Det. Joe was listening to every conversation. He watched Allee and Kathy scream in horror because the beautiful pink diamond was gone. He even listened to Fred crying with joy because the pink diamond was gone. Fred hates that big pink diamond. Nobody knows why, but he just does. Mean while, the General scurried around his hotel to make sure nothing else was stolen.

After about 20 minutes of looking for clues, Det. Joe decided to take everyone's thumb prints. First, he took Allee's thumb print. After everyone took a close look at it, Det. Joe decided Allee was not a suspect. Then, he took Fred's thumb print. Again, everyone looked at it, then of course Det. Joe announced that Fred was NOT guilty. The General was very happy that Fred did not steal his diamond because they had been friends since kindergarten. Det. Joe turned to look at Kathy and the General. He took Kathy's thumb print first. He stared at it and saw a smudge on the picture that looked like one of the diamond's edges! His mouth fell open. "Kathy stole it! Kathy stole it!" barked Det. Joe. Everyone gathered around him to see Kathy's mystierious thumb print. Kathy tried to run but the General was faster. "Not so fast, Kathy!" At that moment Det. Joe had seized Kathy and was dragging her off to prison. Everyone cheered and Allee bought the pretty pink diamond!!!!!!!!!

The End

From Ms. B. - Julia, I am confused. How did the detective know Kathy's print was the one? You need to use spell check on your ending. I think the part about Fred hating the pink diamond is interesting. I am wondering why.

Dan- Julia I never though of useing thumb prints to find out who stole the diamond.

Riley- Julia, I really liked your ending, I especially liked the part when Allee bought the diamond.
