The Case of the Missing Pointer
It was a warm morning, the sun had barely risen as we approached the Albertson Learning Center. Here Police Chief Schmeling gave us the case of the missing English Pointer Stevie. We were given a few leads to investigate, the first we had to identify what an English Pointer looked like. To find it when approached the Reference Center on the first floor and asked the polite woman behind the desk to help us find Encyclopedia of the Dog. Here we found a clue the napper left behind, the letter “E”.
We believed these letters would reveal where Stevie was being held captive. An anonymous source approached us with a possible witness. The mystery man told us we needed to speak to a shark. We searched for the shark in the most likely place we could find one, the Museum of Natural Resources. There we found our informant shark who gave us our second major breakthrough, the letter “H”. With how close we were getting we could sense the fear in the napper.
The last hint the shark gave us was to search the current school newspaper for a note left by the napper. From there our team of detectives went off to the periodical section to try and find the latest paper. At first we couldn’t find it but after asking the kind assistant we found the paper we required immediately and also found the letter “C”.
From there we got our next hint, Stevie was looking for some CD’s to listen to just before he was abducted so we set off to investigate the CD section. While investigating the CD section we found the letter “V” and another major clue.
We were informed that a sketch of the napper could be found in the library on the fourth floor. When we arrived there the sketch of the perp revealed we were looking for a cat. We also found The letter “A” and yet another clue.
As we began searching for the perp, an important telegraph came in. The perp was holding a walrus hostage! We needed to rush to the zoology section. We rush up the stairs to the Archives, briskly walked past them until we hit bright green shelves on the left hand side. We were then able to see the zoology section and the hostage! Unfortunately, the perp had escaped but the hostage was unharmed. We took him to safety and began to treat his wounds, as we were finishing up he reached into his pocket and pulled out the letter “R”. As he placed it in our hands, he told us the perp had fled to the 6th floor near government documents. When we reached the correct section, we were directed to find the documents from the Smithsonian Institution.
Once we located the aforementioned documents we also found the letters “S” and “I” these were our final letters needed to know where Stevie was. We then returned to the station to decode the mystery letters the napper left us. We quickly discovered the letters could be combined to form the word “ARCHIVES” so we rushed again back to the sixth floor to rescue Stevie. Once we reached the archives we were relieved to find Stevie alive and well.
