Chapter 3: Tyler:
Nancy's POV:
We were checking out that cage. "You might wanna watch your step," says this man, "I haven't cleaned up the poop yet."
"Who are you," I asked.
"I'm Tyler Mack, I clean up after the animals."
"That sounds like the worst job ever," says George.
"I think they do this to me because I'm gender-blind," says Tyler.
"For the record, me and Shaun are dudes and the other three are girls," says Ned.
He then looks at Ned. "That's not what gender-blind means, you dingbat," says Tyler, "it means I'm pansexual! I know the difference between a boy and a girl! You have to be literally blind to not know!"
"Well, this just got awkward," I said, "hey, do you know anything that happened?"
"It happened while I was cleaning up after the cobras," says Tyler, "I did see Owen acting suspicious, but I could've been mistaken."
I then looked down. "Thank you for your time," I said, "we gotta go."
. . .
"So, what's up," asks Ned.
"I'm not sure Tyler was being that honest," I said, "his shoes look too brand new to have been in the cobra exhibit. I think we need to keep an eye on him!"
. . .
We were secretly following Tyler. We hid behind books. "This dude sure walks a lot," says Ned.
"He's going into that rhino exhibit," says Bess.
Tyler then stops and looks in our direction. Tyler then enters the exhibit.
"So far, he hasn't done anything suspicious," I said.
. . .
We were about to leave the zoo, but...
"SOMEONE LET THE RHINO OUT!"
"That might be a good clue," says George.
