Chris.C - Private Eye Patricia and the Case of the Missing Marbels

Private Eye Patricia and the Case of the Missing Marbles.

Once not to long ago on a day when the sun was bright and the sky was blue some trouble fell upon the town of Mysterioville. Now if you lived in Mysterioville you would know that when trouble strikes the Girl to call is Private Eye Patricia, this is where our story starts.

Patricia paced around the room waiting for the phone to ring. She knew that the Edward brothers, the owners of Bart and Bob’s toy Emporium would soon call. Patricia almost always knew what would happen before it happened, she was smart, very smart. That’s when the phone rang. “Hello is this Private Eye Patricia?” said Bart, the eldest Edward Brother. “Yes, this is Private Eye Patricia, Bart. I assume that you have some trouble with some toys.” Patricia said. “ Ah, I guess that you already have a hunch about my dilemma?” Questioned Bart. “Maybe” replied Patricia “I didn’t think too much about it.” “Really? I thought that you would have already finished half the case by now!” said Bart. “Don’t be silly Bart! You know that I must get more information before I start any case!” Exclaimed Patricia. “ So what happened?” Questioned Patricia “Oh, someone stole some of our marbles.” Bart said sadly. “Some of our most expensive sets.” “No problem, I’m on the case!” Said Patricia with enthusiasm.

The first place Patricia headed was the scene of the crime, Bart and Bob’s Toy Emporium. The store wasn’t very big in fact the blue, green and orange building was only a spec if you looked at it from the town telescope on top of the old time tower on Mystic mountain!

That’s where she found Bart and Bob to find out who her Prime suspects were. Bart and Bob shrunk down the list to three people, Tim Taylor, Reggie Roberts and Mark Masterson. Patricia thanked them and she was ready to leave but on her way out she found something strange under the shelf where the marbles were supposed to go. That strange something was a pink bow. “How can it be? All of the suspects are boys! What boy in his right mind would wear a pink bow!” Thought Patricia. “Darn! That means all of the suspects are clear!” Patricia said to herself in a frustrated voice. “there’s no need to get worked up. I have a the perfect suspect, but I have to be sure.” Patricia dashed out the door. She had a hunch, and she was going to solve this mystery and it was going to be soon.

Private Eye Patricia halted to a stop at Bart and Bob’s house. At the door Mrs. Edwards the boy’s mom greeted her and Patricia asked about Bart and Bob’s little sister Cindy but Mrs. Edward said that she was taking her nap. So they waited and Patricia filled her in on everything that was going on. When Cindy woke up from her nap Patricia matched hey bows. They were identical which meant that it was little Cindy took the marbles, but why? Patricia asked little Cindy why she took the marbles but Cindy only frowned and said “ What Marbles?” Mrs. Edward and Private Eye Patricia looked every where but they couldn’t find the marbles any where! They decided to go back to the toy store and look one more time. There, they found the marbles inside of little Cindy’s stroller the netting had gotten caught on the handle! No one had stolen the marbles after all! The three flew to Bart and Bob’s store and explained everything that had happened and put back the marbles that ha caused so much trouble, now everyone was happy, especially Patricia who had cracked the case again! They all celebrated but a little while later Private Eye Patricia returned to her office waiting for the phone to ring she had a hunch that the Mayors advisor would soon call. Something about the Mayor’s anniversary present……
