CATBURGLAR
Born 1969, F, from Miami, United StatesTHE CATBURGLAR CASE
Cookie was reading her favorite comic book when her phone rang. She reached over her bed and answered it.
Hello?
Hey can you come over? Her best friend Daisy the penguin asked.
I have to ask my mom, but I think so. why, what’s up? Cookie asked.
I’ll tell you when you get here. okay, later! Daisy answered. After they hung up Cookie went downstairs and asked her mom if she could go over to Daisy’s house.
Okay sweetie, just be home by dinner time, her mom answered.
A few minutes later Cookie was knocking on Daisy’s front door. So what’s up? She asked, once they were inside Daisy’s room.
This, Daisy answered, handing her a newspaper article. We’re going to catch the cat burglar. not only are we going to catch him, but he’s going to be the star in our school project.
Huh? Daisy, you’re not making any sense, Cookie frowned.
Okay, you know our writing assignment that’s due for Mrs. Fox’s writing class? Daisy asked.
Yah what about it? Cookie asked.
Well I was thinking that instead of us just making a video explaining how we started our detective club, that we’d show them exactly how we catch our crooks, Daisy explained.
That sounds great, but what makes you think that we can catch him? Cookie asked. it says here that so far none of his victims could tell the cops what he looked like, cause he wears a mask over his face.
Cookie, we’re not really going to catch him, we’re just --- A knock on her door interrupted.
Hey guys! What’s up? Daisy asked, letting the boys in.
Hey guess what, Tommy the tiger cub answered. my brother said that we could tape him and his band when they play at the youth fair this weekend!
So? Daisy asked.
What do you mean, so? Tommy frowned. how were we supposed to make a rock video without a band?
Are you kidding me? Daisy smirked. I don’t want to follow your dumb brother around all weekend. Besides, half the kids in school don’t even know that Chuck is even in a band! I like my idea better.
And what idea is that? What is it, like to mall shop all day? Tommy smirked back.
No we’re going to catch the cat burglar, Cookie answered, handing him the article.
Oh yah right, the cops can’t even catch him, what makes you think we can? Tommy asked.
Well, we do always catch our crooks! Sammy the turtle laughed.
Ha-ha very funny! Tommy frowned.
Like I was explaining before to Cookie, we’re not really going to catch him. I was thinking more that we could stage a fake robbery then show how we’d catch him if we were on the case, Daisy explained.
After giving it some thought they all agreed that it was a great idea.
Great, I already asked Honey Kitten if we could do at it her mom’s candy store, Daisy smiled. Tommy, why don’t you ask Chuck if he’d like to play the role of our would be cat burglar? she added.
Yah okay, I’m sure he’ll do it, Tommy answered.
The next day they went over to the candy store.
Okay, Miss Kitten, this is the story: Cookie and Vicky come in to buy some candy. When they are paying for it you all start talking about the cat burglar. that’s when Tommy will walk in to buy a soda. And while he’s roaming through the aisles Chuck will walk in and demand for you to give him all your money. Sammy and I will be in the back room taping and Honey will play the role of the cop.
Sounds great. I only have one question, what happens if a real customer walks in while we’re filming this? Honey’s mom asked.
Oh I’ll just go up to them and explain what’s going on, Tommy answered.
Okay now, when Chuck takes the money he then will take out some rope and tie you guys up, Daisy continued.
Tie us up? why? Honey’s mom asked.
Oh cause all crooks do that so they can escape without worrying that the cops will be called right away. But don’t worry, before Chuck even gets a chance to Tommy will jump out of his hiding place and knock him to the ground. Then either Cookie or Vicky will pretend to call the cops and Honey will rush in and arrest him, Daisy explained.
And afterwards you’ll give us a big reward for catching the burglar! Honey added, smiling.
A big reward, huh? I don’t see anything written here about giving you kids a big reward her mom smirked.
Umm no, but it’d be a nice ending if you did don’t you think? Honey shrugged.
Yes it would. I think that I can come up with something, her mom laughed.
The next afternoon they went back to the store and got everything ready. Sammy made them do some test shots just to make sure that there were enough lights for the cameras.
How do I look? Honey’s mom asked.
Just like a movie star! Sammy laughed. Then they taped the first part of the story without any hitches.
Hey where’s Chuck? Shouldn’t he be here by now? Vicky asked, when they stopped for a lunch break.
He’s on his way, he went to pick up a mask from his friend’s house before heading over here, Tommy answered.
Okay break time over! Take your places. but before we start taping the second part I want to redo that last part again. Without Tommy trying to get in the picture every time he goes through the aisles, Sammy frowned.
A few minutes later the door opened and a mysterious figure walked in wearing a trench coat with the butt of his gun sticking out the coat pocket and a spooky mask over his face.
This is a stick up! He growled. every one stay right where you are and do exactly what I say and no one will get hurt!
Oh wow! He’s really good, Vicky whispered over to Cookie.
And cut! Sorry you guys, we weren’t ready. let’s do that again! Daisy cried out from the back room.
Hey who said that?! Come out here right now!
What are you doing? you know that they can’t come out, Cookie whispered over to him. and take out your gun. You should’ve done that by now.
Don’t tell me what to do, I’ll take it out when I’m good and ready! Look, I don’t know what’s going on but I’m through playing games with you kids. Now open the money drawer lady and give me your money, he sneered.
Honey’s mother tried not to laugh as she handed the robber all the money inside her cash drawer.
And what would be so funny? He growled, as he grabbed it from her hand.
Okay now, take the rope and tie us up, Cookie whispered over to him.
The burglar just looked at her as if she was crazy. Now why would I do that for? He whispered back.
Because you don’t want us to call the cops before you make your get away, do you? Cookie asked.
Oh you’ve a good point there.
Before he could start tying them up. Both Vicky and Cookie began biting him.
Hey! What are you doing? are you two completely nuts or something? knock it off! He yelled, before he shoved Cookie off of him.
Hey there’s no need to get so nasty. here, take the money and just get out, Honey’s mom yelled.
The burglar grabbed the money out of her hand. he turned around and was about to run out of the store, when he bumped into Chuck almost knocking him on the ground.
Sorry I’m late you guys, and who’s this dude? I thought I was supposed to play the robber? Chuck asked.
Whoa, wait a second. if you just got here, then you must be... Cookie began.
A real burglar, he smirked. now I don’t want any trouble. I want you all to get in the back room. And before he could finish his statement Tommy jumped out of his hiding spot and began wailing on him. In an instant they all jumped on top of the burglar. Cookie bit his hand causing him to drop the gun onto the floor.
A confused Miss Honey ran over and picked it up then called the cops. A few minutes later the store was crawling with cops and frightened parents who couldn’t stop hugging their kids.
Wow! I can’t believe what just happened. it was a good thing that we got the whole thing on tape. This is going to be the best video ever! Tommy cried out.
Not only did they get an A plus for their assignments, but the mayor of Rocky Shores made Cookie and her friends local heroes and threw a big party in their honor. But when they each thought of what could’ve happened they all agreed that they never want to go through that experience again.
The next time we’ve got to do a video assignment we’re definitely doing it on Chuck and his band! Cookie laughed.
