Not the time to read historical facts? When had Gregory ever said such a thing? Clearly, he was taking this human trapping very seriously.

“There’s Jamaal.” Ava pointed at a bald man wiping down the counter.

“How can you tell?” Mrs. Squeakerton asked.

“His name tag,” Ava said.

“Let’s go set up,” Dean said.

The mice snuck into the back room.

Ava and Dean quietly set out the marbles, one by one.

Mrs. Squeakerton shoved the thorns into a blow dart. (Oh, that wasn’t on the list! Yes, there was also a blow dart. Surprise!)

Gregory shined the ring until it sparkled.

Mina unraveled the rope.

The mice waited for two minutes. They waited for twenty minutes. Still no Jamaal. All they needed was for him to walk into the room. Then the toothpaste would squirt out, the marbles would roll, and the glasses would…

Look, it was a smart plan. If you’re a mouse, you probably already see where this plan is going. If you’re a human, you probably wouldn’t understand even if someone explained it to you.

Either way, the plan wouldn’t work if Jamaal didn’t walk into the room!

“Use the cymbals,” Mrs. Squeakerton whispered.

“If this doesn’t work, I can run up his pant leg,” Gregory said. “I’ll grab him by the neck in a secret hold that will make him fall over. We’ll call about five hundred—no, probably a thousand mice down to drag him back up the mountain. Then we’ll squirt hot sauce up his nose until he tells the truth—”

“We are peaceful mice!” Mina interrupted.

“Oh. Yeah. So are we,” Gregory said. “Okay. We’ll try this first.”

Gregory stuck some beeswax into his ears. The other mice covered their own ears. Gregory clashed the cymbals together.

“What was that?” Jamaal ran into the dark room.

“Jamaal?” someone called out.

“Did you hear that?” He reached for the light switch.

“Hear what? Come talk to me.”

Jamaal shrugged and shut the door.

“Are you kidding me?” Gregory asked.

“There’s no way that guy is smart enough to be the treasure thief!” Ava said. “We could be back here robbing him, and he would just let us.”

“I guess we try plan B,” Dean said.
