"Hi!" squeaked the little furry mouse. "Don't be scared of me. I'm Ellie, the mouse!"
Katie just stared at the mouse while Kevin responded by saying, "Do you live here? Did you witness the Mona Lisa being stolen?"
Ellie nodded, "Oh yes! Actually I live right under where the Mona Lisa used to hang! Follow me, I will show you my house and where the Mona Lisa used to be too! I'm warning you BE CAREFUL!"
Ellie led the two adventurous children down a narrow, dark hallway which seemed to be deserted for weeks. They finally reached a small room. The walls were painted gold with massive, colorful stained glass windows. When the light came in it looked truly beautiful, "and that's why I live here," said Ellie with content.
Katie and Kevin looked behind them, and all they saw was a note on the wall where the Mona Lisa used to hang. In messy handwriting, it said, "I Have The Mona Lisa. Don't Even Try..." Kevin thought the thief must have written that and looked down. He saw a pen on the floor with red ink. Both kids were terrified and started to regret their decision to find the Mona Lisa. Katie stopped Kevin and whispered shaking, "Don't pick it up it up. It could be dangerous!"
Kevin whispered back, "This was your idea, and it's our only proof."
Kevin picked it up. Katie heard a little squeak. Ellie was gone. Katie understood how he felt. Kevin sighed holding the pen, "Let's go! Mom and dad will start getting worried soon."
