the Honus Wagner card and replaced it with a fake,” Mike said. “It happened after you and Big D photographed it and before Mr. Owen came back from showing you to the door. We thought you might have stolen it because you were the only one who was alone in the office during that time.”

“It wasn’t me!” he said. He rocked back on his heels and thought for a moment. “I was alone with the card when I went to get my lens. But there was someone else who was alone with it besides me.”
