Annie felt a sharp pinch on her right arm, and her best friend Riley slipped her a crinkled piece of paper. It read:When the bell rang for break, Annie jumped up quickly, grabbed a rosy red apple and hurried over to Riley. “Annie, I think we have a mystery at last!” blurted out Riley. “Rumour has it that Martha James, the school principal’s daughter, has been kidnapped.
“The rumours were true,” breathed Annie. Riley said nothing. She was far away, staring into the distance. Together the two girls left the library silently to go to their next lesson with Ms Howard. Suddenly they saw a dark looming figure sneaking around and they pressed themselves against the wall, hearts beating fast. Sammy growled softly and as Riley laid her hand on his collar, she could feel his hackles rising. The figure turned and checked that nobody was around, not realising that Sammy and the girls were nearby. All of a sudden the figure bent low and disappeared!
As they made their way back to the trapdoor, Ms Howard suddenly appeared in front of them! Sammy snarled in fury and lunged at her, knocking her down. The girls all screamed and ran for the trapdoor. Ms James phoned the police, and they promptly arrived and arrested the sullen Ms Howard, who looked ashamed and sorrowful.
