04 Once Upon a Thriller
““I THOUGHT NOTHING EVER HAPPENED in Avondale!” George cried. “First a fire and now a lost wallet? Did we bring this bad luck with us?”
“Oh no,” Bess said. “Do you think it was stolen?”
“Anything’s possible,” I said, sighing and searching through my backpack again. “I hope not. I’ll have to cancel all my credit cards and get a new license. What a pain!”
“When did you last have it?” George asked, not wasting a second.
It took me a moment to retrace my steps, but it came to me pretty quickly.
“The... Cheshire Cat,” I said. “At the gift shop.”
“Oh, is that where you bought the books?” Bess asked.
I nodded, breathing a sigh of relief as I pointed to the novels still sitting on the table. My wallet probably hadn’t been stolen—more likely I had flaked out and left it on the counter while talking to Alice Ann.
“Let’s go. We’ll stop there on the way back to the car,” George said as she went to pay the bill.
“Thanks, George.” I smiled. For someone with such a great memory when it came to mysteries and clues, I could sometimes be surprisingly absentminded about everyday things like wallets and car keys.MoreLess
