Diane saw Max and Gary. She held up her hand and signaled them to stop walking. Then slowly and quietly Diane walked to them.

Diane whispered, “We saw someone wearing a bright yellow sweater walk into that classroom. And he was pushing a really big box.”

“Well,” Max said as he walked toward the open door, “if he has Jackie in that box, he’s in real trouble.”

CHAPTER FIVE

Max walked quickly into the classroom. Gary, Kevin, and Diane followed him. There was an older man in the room. He was bent over, picking up something.

“Where’s Jackie?” Max asked.

The man in the yellow sweater stood up. He was holding a piece of paper. “All the children are in the theater,” he said, and dropped the paper into the box.

Diane looked in the box and said, “It’s full of trash.”

“Sure it’s full of trash,” the man said. “I’m cleaning the school. That’s my job.”

“We’re looking for a large gray bird,” Kevin told the man.

“I just fed all the birds, and the fish, too. And I put the food back in my closet.”

Gary told the man, “This bird was part of a magic act in the talent show, and he’s missing.”

“Oh. There are some birds and fish in the kindergarten rooms. But I don’t think they’re part of any magic act.”

“We’re looking for a large gray bird that talks,” Max said. “If you see him, please let us know.”

The man began to sweep as Max, Gary, Kevin, and Diane left the room. “A talking bird,” the old man said as he swept. “I wonder what it says.”

There was a chair in the hall outside the principal’s office. Max sat on it, rubbed his forehead, and said, “No one has seen Jackie leave, so he must be in the building. But where?”

“Maybe he’s flying around the building,” Gary said.

Kevin said, “Or maybe someone found him or took him out of the disappearing box and hid him. Then, when everyone leaves, he’ll leave, too. But he’ll have Jackie.”
