The Mystery of Alan Norman McBride
-- EXCERPT: Mr. McBride let out a chuckle which soon erupted into an outright guffaw. He must have laughed for over five minutes, just sitting there laughing with the iguana in his lap and Waffles and Taffy by his side. “Murder me?” he exclaimed. “Murder me? Where ever did you get that idea?” Mr. McBride finished laughing and let out a lengthy sigh. Emily unzipped her backpack and took out her large notebook. “Look! It’s all written down right here – the whole conversation.” Mr. McBride took the notebook and read it to himself. “Are you trying to pull something here?” Mr. McBride furrowed his brow and looked suspiciously at the girls. “No, Mr. McBride. It’s all true!” Lauren insisted. “It is, hmmm?” He thought about this for a while. While he was deep in thought, Waffles the dog jumped up and licked his face. Suddenly, Mr. McBride jumped straight up out of his chair, startling the girls. “A-ha! They must want my papers!” He exclaimed, pointing his finger in the air. The girls looked confused. “Papers?” “Yes. They are extremely important to me. They contain the most valuable information I possess.” Lauren stood up. “What kind of information?” “You know…papers…important…infor…” He stopped short and stared out his window. “What in God’s name is that?” Parked outside was a long black limousine with the word “Cleaners” written in white paint on the windows. Emily looked at Pam and Pam looked at Lauren. It was Big Al and Dino. They were early! The two men got out of the car dressed in identical white jumpsuits. “It’s them!” Pam exclaimed. “Big Al and Dino. They’re coming for you, Mr. McBride.”
