Help!

Chapter 12 Help! Claudia rode her bike toward me. “ What's going on, Clyde?" " I need help! " I said. “ But first, you need to put your clothes on. " Claudia pulled them from her bike pack and handed them to me. I quickly dressed. Then I ran.

" I need to catch the burglars, " I said. Claudia rode her bike behind me. " Aren't you running the wrong way, Clyde?" “ No. Because I need help. BIG help! " I said. " Like the police?" Claudia asked. " Yes, " I said. " But the burglars might be gone before the police get there. " We hurried around a corner and onto the street where we lived. " I need help from someone who's fast and not afraid of anything, " I said. " Like Principal Murphy. " I ran toward her house. " What will you tell her?" Claudia asked. " Nothing, " I said. “ There's no time to explain things to her. "

I closed my eyes and thought about super exciting things. Like flying a kite. Like climbing monkey bars. Like catching burglars with Principal Murphy's help! A wave of energy splashed through me. My head started spinning. My heart raced. Faster. And faster. I sneezed. " A-CHOO! "
