Chapter 5

Chapter 5 "We forgot to ask her where she lives," said Dirt. Sugar was pacing back and forth in the coop. "We're going to follow her," said Sugar. "Why didn't we just go with her?" asked Dirt. "I don't trust her," said Sugar. "Why not?" asked Dirt. "Never trust a weird blue chicken," said Sugar. She shook her head. "You've got a lot to learn, little sis. It's a tough world out there. Nothing is as it seems." "I'm pretty sure she's a blue jay," said Dirt, "not a weird blue chicken." "Pipe down," said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." "Um... she's not here anymore," said Dirt. "Right," said Sugar. "C'mon, let's go. I don't want to lose her trail." "What should I do?" asked Sweetie.

"Stay in the shoe," said Sugar. "In case another client comes in." "Got it," said Sweetie. A moment later she asked, "What should I do if another client does come in?" "Tell them to make an appointment," said Sugar. "Then get back in the shoe." "Got it," said Sweetie. Sugar and Dirt walked side by side. They made a left turn, staying close to the shadows. Then they made another left turn. They walked single file against the back wall. They made another left turn. "Now what?" asked Dirt. "Turn left," said Sugar.

They turned left. "We are right back where we started," said Dirt. "Exactly," said Sugar. "Look behind you." Dirt looked over her shoulder. "I don't see anything," said Dirt.

"Exactly," said Sugar. "Now we know we're not being followed." "Wow," said Dirt. "That was really smart." "Stick with me, kid," said Sugar. "I know how the world works." "Can I come with you guys?" Dirt and Sugar turned around to find the little blue bird right behind them. "Weird Blue Chicken! Where did you come from?" asked Sugar. "I followed you," said the little bird. "How?" asked Sugar. "I stayed low. Kept my head down. Walked only in the shadows. And didn't attract any attention."

A slow smile spread across Sugar's face. "You're a fast learner." "But why did you follow us?" asked Dirt.
