The next morning, Ruthie awoke to Annie gently nudging her. It was Saturday and it was early.
"What?" Ruthie asked.
"Get up. You're moving into Simon's room," Annie replied. They had put the bunk beds in Simon's room the day before because Jennifer was moving to Ruthie's room.
"I don't want to!" Ruthie said, tiredly.
"You have to!" Jennifer said. Ruthie looked and saw the housekeeper.
"Hi," Ruthie said.
"Hi. I'm Jennifer. You're Ruthie?" Jennifer asked.
"Yes," Ruthie replied.
"Why don't you want to move?" Jennifer asked.
"Why can't you move into Simon's room?" Ruthie asked.
"This room is smaller, and there is only one of me and two of you guys," Jennifer replied.
"Ok," Ruthie said. She got up and went into Simon's room.

Simon got up as Ruthie yelled.
"I saw her! She looks mean!" Ruthie yelled at nine o' clock.
"Mean? Who? The housekeeper?" Simon asked.
"Yes, she looks mean and her name is Jennifer!" Ruthie replied. Little did she know that Jennifer was listening.
"Looks mean?" Simon asked.
"Like she wants to punch ya'!" Ruthie exclaimed in her high pitched voice.
"I doubt she'll wanna punch this!" Simon replied, revealing his tiny muscles. Ruthie crossed her arms.
"Oh yeah?" Ruthie asked.
"Yeah," Simon replied. Jennifer walked in.
"Hey Simon! I'm Jennifer. Ruthie, I think we met," Jennifer said.
"Hi," Simon said.
"Yeah. I hope you like it here!" Ruthie replied.
"I'm sure I will," Jennifer smirked. She walked out.
"See what I mean?" Ruthie asked, jumping on Simon's bed and staring right into his eyes.
"Yeah. Maybe, just maybe, we can pretend that she's the bad guy and we have to get back the stolen jewels!" Simon exclaimed. Ruthie got a twinkle in her eye.
"Yeah!" Ruthie agreed.
"Now, we have to figure this out," Simon replied, getting up and pacing. Ruthie turned and watched him, excitedly.
"Ok Sherlock!" Ruthie exclaimed. Simon rolled his eyes.

Jennifer put the roast in the oven. The first day on the job was always the hardest, and Jennifer had to make a good impression. It was going to be tough on this job. Ruthie was onto her. She didn't know enough yet, which was good. Lucy and Mary walked in.
"Do you swear?" Mary asked.
"Yes! I swear!" Lucy replied.
"Don't swear, girls," Jennifer said, washing her hands. Lucy and Mary seemed stunned.
"Ok," Lucy said, slowly. She didn't exactly want the housekeeper listening on her conversation with Mary about guys.
"Hi, Jennifer. We're going to go upstairs now," Mary said. They hurried upstairs.
"Can you believe that woman? The first day on the job and she thinks she can boss us around?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, looks that way," Mary replied. They met up with Simon and Ruthie in the hall.
"I really don't like her!" Ruthie said, really loud. Mary, Lucy, and Simon covered her mouth, but Jennifer hadn't missed a word. She had been listening to catch a Camden kid not acting so angelic. Jennifer hurried into the den, which she did not know what was in. She went to Eric's desk and opened a drawer. She found a picture of the entire family(minus the twins). She looked at the kids and glared. She especially looked at Ruthie and violently threw the photo to the ground, breaking the glass. Then, she picked up the phone and dialed...
"What?" Ruthie asked.
"Get up. You're moving into Simon's room," Annie replied. They had put the bunk beds in Simon's room the day before because Jennifer was moving to Ruthie's room.
