It felt like one of those days when trouble was brewing and waiting for the perfect time to strike. 13-year-old Penny was sitting in the vast room of her detective agency. It was vary quit, and nobody was there. “Ug… I’m going for a brake if any-“ But Penny never got to finish her sentence, as she got up, Mya rushed in. Mya is one of Penny’s friends, she’s always losing stuff, like, her slippers, homework, and socks.

    “Mya! What is it?” Penny asked in and excited voice. 

    “My dog, Scootalo! He’s gone missing!” 

Now, this was a mystery. 

    “Detective Penny is on the job!” Penny said. “Lucy! I need you!” Lucy is Penny’s assistant. And I’ll tell you, Lucy is always happy, and she LOVES animals, and she never, ever, stops smiling. 

    “What is it?” Lucy asked running out of a doorway on the left side of the room with a big smile on her face, like I told you, she’s always smiling.          “Scootalo’s gone missing!” Mya said to Lucy. 

    “OK! Let’s go!” Mya said running towards the door. 

    There, the three of them stood, in front of Mya’s house, Mya was the first to talk.

    “Oh, guys, did I tell you that I also hear strange noises coming from my attic?” Mya asked them. 

    “No, I don’t think you told us.” Lucy said scrunching up her face in thought. 

    “OK, so, you hear strange noises coming from the attic, and Scootalo has gone missing.” Penny mumbled, jotting things down on a notepad she brought with her.
