SUMMERT

Butler! Butler! Cathy can hear the sounds of the people in the hotel. “I bet they make a million dollars a day,” Cathy said to her friend John. “One time I snuck in and I heard that there is a $1,000 case and they’re going to give it out to somebody in the hotel,” said John looking at Cathy with her eyes big and bold. “What time, what day, what month? Tell me!” yelled Cathy now sounding serious. “Calm down okay. I heard that it’s this Friday at 10:00 and if we want to get in we need a plan because I heard that people who don’t live there are not allowed in,” whispered John because the doorman Marvin was next to them listening closely. “Don’t worry,” she said, “I have a plan.” Friday at 9:00 “Ding Dong!” went the hotel door as people entered the lobby. Cathy and John discussed what the plan was and Jon liked what he was hearing. Finally, they stopped discussing and got to work. First, they got some rope, black outfits, a screw driver, and a pillow. Once it was 9:00 pm they got to the hotel and this is what they did. They know the doorman Marvin will not let them in so they knocked him out with the pillow, then they slipped on their black outfits and went over to the vent. Cathy took the screw driver and unscrewed the vent door. They both crawled in. When they got to the room where the case is going to be John kicked the vent door open and waited for Cathy to catch up. They had to find a handle to tie the rope around. Once they did they climbed down the rope and they were in. At 10:00 pm there was a stage with a glass container covered with a sheet. A couple seconds later the curtain opened from the stage and a man with a beard and a mustache announced that the case is right there as he carefully took off the sheet and…It’s gone! Someone stole the case! The guy on the stage nearly fainted and it was a disaster. Cathy and John said they could look for it. On their way while they were searching they went to the fancy hotel down the street and heard people talking about a mysterious man who came in with a lot of money. At that moment they had their first clue. When they went in they asked a lady named Michelle (who checked people in) what room he was staying in and if they could borrow a spare key so they could get in. She told them the room (112) but she said the guy in the room (by the way his name is Mr. Mich) had to make reservations for visitors and he has two people coming, his nephew Luke and his niece Emma. “Well we’re his niece and nephew,” said John nervously. “Really?” said Michelle curiously, “Because you don’t look like a Luke and Emma, but you do look like a John and Cathy.” “Well we’re not!” shouted John feeling so guilty he thought his head could pop off any minute. “So just hand us the key please!” “Fine, fine. Here you go,” said Michelle while handing them the key. Once they had the key in their hands they ran to room 112 and surprise, surprise the door was locked. They didn’t want to be rude so they knocked first. Knock, Knock. “Hello,” said a man behind the door. “Who is it?” “Ummm I mean echem ememe echm” he groaned trying to make his voice deeper. “I’m the plumber.” “But my sink is fine,” said Mr. Mich sounding suspicious. “Well this is just to be sure.” “Hmmmm, alright.” Just then the door opened and…ATTACK! They darted at him like a dog who spotted a cat. They kept him distracted and then put him on a cart and then sent him down the hall. They had to check him out at the front desk and then they were off. They went right to the other hotel and ran right to the guy with the mustache weeping his eyes out. “We found the thief, we found the thief,” they both cheered. “You did?” “Yup and the police are on their way.” “Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think I know who is going to get the case.” “Who?” “You two!” Before they could say anything the cops arrived, they cheered some more, and took him away, and they partied until they all fell asleep.
