( a/n just to let you know the last chapter really stunk. this 1 is a betta)

Chapter 2: Reggie's Idea

Reggie took a deep breath and thought a moment before beginning.......... Reggie: " Well, I think that anyone would want a volleyball trophy. Tito and Dad always polished it and made it looked brand new. Someone...... Like a customer could have thought that it was worth stealing. So, they could have snuck in..... but the one thing I don't get is..... Wouldn't they need a key to get in? Even if they tried to sneak in during they day, it would still be locked. They only person who has a key would be Raymundo. But he keeps it somewhere in the house. Only me and Otto know.......... wait a minute. Rocket Boy did you take the key and give it to someone. Like maybe if you got a new surfboard or something?"

Otto: " NO WAY MAN!!!!!! How stupid would that be to steal stuff? Only a LAMEO would (under his breath) probably one of those shoobies who take over the beach during the summer."

Reggie: " Anyway back to my idea. If nobody had a key then like a............. criminal mastermind who knows how to pick locks would know how to get in there. But I really doubt they would try to steal a trophy. I mean they would probably try to steal jewelry or something. But Dad could have dropped the key while working, and somebody could have picked it up. Somebody who doesn't like me or Otto."

Otto: " That's insane. Who would hate me? ME! I mean I'm awesome at every sport and I come in first place mostly all the time and....... okay I see where you are going with this."

Reggie: " okay can you please stop interrupting me! So maybe we should think of people who would do this."

Reggie, Otto, Twister, and Sam started to think about who would do this. After a couple of minutes Otto thought of something.

Otto: " Is it just me, or is Lars the only one you can think of that would do that."

Reggie, Twister, and Sam: " Yeah that's the only person I can think of."

Sam: " Reggie do you have any other ideas?"

Reggie: " Yeah. I was thinking after we share ideas maybe we should search for clues. Like me and Otto can look at the shack. Twister you can look in Lars's room. And Sam can like...... make a 3-D format of the shack on your computer and see where people could have entered with out a key."

Sam: " Sure it might take me a while thought."

Otto: " yeah I mean it will be like an old detective movie."

Twister: " yeah but why am I stuck with Lars??"

Reggie: " Uh... Maybe because he is your brother and you live in the same house with him and you have the easiest access to his room.

Twister: " Oh."

Otto: " Sure lets go!"

Reggie grabs the collar of Otto's shirt.

Reggie: " Wait a minute Rocket boy. We still have to listen about what everyone else thinks."

Otto: " Fine."

Reggie: " Well I'm fresh out of ideas."

Sam: " Well I might. You see by simply entering data into the hard drive of my computer, I was able to think of a step by step program and......."

Otto: " In English please."

Sam: " Oh yeah. Sorry. Well anyway I think it went this way."

A/N by the why the whole computer thing Sam talked about I totally made up. Chapter 3 will be up soon.
