There are some evil people in this world, kids. You just never know anymore. God bless that little girl and her parents,” Zach’s mom said.
Cody and Zach looked at each other, very worried. Sheldon Township was just two cities away from the town of Tippwood. In fact, one part of Tippwood actually bordered Sheldon.
Zach set down the basketball. The boys went up the stairs to Zach’s room and shut the door.
“Dude, you don’t think…” Zach’s voice trailed off.
“I don’t know, man, this is too coincidental. It’s two cities from us, and the girl was walking home from school,” replied Cody.
“We should go to the police,” said Zach.
“No, we can’t. No one knows what we’re doing. Our moms will kill us if they found out what we were up to,” Cody said.
“We are not police officers, dude. We are twelve years old and in seventh grade,” replied Zach with an edginess to his tone.
“I know, but trust me—we are better off continuing our own investigation,” fired back Cody.
Zach could tell that Cody was obsessed with the man in the black Cadillac. For some reason, Zach completely understood the pain and determination on his friend’s face. Zach dropped it.
“What next, then?” asked Zach.
“We need to figure out where that man we saw lives,” said Cody.
There was a long pause in between.
“I have an idea, dude. It may not be the best idea, but we may have a shot,” said Zach.
“Okay, let’s hear it,” said Cody.
“My brother… He’s going to be home this weekend, I heard my mom talking to him on the phone. He has a car, dude. We can see if he would drive us to Lincoln Street on Sunday,” said Zach with excitement in his voice.
Cody knew Zach’s brother but not well. He was a freshman in college at a school two hours away from Tippwood. Cody was intrigued by the idea.
“Go on,” replied Cody.
“We could tail the car with my brother’s help. This is a long shot, but it’s a shot. We are going to have to let him in somewhat about what we are doing, though,” responded Zach.
“I think it’s a great idea. The only thing is, we need to hope and pray that the Cadillac is there this Sunday. Do you think you could convince your brother?” Cody asked.
“I don’t know, man, it’s worth a shot. Maybe we could give him some money or something? I don’t know,” Zach said in a worried tone.
“You need to be the best salesman on the planet,” Cody said.
“I know,” replied Zach.
The boys talked more about the missing girl in Sheldon. It made Cody sick to the stomach that the girl was exactly Olive’s age. Cody was angry and upset over the whole situation. Zach understood exactly why.
The two friends went back downstairs and made a snack. Zach’s mother was still watching television. The emergency alert flashing sign was still streaming across the bottom of the color television.
“Do you want to play basketball now?” asked Zach hopefully.
“No, I’m going to head home. I have a lot of homework and reading to catch up on. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Call me if you think of anything else for our project. Bye, Mrs. Madden,” said Cody.
“You got it, dude. See you tomorrow,” replied Zach.
“Bye, Cody,” said Mrs. Madden. “Wow, you two are really serious about this project. I can’t wait to see it when it’s done,” she continued talking to Zach.
“Yeah, can’t wait,” Zach said convincingly.
Cody started walking and took Thomas Avenue home. He started to hum his favorite song and also began thinking about the missing girl.
“Poor Mandy, don’t worry, little girl, I’m going to help find you,” he thought in his head.
When he arrived home, it was past 4:00 p.m. Cody glanced down the driveway of his neighbor’s house and saw an older blue car covered by the tarp. It had a bow-tie logo. The car was a Chevy. A sense of relief came over Cody as he continued to walk toward his house. Phil was furious with Cody and was already yelling before he
