Monkey Business

Chapter 14 Monkey Business After school, Claudia and I rode our bikes to the science museum. We hurried to the room where they kept the Golden Monkey. It was back where it belonged! Thanks to me. Or rather, thanks to the monkey me.

" You did it, Clyde, " Claudia said. " And you helped, too, " I said. My sister didn't tell me how she had used the school's speaker system without getting caught. But I'm glad she did. I bounced as I looked at the Golden Monkey. I was excited to see it. I was also excited about being in the museum. “ Calm down, Clyde! " Claudia said. I looked around. “ Why?" I asked. Claudia grabbed my shoulder. “ Because changing into a monkey makes you -" " Special! " I said. “ It's how I can use my extra energy to do something good. It's my superpower! "

“ Oh, brother! " Claudia sighed. " It's how I can help keep the world safe, " I said. " Like I did by rescuing Miss Plum. And by catching the Golden Monkey thief. " I grinned. " And next time -" " Next time?" Claudia's hand slipped off my shoulder. " But first I have some unfinished business. " I raced out of the Golden Monkey room. " Some unfinished monkey business, " I said. “ Clyde! " Claudia chased after me.

I ran down the museum hallway. I slid around a corner. My head started spinning. My heart raced. Faster. And faster. I sneezed. " A-CHOO! " TA-DAH! CLYDE! STOP! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

AND WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY UNFINISHED MONKEY BUSINESS? UH-OH! CLYDE! !
