Chapter 14 Teeny

I helped them up the wall and in through the window since I was good at climbing. We came out inside on the second floor.

"I think the door is this way," I whispered, wishing that we could turn the lights on. It was cold and dark.

We found a locked door labeled "Janitor's closet."

"Where's the key?" Sally asked.

"Stay here," I ordered. I crept down the stairs and walked right into the store.

"Whoa! Who are you and why are you here?" Nook asked.

"I'm Timmy. I got stuck in the bathroom and only just got out," I lied.

"Oh, well the store is closed," he informed me.

"All right," I said. Then I fell and while I was falling to the ground I secretly grabbed Nook's key, which was hanging on his belt loop.

"Sorry! I tripped. Well, goodbye!" I said brightly. It had been a fake fall of course, but it was quite good acting!

I walked outside and climbed up the wall again. I was getting very tired of climbing!

I surprised everyone when I climbed into the room with the key in hand.

"What? How'd you…huh….what?" Hugo stammered.

I just smiled an unlocked the door.

Ana and Emily, Vivian and Celeste ran out.

"Now we just have to get out of here…" I whispered.

"I don't think so!" A door slammed and a familiar voice boomed.
