6. Scar Finger

Chapter 6 Scar Finger "Clues to what?" Nate asked. "We want to find Douglas's owner, right?" Bradley said. He pointed at the hand holding the tiny rabbit. "If this is his owner's hand, maybe we can find out who it is!" They all stared at the picture. Bradley's mother reached over and pointed with her mixing spoon. "Well, we can tell that it's a man's right hand," she said. "Boy, he has hairy knuckles!" Nate said. "And he's got a scar on his little finger," Lucy put in. The kids bent closer to the picture. "The scar is shaped like the letter C," Bradley said.

"Cool," Nate said. "Now we just have to find a hairy guy with that scar on his right pinkie." "Lots of luck," Brian said. Lucy studied the picture showing Douglas on a patch of grass. "He must live somewhere with a lawn," she said. "And tall hedges." "That's about half the yards in Green Lawn," Nate said. "Even we have hedges!" Bradley took a closer look at the picture. "He grows vegetables," he said. "See, those are tomatoes." Bradley's mother set four mugs and a bag of marshmallows on the table. "Careful, it's hot!" she said. They thanked Mrs. Pinto and took noisy sips. "Well, we'll never find the vegetable garden," Brian said. He pointed out the kitchen window. "There's a foot of snow in everyone's yard." "What about other clues?" Lucy asked. She picked up the picture that showed Douglas sitting on the wooden bench. "Are there any benches like this in Green Lawn?"

Bradley studied the picture. "Guys, I don't think this is a bench," he said. "Then what is it?" Brian asked, taking the picture. "I think it's a seat in a rowboat," Bradley said. "See the water behind it? And that's not a railing, it's the outside of the boat." Bradley opened a drawer under the counter. He pulled out a magnifying glass and held it over the picture. "It says S-K-I on the side of the boat," he said. Brian grinned. "Ron's Bait Shop has boats for rent," he said. "Ron's last name is Pinkowski, and people call him Ski." "Awesome!" Nate said. "Let's go ask him if he knows anyone with a rabbit." "It's February," Brian said. "Mr. Pinkowski rents out boats in the summertime." Bradley shook his head. "He sells bait for ice fishing, too." He grabbed the three pictures. "What are we waiting for?" he asked.
