“Sounds like a good deal,” Alice said.

“Mrs. Zane also said you were using some of her blue paint,” Max said.

Quinn nudged a paint bucket on the floor with his foot. “Yeah, so what?” he asked. “I’m going to start painting this bookcase in a little while.”

Alice took out the envelope with the fingerprints on it. She held it up so Quinn could read the BEWARE message on its front. “Do you know anything about this?” she asked. “We found it on the sign-in table.”

Quinn put down the sandpaper and shrugged. “Nope,” he said. “I’ve never seen it before.”

“There was a note inside threatening to ruin our Olympics,” Max said.

Alice flipped the envelope over. She pointed to the two blue fingerprints on the back. Then she looked at Quinn.

“You think those are mine?” Quinn asked.

“Maybe,” Max said.

“They’re not,” Quinn said.

“Prove it!” Alice said.

Quinn rolled his eyes. “Sure,” he said. “But you’re not going to like the answer. I’ve never seen that before.”

Alice flipped the sandpaper over so the rough side was down and the paper back was facing up. “Put a little paint on your fingers and press them on this sandpaper,” she said.

Quinn dipped the tips of the fingers on his right hand into the paint and pressed them down on the sandpaper. When he lifted them up, there were five blue fingerprints left behind.

Max pulled out his phone and flipped through his pictures until the phone displayed the one he had taken of the fingerprints on the envelope. The three leaned over to compare the fresh prints to Max’s phone.

After a minute, Max straightened up. Quinn smiled.

The fingerprints were completely different!
