The mystery of the
Missing parrot
By: Tyler Nichols
In a faraway place there were two kids named Tyler and Doug who wanted to be detectives all of their lives. After solving a few mysteries Tyler and Doug became detectives. One day they were sitting in their office when the chief came in and announced that they had a mystery to solve. “There is a man named Jeff who’s parrot Sylvester got stolen last night. We are putting it in your hands to capture the criminal and to bring back Sylvester.” The Chief said.
So Tyler and Doug went to Jeff’s house
to look for clues. While
“Our criminal must have been wearing
gloves or not touched the sides of the cage at all because there were no finger
prints in the cage and it was in perfect condition.”
“That’s
interesting.” Doug said. Soon they pulled up at the local Burger King, ordered
lunch and sat down. They were talking when
“I know a guy who doesn’t like birds
very much who might be our guy, he lives in
Let’s do it.” Doug added. Tyler and
Doug were back on the road again, this time headed for
Doug went up to the door and rung the
doorbell. A man that looked about 10 feet tall and about 600 lbs. answered the
door.
“Are
you George?” Doug politely asked. “Yes.”George said “What do you want?”
We
are here to question you.”
Question
me?” George said with a puzzled look on his face.
“There
was a young man named Jeff who’s parrot got stolen two
days ago.” Doug said. “And we are on his case.”
“And
I know you don’t like birds.”
“Well
come in I have nothing to hide.” George said opening the door wider so they
could enter. They sat down on two of
George’s sofas that were facing each other and started the questioning.
“I
will be questioning you and
“Let’s
just get this over with.” George said dryly.
“Let’s
begin.” Doug said, “My first question is if you stole any birds recently.”
“No.”
George said.
“I
don’t think he is the criminal.”
“Ok.”
Doug whispered back. “My second question is if you know anyone who doesn’t like
birds.”
“You
mean GROB?” George inquired. “What’s GROB?” Doug asked.
“GROB
stands for Get Rid Of Birds.” George responded
“What
is GROB a club or something?” Doug asked.
“Exactly,”
George said quickly.
“In
that case could we have a list of its members?” Doug said.
“Share,
if it might help you solve this mystery.” George said and with that he went to
fetch a list of GROB members. Two minutes later George came back with a list of
GROB members. The list had all of the names and their addresses. The members were
Marly, George, Fred, Bob, Mary, and Joe.
After
thanking George for the information
“Who’s
next?” Doug asked
“George.”
“We
were just there.” Doug said
“Oh yeah.”
“OK.”
Doug said They asked the same questions to Fred as
they did Marly. Fred was also found innocent. Bob and Mary were as well found
innocent. Then the detectives came upon the last house, Joe’s house. They went
in and started the questioning.
“My
fist question is if you have any birds hidden around the house.” Doug asked
“N-n-no.” Joe said impatiently.
“And
if you did were?” Doug added.
“I
have two things to say, one, I didn’t do it, two, If I did I would hide them in
my basement, not around the house.” Joe said and those words were the words
that gave it away.
“Then
could we see your basement?”
“No
it is off limits to all visiters.” Joe promptly said.
“We
are working with the police here, so it is a good idea to show us your
basement.”
”Fine.”
Joe grumpily said.
“I
think we have our man.” Doug said. Joe showed Tyler and Doug a hidden trap door
that led to his basement. As soon as the trap door was open a crack the
detectives could see that it was pitch black and they could hear at least 15
birds chirping very loudly.
“We
are placing you under arrest for domestic violence.”
In court Joe was found guilty and was
sentenced to 15 years in prison. Sylvester went on to lead a wonderful life.
