"Hello, hello, Spongenerd!" said Bubblebass. "I bet I can guess what you're here for. You're here to….. help me get my wallet back!"
"Your wallet was stolen too?" said Spongebob. "I guess we're after the same thief, Bubblebass. This guy must have stolen even more wallets! Oh my gosh! Pat, we'll be heroes! The police will put our pictures on the wall with a plaque that says "Spongebob and Patrick: busted the long-hunted-for wallet thief." Pat, we'll be famous! This is our lucky day. I need to go home and get prepared. See you later Patrick! Wait a minute…. I'm missing my shift at the Krusty Krab! I need to get there, pronto!"
Spongebob sped as fast as he could to the Krusty Krab. He hoped Mr. Krabs would understand why he was late; he'd just tell him the story about his missing wallet. Spongebob was sure that Mr. Krabs would let it slide, just once. He rushed through the door to find the restaurant…..empty.
"I'll just sneak in without anyone knowing," whispered Spongebob. As he tiptoed quietly to the kitchen window, he saw Squidward struggling to make a Krabby Patty.
"Squidward, where's Mr. Krabs?" asked Spongebob.
"In the bathroom, dummy!" yelled Squidward. "Now leave me ALONE!"
"I'll just leave the note on his desk," said Spongebob. He then walked into his boss's office to put the note on the desk, and it was at this moment that Spongebob found his wallet.
