The Gold Coin

The next morning I went to interrogate Claire to her house. Claire greeted me with a nervous smile. I started questioning her and there she started fiddling with her skirt. It was strange. I didn't get any important clues, but I knew this thing had to do with her. I decided to go on with my investigation.

The next step was the Super Coin Shop. When I got there neither Mr.Chris or Mr.Terry were there so I started looking for something that I wasn't sure what it was. First I looked on the table, then on the trash, then on the back room and finally on the floor. Nothing. That day I didn't have the luck on my side, but then I remembered the piece of paper that I had found the other day.

I looked and there it was, where I had left it yesterday, in my bag. I read: "Dear Kelly we know that your boyfriend wants to go with you for Valentines Day to Hawai. We want to trade with you. If you have the courage to take the gold coin FROM it's jar for two days we will pay the money of the two of you for your day in Hawai. Do you want?? Claire and Margaret. " And then with a different letter it said "OK, TODAY!!"

I thought for a minute and then I understood all the letter! The next thing I did was call Claire, Kelly and Margaret, and tell them that I wanted to meet them at the COOLING BAR because I had to talk to them urgently. Half an hour later the four of us were seated in a corner of the bar. Each one with one different drink in their hands. I got the paper out of my bag and showed it to the girls. They all opened their mouths and were very nervous. "Why didn't you tell me??"I told Claire.

They didn't answer, so we went to the shop, and there they were. Mr.Terry and Mr.Chris discussing something. But when I turned to see the jar it was in perfect conditions and the golden coin was there. Then I remembered, it was only for two days!! So they aproched and I told what had happen. A trade was a trade so Kelly and Claire had to give all their money for Margaret and Terry to spend it in the trip.

One week later it all went to normal again, I was solving more mysteries, Claire and Kelly were in the shopping, Mr.Chris did coin work and Mr.Terry and Margaret were on their honey moon trip.

Mysterious Prints

I looked for Fang, and I saw him outside AT the entrance of the deep forest. I didn't want to go in there, but I had to win this case. I approached him and started chasing him but he didn't notice me! LUCKY ME! It was a long way. When I got to the shack, again, I didn't want to enter. I needed this grade! I said to myself: "Ian if I'm not winning I'm going to have a bad grade" When I entered, Fang realised that I was there and started barking! I gave him the sandwich that I had in the bag inside my pocket, after that he kept quiet. He went through the containers and disappeared. Then silence.

After thOSE little barkings were heard from the back of the room. I approached the back of the shack and I didn't believe what I saw!! Fang and Susi had had 6 beautiful puppies!!! That was why Fang had stolen my teacher's sandwich! I went rushing to school to tell my teacher that I had solved the mystery!!!

When I got there I had no breath, but I rushed where my teacher and friends were and I started telling them all the complete story that had happened to me! They didn't believe me, so we went through the wood to the shack, and there they were! My teacher, my friends and I couldn't believe it!

A week later we had given each puppy a lovely name WHICH WAS perfect for them!! The creepy mine shack was not creepy any more, because we had painted it with shocking colours. There they lived: Fang, Susi, Lula, Santi, Paco, Mika, Sam, and Lola! And we were solving more and more mysteries, cause that's what we loved to do!

A Rainy Night in New York

Eddie Morino paced the night-time streets of New York, lost amongst his own thoughts. He did not know where he was walking, he just needed to get out and let his mind and legs wander. He peered through the driving rain, which was so common in New York City at this time of year. He noticed the lights of a thousand cars and the colours of hundreds of neon shop signs, bright, in his face. He saw how the images shimmered in the ever-growing puddles at his feet. It was these images that helped him in times like this. He had been working on a case now for two weeks and his clues seemed to have dried up. The reflections in the puddles changed, took on new shapes as people and cars caused the water to ripple. To Eddie, this change, this new angle, helped him look at the facts in a new way. It all began like this.

I was having breakfast when the phone rang.   It was Sophie, the zoo's owner. She told me that yesterday she had had an important meeting with a group of men to see the Black Bear, wHich had come the day before, from Mexico. But when they arrived to the Black Bear's cave, he didn't come. They started calling him, because they thought that he was asleep, but still, he didn't come. They realized that he really wasn't anywHere!   So I started investigating the case.

  I was going to my office through an alley when a black hair attracted my attention. This was a clue, I thought to myself and headed right away to the lab. The next thing I did was writting a report of the missing bear. After that, I did an ADN of the hair, it was of a BEAR!! I felt very happy!

I went to the zoo and interviwed Sophie, and she said that the boy that knew the bear very well, hadn't gone to work anymore after the bear disappeared .

Then the most important clue popped to my head! I remembered that a circus had come to town and needed a bear for the show!  So then I knew who had stolen the bear! The circus's owner! And I knew exactly where he was! In the alley that I had found the bear's hair! I entered and told him all the story and accused him.

Then he confessed that he had it, but a man had sold it to him and that he wanted to say it but he was afraid that I might put him in jail.   He said that he knew where he lived, so they went to his house.

  The bear was again in his cave.  That man was in jail. I went to see the circus, because Sophie had lent the bear to do the performance!

an excellent story and very creative!!!!! MISS ALE-17/04

The beautiful jewel

I decided to go for an evening stroll. I walked about three blocks when I felt it, the jewel was in my pocket. I was going to take it out of my pocket to look at it, but I was afraid that someone was near me, ready to turn me in to the police. I just couldn’t stand it anymore, and I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at it. The shining light it gave off hypnotized me. I just kept staring. I heard it say to me before I lost consciousness “Don’t worry Alexia. I’ll find you and seek you out!”

    I woke up in the hospital room and saw the jewel in my backpack. Then I went home and my mom was furious. I told her that it was no ordinary jewel that the police took away from me while I was unconscious - it was uncontrollable.

    The jewel should be kept somewhere special, but I didn’t know where. For whoever had it was doomed to death. I knew I had to do something about it, and put it somewhere, but where?

    The next day when I went to school I was desperate. I had to find a place to put my beautiful jewel! I couldn't stand it, so I went where Mary, my best friend, was and I told her all the story. She couldn't believe it! But, I had made a mistake.  I went through all the classrooms and all the secret rooms that the school had. Anyone was safe enough.

When the bell rang for us to go to our houses, I rushed outside and went running to my house. There I went straight to my room, and spread on my bed. I was very tired. When I caught up with my breath I looked for my secret diary. I wrote and wrote. When I finally finished I put the beautiful and precious jewel in my secret and most safe of my boxes. There it was safe, I thought...

The next day when I came to school, a surprise was in the front door. A serious looking man was standing there. I saw Mary was standing next to him. Bad news. Mary had told my secret to all the school. They told me that the man knew all.  He wanted the jewel. I had no choice.  The next day I came with the jewel and gave it to him. The only question is why had I had it in my bag in the hospital? I don't remember anything.

It's still a mystery...

                                                               The beautiful jewel!

John didn't know where he was. He looked out of the window, but nothing seemed familiar. The room was strange too. He didn't recognise any of the furniture. And his clothes, although they were a good fit, surely didn't belong to him? He'd never had a yellow shirt. Or a brown check jacket.

   As he sat on the padded wooden stool trying to puzzle out answers to all these questions, he slowly became aware of something in the back pocket of his trousers. Something hard. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled it out.

   It was an invitation that said that I had to go to the Licorce Park at 8:00 pm, and if I didn't go I would be sorry.

Now I started remembering all. I had a vey beautiful, lovely and precious jewel.

I went to the Plaza at 8:00 pm and someone grabbed me and told me that I had to give her the jewel. I was afraid so I gave her the jewel. When I gave it to her I saw a book in her handbag that said "Alexia Courtdaight, St. Mary's School." After that I don't remember what happened next but I think that nothing.

Now Im here. And Im determined about something, I want my jewel back. I knew her school!! I started going up some staircases, when I saw the light! I finally was on earth!!  So I made up a plan. Tomorrow morning I'll pretend I am a famous detective, and Im going to say that I know all, so she'll have to give back my jewel! Perfect plan!!!

The next day, I went to St: Mary's School, and there she was, in the staircase. I went dressed up as a detective and told her that I knew all about the jewel. She said the next day she would bring me the jewel at the same time .

The next morning    I went rushing to school. She gave me my jewel and running away!!!!

I think that when I grow up I m gonna be a detective... Some day...

LET ME KNOW AND i CAN BE YOUR ASSISTANT!!! VERY GOOD AGUS!!! YOU HAVE SHOWN DEDICATION, STEADY WORK AND AN EXCELLENT COMMITMENT! MISS ALE 17/04
