Chapter 1
It's not like it's my fault the senior high rise was having an inspection. It's not my fault I was dying of boredom, but no. The universe had to make the inspection the day I had no plans.
So I was just cruising Maine and Broadway, dying of boredom, until I finally decided to go to the mall. I asked absolutely everyone if I could hang out with them, but Holly's at the Humane Society, Dot lives too far away, and Marissa won't pick up her cell-phone.
I could ask Casey, but it's hard to keep up a friendship when our parents are dating, his sister is my arch enemy, and we kissed last week.
At this rate, I'm willing to call Heather to see if she wants to hang out. OK. Not really.
I was just sitting on a bench doing nothing, and then Marissa showed up, panting.
"Where have you been?" she panted, "I've been looking for you everywhere!"
"What a coincidence, I've been avoiding you everywhere," I lied.
"Really? Never mind." She handed me a newspaper. "Read this."
I hardly glanced at the paper when I asked, "Marissa? You read the newspaper?"
"Sammy!"
"OK, fine, I'll read it." I took a look and saw a picture of almost every criminal I've caught in the past year, from Oscar to Caesar.
"Where did you get this? When did this happen? Why didn't you call me sooner?" I ask franticly.
"I just found out. I've running around town looking for you everywhere." She answered.
"I'm going to Hudson's; you want to come with me?" I asked.
"No, I can't. Mikey and I are staying over at my parents this week" she almost cried.
"At your parents? Never mind. I'll drop by later." Then I ran out of the mall and sped down to Hudson's.
Unsurprisingly, Hudson was sitting on his porch watching the world go by. He saw me and stood up.
"Hey Hudson."
"Sammy! How is your grandmother?" I didn't even answer. I just showed him the front cover of the newspaper.
"I'll get some ice tea," he asserts.
I sat in my chair and waited. Hudson came back with tray of brownies along with the ice tea.
"So, what's going on?" I handed him the newspaper.
After he read it, he put down the newspaper and said, "Well, this is a problem isn't it." He didn't have time to give me advice, because a police car appeared in front of Hudson's house.
Officer Borsch came out of the car.
Here we go.
