It all made perfect sense! It was even right there in her name!

No one had ever been robbed in room 10 until Ms. Steal showed up. That was why the sub was so nervous — because she was up to no good!

Why hadn’t Sophie made her a suspect before?

Sophie wondered if this was the first time Ms. Steele had ever robbed a school. Or did she do it all the time? Maybe she was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list and no one even knew! Maybe she even poisoned teachers so she could come rob their rooms!

Poor Ms. Moffly. If she was poisoned, Sophie hoped there was an antidote.

She also hoped that cracking this case would make her even more famous than Sherlock Holmes!

Sophie was careful to keep her eyes down as she went back to her seat. She was sure that if Ms. Steele saw them, she would know that Sophie was onto her. And Sophie wasn’t ready for that. She had to tell Kate first!

She sat down at her table to write a note — in code, of course.

But wait! She still had not sharpened her pencil. The tip was still broken off.

Great.

Now she was stuck.

Sophie couldn’t get up again … but she couldn’t keep this news all to herself, either. Sophie looked sideways at Toby. He might have an extra pencil she could use. She hated to ask. But she guessed she had to.

“Uh … Toby?” she said.

Then she stopped. This was hard. Sophie had not asked Toby for anything in a long time — except to mind his own business, that is. But that did not count.

“What?” Toby said. His face had a “why are you even talking to me?” look all over it. Then he grinned and asked her a question. “Hey, have you solved any of those mysteries yet?”

That surprised Sophie a lot. Almost as much as Ms. Steele’s shiny lips.

Then she frowned. Toby was teasing her. He probably thought she was not even close to solving the thefts yet.

Well, she had news for him!

“As a matter of fact, I have solved them,” she said. She crossed her arms.

“Really?” Toby’s eyes got big.

Sophie smiled. “They don’t call me Sophie the Snoop for nothing, you know.”

Toby kept staring at her, like he was waiting for her to say more. But Sophie was not about to tell him what she’d found out. Kate had to be the first to know.

“So?” he said finally.

“So,” she said back. “So can I borrow a pencil?”

“That’s it? A pencil?” Toby asked.

Sophie nodded. “Yes.”

What did he think she was going to say?

“Don’t worry. I’ll give it back,” she told him.

Toby handed her a freshly sharpened yellow pencil. “Keep it.” He shrugged.

Really?

“Thanks,” Sophie said, shocked. She tried hard to keep her eyebrows from shooting up.

Was Toby being nice? For the first time all year?

“Now that it’s got your cooties all over it, I don’t want it,” Toby added.

Sophie rolled her eyes. No. He was the same old pain in the neck. Sometimes she could not believe that Toby used to be her friend.
