Chapter 6

Chapter 6 It was a big steal—I mean, deal! A whole squad of police officers showed up with police cars, a police helicopter, and a police boat. (Since there was no water nearby, they had to tow the boat behind one of the cars.) Worst of all was the police goat wagon! They loaded Nina in it and took her away... to jail! "Nina! I'll solve the crime! Don't eat their police hat—they don't like that. I'll get you out of jail!" I called. In a moment it was all over. Sergeant Sniff and the police were gone. The Countess and her butler were gone. And, of course, Nina was gone. Everybody was gone! Except for a sloth reading a newspaper. "Gee...," said the sloth, slowly. "I'd call this... one of the World's Greatest... Mysteries!"

"You're right!" I cried. "And I, Inspector Flytrap, swear that I will not stop until I have solved it!" "Okay," said the sloth, slowly. "See you... later." "OH NO!" I cried. "I just realized that I can't solve the mystery." "The criminal is... too smart for you?" the sloth asked. "Of course not!" I yelled. "But without Nina, I can't GO anywhere!" "I... could... push you," said the sloth, slowly. "Really?" I asked. "That is so kind of you!"

"Sure," said the sloth, slowly. "Where do you want to go?" I realized that I didn't know where to go! I needed to track down the actual gold pickle thief. And the real gold pickle thief was obviously a Master Criminal! But Master Criminals are really good at hiding, which is what makes them Master Criminals. I had gotten the world's greatest mystery I had always wanted, but now I had no idea who did it, how to find them, or even where to start looking!
