Ch. 13 Ellie's Confirmation

"Actually, I saw a man carrying the same green messenger bag come to the museum earlier today. He was looking at one particular painting for an extraordinarily long time. I thought it was strange, but now that I think about it, he looks just like the guy in the mugshot!" Ellie informed Katie and Kevin. All of them looked at each other dumbstruck. They all wondered why Pablo Peruggia would come back to the museum when he already successfully stolen the Mona Lisa, and people were looking for him.

Katie blurted out, "Maybe he wants to steal another painting!"

Ellie answered, "I bet he's coming back tonight like he did with the Mona Lisa. 

"What do you mean?" asked Kevin.

Ellie explained that Peruggia had been staring at the Mona Lisa, and several hours later, that same ominous night, he stole the painting. Katie and Kevin finally understood that tonight was the night for Peruggia to get caught. Ellie and the two kids had several ideas on how to catch the thief. After fifteen minutes or so, they all finally agreed to an idea. 

Katie and Kevin decided that they would first talk to the security guard at the museum and convince him to take them to the police. At the police station, Katie and Kevin would show the police their evidence, and try to coax them to patrol the museum all night.
