Chapter two
All over the country lite bright pegs have been disappearing, they have no idea who the thief could be or how he knows which houses contain the lite brite toy. The story made headlines as the nation wondered what kind of man takes the pegs and only certain colored pegs...
Jericho smiled at his tv in his hotel room. His plan has come together perfectly. Undetected in the fingerprint system since he's never had a criminal record he figured he'd make one last round of collecting the colorful pegs and call it day.
In Florida, a hot muggy day Jericho picked a random house to rob but a brief rainstorm lead to muddy lawns and slippery windows. He managed to get into a small ranch house and lucky there were plenty of blue pegs at his disposal, however this kid packed up their lite brite and left the blue pegs at the bottom of the box. He dumped the box without thinking took the pegs and placed everything back neatly like it was when he found it. He headed back towards the window when a small child ran into her room.
"Mommy there's a man in my room!" She squealed and pointed to Jericho.
"Shhh, I was just leaving!" he whispered while opening the window. "I'm on the look out for unsecured Lite brites, but lucky you little girl you're smart. Your torys are safe and sound in your closet. No thief would think to look in there." He praised the little girl in the yellow sun dress and curled ginger hair.
"Really, thank you Mr. Lite-bright detective." She smiled a semi toothless smile then turned down the hall, "It's okay mom he's here to make sure my toys are safe from the toy thief!"
"Shh just stay quiet and keep this a secret." He said and she nodded, "I'll buy you a present for helping once I catch the thief okay." He said and left the house.
One day after sucessfully parading around the light bright jacket, the mom of the ginger haired child was watching tv, flippling through the channel and noticed a man in a glowing jacket.
"Hey look he has a little green swirl around some of the blue ones... WAIT THAT'S ALANA'S LIGHTBRIGHT PIECES!" She gasped in shock, she picked up her phone and called the police line for tips about the light bright thief. She got into some markers and drew lines on the blue pegs with a green sharpie.
Chris was apprehended a week later but they weren't able to return all the pegs but a majority of pegs were returned.
