"Watch it! We shouldn't have gone right up to the house. There are the police going into the kid's house now. We should have waited and watched the kids to see where they're keeping the monkey."
"We can still just sit here and watch. We'll see what the police are going to do. That kid's mother can give a pretty good description of us. We should try and keep hidden until we find the monkey. I think we should just trail the kids - they'll probably lead us right to the monkey."
"Hey look. There's one of the kids now, coming out of the bush behind his house. Come on, let's go and see what he's got back there."
------
"Hi, Mom. I'm home."
"Chuck, come into the living room. Officer Ward is here and he'd like to speak to you."
"Hi, Officer Ward. What's up?"
"You tell me Chuck. Did you post these signs around the park and down on Main Street?"
"Sure. Charlie and I found a monkey. We took him to the Wild Animal Park, but he doesn't belong there, he's a trained monkey."
"Yes, I know. Where is he now?"
"We made a little bed for him out back in our fort. We're just waiting to hear is someone lost him. Did anyone phone?"
"Nobody phoned, but we have reason to believe that two men assaulted and tried to rob Gordon Barton yesterday. He just happens to own a pet monkey, who just happened to disappear during the break-in."
To be continued.
