Chapter Five

“Please come with me,” Officer Phillips told the man in the blue jacket.

“What did I do?”

“I didn’t say you did anything. I just asked you to come along.”

They all went to the library.

Officer Kaplan was there with the six other people who were on the elevator with Cam, her mother, and Mrs. Scott. Eric and Mrs. Shelton were there, too.

Officer Kaplan wrote the man’s name next to the description he had in his notepad. Then he asked the man to empty his pockets.

“But I didn’t do anything.”

The man took a wallet from his back pants pocket. He took a few coins from one of his front pockets. Then he pulled the inside of each pocket out so the officers could see they were empty.

“Is that everyone?” Officer Kaplan asked Mrs. Scott.

Mrs. Scott looked at Cam.

“There were ten of us on the elevator,” Cam said, “and we’re all here.”

“What are you looking for?” Jane Levy asked. She was Mrs. Scott’s friend. “Maybe we saw it.”

“We’re looking for a valuable pearl necklace,” Officer Kaplan said. “Mrs. Scott was wearing it when she got on the elevator. When she got off, it was gone.”

Officer Phillips sat in one of the big library chairs. She looked at the many people in the room.

“Can I go now?” the woman in the green dress asked. “I’m not a thief. You know I don’t have the necklace. By now my husband must be looking for me.”

“Yes,” the old man with the cane said. “I’m also not a thief. I’m an accountant, and I came with my daughter.”

“That’s it!” Officer Phillips said.

She got out of her chair. She looked at the woman in the green dress and said, “You came with your husband.” She looked at the old man. “You came with your daughter. Each of you came with someone. One of you took the necklace, but you no longer have it. You must have given it to your partner.”
