On the way to the museum, Katie was still anxious and worried. She questioned how two siblings and a mouse would be able to find the Mona Lisa. Kevin was thinking the same thing but kept his feelings to himself not wanting to look like a coward. Interrupting their thoughts, their mom asked, "Why are you two so quiet today?"
"We're just thinking about the assignment," lied Kevin quickly. "What's wrong with that?"
The car pulled up to the expansive parking lot filled with cars. "We're here! Also, I got these brand new notebooks for you to take notes," said their mom cheerfully. Katie couldn't help but feel guilty. Their mom wasted money just to buy them new notebooks when they didn't even need them. But she knew it would all be over once they solved the mystery of the Mona Lisa.
As they walked into the entrance, the family was instantly reminded of the museum's beauty. "Wow! Look up you two! You know what that's called? It's called a mural. Write it down in your notes!" Mom exclaimed excitedly. Rolling their eyes, Katie and Kevin pretended to scribble words in their notebook.
"Mom, the report's due soon. We really need to get going," said Kevin as he pulled Katie toward the spot where they last found Ellie. Their mom smiled sweetly watching her two kids scamper away. "Meet me back here at lunch time. There's a great restaurant near here I thought we could try!"
Katie and Kevin ignored her since their mind was too occupied to think about food.
