“I wanted to catch the Rat Sisters before they started stealing little kids' lunches. If they were hungry, I could pump some information from them.
I leaned against a trash can and waited. It didn't take long.
"Hey, Nadine. Hey, Rizzo," I said. "Guess what? It's National Take-a-Doofus-to-Lunch Day, so I thought I'd share a sandwich with you." "Very funny, Gecko," said the bigger one, Rizzo.
The Rat Sisters make the Wicked Witch of the West look like a Girl Scout. The only thing they like more than bullying smaller kids is pigging out on food—any food. I had just what they wanted.

"Have you seen Billy today?" I asked.
"Not since—no," said Rizzo. "He...y are you going to eat that sandwich, or just dance with it?" "Well, I might share, if you'll share information," I said.MoreLess
