=**Missing Hot Chocolate **= =**At exactly 11:00 AM Casey had just come in from playing in the snow and she had made herself some hot chocolate. The first sip was so hot to her that she set it down to cool. At 11:15 Casey heard a noise, it was only her company, her company was Mrs.Wimmer, Mrs.Wimmer's dog Louie, and two of her friends. The friends were Brianna and Amanda. While all Casey's company was upstairs watching T.V. Casey heard a noise. **= =**It was now 11:30 and Casey said okay my hot chocolate must be okay by now. So she turned around to find NO HOT CHOCOLATE. She was so suprised. You see she only had one mug in the house. **= =**Right at that moment she ran upstairs and madly shouted, "NO MORE T.V.!" Go downstairs, I brewed each of you some coffee. Then Casey rushed out the door with her two friends and car keys. **= =**While Casey was on her way to the destination Brianna and Amanda asked, "Where are we going?" **= =**I replied, "We are going to Dr. Wimmer's detective agency." **= =**"Who is Dr. Wimmer?" asked Brianna. **= =**"Well he is Mr. Wimmer," Casey replied, " ****And he is a detective." When Casey and her friends were there her friends sat in the waiting room while Casey talked to Mr. Wimmer. **= =**"NEXT," yelled one of the grumy old employees. **= =**You see I was next so I walked into Dr. Wimmer's fancy office and this is what he said, "Okay what happened?" **= =**This is what I told him ''Well I was sitting in the living room on my couch and I took a sip of hot chocolate and thought it was too hot so I set it down to cool. Then about a half an hour later I heard a noise, turned around and just like that my hot chocolate went missing.'' **= =**So you heard a noise and right then your hot chocolate was gone," said Mr. Wimmer. **= =**"Yes," I replied. So when are we going to look for clues?" I asked. **= =**"Me and Louie have playtime later, so tomorrow okay?" asked Mr. Wimmer. **= =**"Oh I guess so," I said while walking away all slumped up. When I walked out to the waiting room my friends were still sitting there so I said, "Come on let's go home." So we did. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">When I woke up I immediately jumped out of bed, got dressed, slapped the phone with my right hand, dialed the Wimmer's number and heard, "Sorry we are not able to answer the phone so please leave a message after the beep." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Okay," I wailed, "I will just call the agency instead." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Luckily Mr Wimmer answered by saying, "Yes?" **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Then I screamed back, "COME TO MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!" **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">When Mr Wimmer got there I said, "I found a clue at least I think." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Okay well go interview the company first." So we did. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">First was Mrs. Wimmer and she said, "Louie left me and went downstairs but not for long okay." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">So we went to the next house which was Brianna's and she said, "Boy I was playing a game I heard a noise too though I did not know what it was." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Then with only one suspect who was Louie, we went off to Amanda's house and a young lady with black and brown hair with white front teeth and I said, "We need Amanda." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Okay," said the woman, and then she shouted, "AMANDA." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">We talked to Amanda then left for clues. The first clue we found was a broken mug and one little drip of hot chocolate. After a while Mr. Wimmer shouted, "Found another clue, it was a small little locket on a collar." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"I've found the last one," I screamed, "There were tiny little paw prints next to the coffee table." **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Let's take a rest and some time to think, I suggested. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Okay, said Mr. Wimmer very tiredly. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Yes!'' shouted Mr. Wimmer, "I've got it. Louie did it. He slurped it up, jammed the cup on the floor, and it broke so that was the noise I heard," I said. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Yes," said Mr Wimmer. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Okay so let's get to that mug," and I turned around and said, "Did you clean up the mug?" **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> "No!" said Mr Wimmer. **= =**<span style="background-color: #1fbf03; color: #ff0045; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"Well then, where is my only mug?" I screamed. **=
