“Pssst. Hey, Jigsaw. Can I talk to you and Mila?” Joey yanked on my arm.

“Easy on the arm, Joey. I might need it someday,” I said.

Joey looked around. He whispered, “In private.”

He led us to the swing set. He sat down and waited, looking back at me. So I gave him a shove.

“Okay, Joey. What do you want?”

“I want to help you guys,” he said. “I could be a detective, too. You could teach me.”

I scratched the back of my neck. “I don’t know, Joey.…”

Mila poked me with an elbow. “We could use help with the stakeout.”

“The stakeout!” Joey exclaimed. “I love stakeouts! I am awesome at stakeouts!” He paused, then asked in a soft voice, “What’s a stakeout?”

My knees began to itch.

A small headache formed behind my eyes.

Mila spoke to Joey. “We need to keep an eye on the Little Free Library. I have a piano lesson today. Jigsaw can’t do it all by himself. Your job, Joey, is to hide and watch.”

“Hide and watch,” Joey repeated.

“See who comes by,” Mila said.

“I can keep two eyes on it,” Joey offered. He pointed at his eyeballs to make sure we understood.

I looked at Mila. I wasn’t sure about this.

“It’s fine, Jigsaw,” she said. “Joey can help. What could go wrong?”

A lot, I thought. But I didn’t say a word. Instead I said, “We need to find out who left those notes. That’s the key, Joey.”

“There’s a key?” Joey asked.

“Never mind,” I replied.
