Ch.16 The News

As Katie and Kevin walked downstairs, they heard the news on their parent's flatscreen T.V. The two twins settled down to eat breakfast. While eating, Katie and Kevin heard their parents calling their name. "KATIE! KEVIN!! Get over here RIGHT NOW!!!" yelled Katie and Kevin's parents.
Kevin whispered to Katie, "What's her problem?" The two kids did as they were told and ran to their parents, who were still watching the news in the living room.

The moment Katie and Kevin walked into the room, they were in awe. On the screen showed a reporter outside of the Louve. Behind him, the police were arresting Pablo Peruggia. Several police cars surrounded the museum, and at least a hundred spectators were watching the whole scene.

Katie and Kevin's mom replied sternly, "You have a lot of explaining to do. First of all, why did I hear both of your names on the news?"
Katie lied, "What do you mean?!"
"Well, on the news the reporter said you two, helped solve the case of the stolen Mona Lisa. When the reporter questioned the police chief, he stated that two twins, named Katie and Kevin, helped lead them to the thief. What did he mean by that?"

Kevin explained everything.
Their mom didn't answer for a while. But finally, a smile appeared on her face. Suddenly, the phone rang. Katie ran to the phone, knowing it may be the police chief.

"Hello? This is Katie! Who am I speaking to?"
"It's me, the police chief. Did you see the news? You were right! I think you and Kevin deserve the a million dollar reward for cracking the case. Please come to the Louve right now!"

Ch.15 The Police Station

The police station was painted white with a blue wooden roof. On the roof, the word POLICE was written in huge white block letters. Katie, Kevin, and the sam walked in. Ellie was still in Katie's pocket eager to hear what the police would say. As they entered the gigantic police station, a cold blast of air hit their faces, and the first thing they saw was the front desk. They were escorted to the back of the police station to meet a police man. He questioned, "How can I help you?" Katie and Kevin looked at each other unsure of what to say.

Finally, Kevin spoke up and retold the same story he had told to Sam. The police man remained silent. Soon, he got up and brought their case to the police chief. A few seconds later, the police chief came and questioned them further. The chief finally agreed to patrol the museum that night.

Relieved, Katie exclaimed, "Thank you so much for believing in us!"
"Your welcome, I'm not sure what I will find, but here's my phone number. You can call to check in tomorrow," answered the Police Chief. Katie and Kevin gave the chief their contact information as well.

Ellie, overhearing the good news, let out a quiet squeal of delight.
