Ch. 12 The Real Thief

The next morning, Katie and Kevin discussed their next steps in solving the case. Kevin finally came up with an idea and announced, "Katie, how about we go to the Louve again and show Ellie the mugshot. He can tell us if that's what the thief actually looked like." Katie nodded in agreement.

The two kids ran to their parents room and woke them up. Their parents woke up startled. "Mom,  can we go to the Louve?" asked Katie.

"Why do you want to go there? I thought you two were finished with your projects. Anyways, I already have some errands to do," replied Katie and Kevin's mom. 

Kevin answered, "While we were doing the project, we saw some other paintings, and Katie and I want to explore them more! Also, you can drop us off at the museum while you two do your errands." Their mom agreed. 

Two hours later, the twins were dropped off at their destination. They ran into the museum and walked over to the little hole Ellie lived in. Ellie, hearing their voices, popped right out. "Where have you two been?" squeaked Ellie. 

"We went to a forensic scientist yesterday. We now know the name that belongs to the finger prints on the pen. We also have his mugshot! This may be the thief," replied Katie holding up the picture. Ellie's eyes lit up in excitement, and he started jumping up and down squeaking.

"I know him!" exclaimed Ellie. 

"Is this the guy who stole the painting?" Kevin and Katie inquired at the same time. Ellie nodded.
