Out of the corner of my eye, I can see my parents silently apologizing for my initiative. Thanks, guys. I thought we were a team.

“His name is Breakfast-Hot-Dog Guy,” I say.

“Okay, thanks, boys,” Dad says, rising from his chair and putting one hand on each of our shoulders. “Time for you to head home.”

“I think you have your talent quest meeting tonight, right?” Mom asks. “You don’t want to be late for that.”

“I quit, remember? Anyway, we need to keep working on rescuing Grandpa from the kidnappers.”

Sergeant Purcell steps in. “Max, we actually don’t think your grandpa has been kidnapped.”

“What do you mean? I saw the ransom note.”

“We think someone was playing a not-very-funny joke. There were a lot of things that didn’t make sense about the note.”

“So we’re not going to pay the million dollars?” I ask.

Sergeant Purcell shakes her head. “Some of my officers will still go to the park tonight, just in case. But we can’t see any reason why someone would have kidnapped your grandpa.”

Dad uses his grip on our shoulders to steer us out of the office and all the way back out of the police station.

“But, Dad, what about Breakfast-Hot-Dog Guy?” I ask.

Dad gives a huge sigh. “We’ll look into it, Max. We’ll look into it.”

No, they won’t.
