Ok the information we have so far is a bit helpful "Logan says"
How? "Kendall and James say confused"
With some experimenting. It's time to use my Crime Catchers Spy Science Kit. "Logan says excitedly" Listen up Carlos said he wasn't in the art room at 3:30. We just have to question all the kids who go in there at that time for art club. I know a few kids who do. Johnny Jones is in social studies with me. He sits two desks behind me. He's got a temper but not enough to frame anyone. We should still ask him what he knows. TJ Wilks is the president of the debate team. Lorenzo Gonzalez is the team captain of the wrestle team. All these boys have reputations for pranking students and teachers
How do you know all that? "James says surprised"
Gabby Gomez loves to gossip. I'm not trying listen but she's very loud in the hallways and at the carpool lane "Logan says"
Let's nab us some suspects "Kendall says"
We have to do this carefully Kenny. We can't just outright accuse them or they'll never talk "Logan says"
You're right. I'm just really worried about Carlos. He's never been in trouble in school before. Not a degree of being suspended. If he really is found guilty it'll crush his sweet beautiful soul. He's already a nervous wreck about this waiting at his house. He's counting on us. We can't let him down. He's an awesome kid. What kind of soulless monster would do this to him? "Kendall says"
I have no idea but you're right. We're gonna do everything we can to set things right "Logan says"
We're wasting valuable time. Come on "James says impatiently"
They find the students they need and bring them to the art room*
What did you guys see while you were in art club? "Logan says"
You better not lie to us "James says balling his fists"
James! "Kendall and Logan says"
We saw Carlos come in here "TJ says"
Did you actually see his face? "Logan says"
No "Johnny says"
How do you know it was him? "Logan says"
We heard his voice "Lorenzo says"
What exactly did he say? "Logan says"
lo hice. tengo mi venganza "Johnny says"
Oh no! "Logan says"
What's wrong? What does that translate to? "Kendall says"
It means I did it. I got my revenge "Logan says extremely concerned"
This is bad "James says"
I'm gonna check that helmet for finger prints "Logan says and does the task"
How are you gonna know if it's Carlos' fingerprints? "Johnny says"
I asked Carlos to text me a pic of his fingerprints on a piece of paper so I can analyze the match "Logan says and starts comparing the data then panics"
What's wrong? "Kendall says"
It's a…*gulps* match "Logan says now freaking out"
This is really really bad "James says"
Logan's phone rings. He's so startled he nearly drops it* H-Hey Carlos
Carlos: Please tell me you have some good news Logie
sighs* We don't "Logan says" I did an analysis on the fingerprints from the helmet to the pic you sent me and it's a match. Lorenzo, TJ and Johnny are all in art club and claim they "saw and heard you" but never got a look of your face. And Johnny said you said lo hice. tengo mi venganza
Why would I want revenge? I'm not mad at anyone. I'm telling you what I told you earlier I wasn't in the art room at 3:30. I was with Mr. Harrington making flash cards. I've the paper cuts to prove it. Go ask him. He'll say I was in his classroom "Carlos says"
Ok buddy we'll do that "Logan says" I'll call you back in 5 minutes *Hangs up*
Thanks for the help guys "Kendall says"
It's making little progress "James says"
He, Logan and Kendall run all the way to Mr. Harrington's class and try to open the door*
It's locked! "Logan says and calls Carlos"
That was way faster than 5 minutes. That's good right? "Carlos says full of hope"
Unfortunately the door is locked "Logan says"
No,no,no! He must've gone home! He was my only key witness! Now there's no doubt I'm guilty! "Carlos says and starts crying hysterically"
Carlos buddy. Calm down. We have one more day to solve this "Logan says"
I give up Logie "Carlos says and hang a up*
Logan, Kendall and James sigh then go home*
Thursday during the morning announcements the school news team is on the tv in every classroom*
Here's the latest fashion report from Mariah De La Fontaine "Rebecca says"
Thank you Rebecca "Mariah says" Recently I had a fashion disaster. I couldn't get corn starch out of my favorite shirt. So I used a cool trick I learned from my tante which is French for aunt. Since my shirt wad made out of cotton she told me I could try soaking it in water which has alpha-amylase. The enzyme will break the starch down into simpler sugars
Did it work? "Rebecca says"
Yep it looks as good as the day I bought it "Mariah says"
Awesome. Now onto a more sensitive subject. How are you holding up with your art project being destroyed? "Rebecca says"
I'm doing better knowing that tomorrow Carlos Garcia will be held accountable for his actions and will finally be seen as an untrustworthy student who goes around crushing dreams "Mariah says"
Logan, Kendall and James roll their eyes angrily at her false accusations and pretending to act sad*
Later that afternoon at Carlos' house*
She called me untrustworthy and a dream crusher?! "He says in disbelief" Oh my gosh she's really out to get me! All the bullies in school will tear me to shreds for "upsetting a girl" I'm gonna die before I'm 13!!
No you're not relax. Something Mariah said this morning really got me. Something that might help solve everything "Logan says"
Really? "Kendall says"
What is it? "James says"
I'm not sure yet. I gotta go home. I need some time to gather my thoughts and figure this out "Logan says"
He, Kendall and James leave*
