Rebekah--Girl Detective #5
Page 3
"Mrs. Konti," Rebekah called out, trying to get her teacher's attention.
"Shh!" she said sharply to Rebekah and gave her an annoyed look.
Rebekah pursed her lips and raised her hand. She waited, hoping that either her teacher or the tour guide would call on her. But Mrs. Konti was standing just in front of her, blocking her from view. The group began to move on to another section of the tour. Mouse was following, until Rebekah grabbed his book bag and pulled him backward.
"Mouse, please," she said. "I have to show you something!"
"What is it?" Mouse asked as he adjusted his book bag and got his balance.
"Look, the gems in this display are missing!" she said with a frown.
"Oh no," he tilted his head slightly to the side. "Are you sure they're not just invisible?"
"Of course they're not invisible," Rebekah said with a sigh. "The sign doesn't say anything about them being invisible."
"Oh," he nodded a little. "Well, I'm sure they'll turn up."
"No they won't," Rebekah said firmly. "Not if we don't find them."
"Rebekah," Mouse sighed. "We can't get in trouble today, okay?"
"Trouble?" Rebekah crossed her arms. "I suppose ignoring the theft of gems would be okay, as long as we don't get into trouble?"
"Right," Mouse nodded sharply and started to walk back toward the group.
"Mouse, get back here!" Rebekah demanded. "I need your camera to take pictures of the evidence."
Mouse turned back with a sigh. Rebekah was his best friend, and he wasn't going to let her get into trouble without him, that was for sure.
"Here, just get it out of my bag," he said and turned around so that she could unzip it. Rebekah pulled out the camera. She scrunched up her nose as she brushed off a few tidbits of cheese.
"What are you going to take a picture of?" Mouse asked. "There's nothing there."
"I'm going to take a picture of what isn't there," she replied with a smile. She snapped the photograph. Then she flipped the camera over and using the tools, she expanded the picture so that it was much larger than even the naked eye could see.
"Look," she pointed to the indents in the cushion that would have held the gems. "Now we can see what size they were, so that if we spot someone with them, we will know if they are the right ones."
"Good thinking!" Mouse exclaimed and smiled proudly at Rebekah. Even though it wasn't always easy to be swept up into her mysteries, it was always fun!
"Now we just have to figure out who took them," Rebekah said sternly. "If the museum staff won't listen, then we will have to do their job for them."
