“Who’s Peter?” Bradley asked.

“Peter is our parrot,” Hannah’s father said proudly. “He talks, he dances, he does tricks!”

“Peter is very cute,” Maude said. “And we have Clumsy, the world’s funniest clown!”

“I love clowns!” Lucy said.

Maude gave Hannah a hug. “We love her, too,” she said. “Hannah is a wonderful clown!”

“Who else is in your show?” Bradley asked, thinking of the silver acrobat.

“No one else,” said Hannah.

“Now we must excuse ourselves,” Basilio said. “See you at seven.”

The couple walked toward the tent.

“See you kids later,” Hannah said as she headed toward the bus.

The kids started walking away from the high school grounds.

“Boy, we messed up,” Brian said. “This isn’t a circus at all!”

“Yeah, and we sold all those tickets,” Nate said. “Everyone in town is going to be mad at us.”

“Maybe we can help them,” Lucy said.

“They need a lot more than our help,” Bradley said. “All they have is a parrot and Hannah pretending to be a clown. How can they call themselves the Flying Fortunatos when they don’t even have an acrobat? Adam is lousy!”

“But the person in the silver costume wasn’t lousy!” Lucy said.

“So why didn’t anyone mention that acrobat? Who was it?” Brian asked.

“Maybe it was Adam,” Nate said.

“Dude, we saw Adam, and he stinks as an acrobat,” Brian said.

Nate giggled. “Maybe it was Peter the parrot!”

Everyone just looked at Nate.

“I wonder where the silver acrobat went,” Bradley said.

“And what was he doing in the Fortunatos’ tent if he isn’t a Fortunato?” Brian said.

“We can help the Fortunatos if we can find that acrobat!” Lucy said.

“But we don’t know who it is,” Nate said. “He just disappeared out the back of the tent. And most of his face was covered.”

“People can’t disappear,” Lucy said. “We have to find the mystery acrobat by tomorrow!”
