Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Inspector Flytrap! Welcome!" I looked up... Who could possibly be glad to see me? It was Penguini! "Please come around to the back," he said. "My restaurant has been destroyed, but my trash cans are still full of delicious trash... and flies! Your table is ready for you in the alley, and your beautiful date has just arrived." My date! I had forgotten all about her! "And Nina... your date is here, too!" said Penguini.

Nina pushed me around to the trash cans as fast as she could. A little too fast, really! I barely had time to straighten my tie and uncrumple my leaves. Penguini poured some sparkling water into our pots, and Wanda and I gazed into each other's eyes. In the distance, the police, the President, the President's mom, and the entire United States military continued their search. And we lived happily ever after.
