Charlie Finder
2 Much Lost Things


Lost Monkey

Charlie was taking his dog a walk. When he finished he put him back in the house. Then, a man crying came to Charlie.
"Lost something?" he asked.
"Hi, I'm Jerry, the owner of the city's zoo."
"I knew that."
"I came here to tell you because I lost the favorite atraction, the monkey!"
"Well, let's get that monkey before the zoo opens."
When they got there, Charlie went to the monkey place and investigated.
"Nothing!" Charlie said to Jerry.
"So what should we do?"
"What person really wants to go inside and steal the monkey because it's awesome?"
"I don't know who. There's a lot of people but one I always see wants to get it is Gertrude Leckomory."
"Do you know where he lives?"
"She and I don't know."
"Let's check."
Once they checked where Gertrude lives, they went there and once they got there they nocked on her door.
"Hello." she said in a fake nice sweet voice.
"Hello."Charlie said.
"Do you want to come in?"
"Perfect."
Once they were in, Charlie asked something.
"Do you have any pets?"
"Yes, we have a dog."
"Uuuuuuuaghaghuuuuuuuaghaghuuuuuuuuaghagh!"
"Was that your dog?"
"Yes, he has a problem."
"Ohhhhhh, that's bad. Well, see you later."
"See you later."
"Ohhh that was close." Gertrude muttered to herself.
Charlie went out and said to Jerry a important thing.
"She's busted."
"I knew."
How did Charlie actually know?


Missing Dog

The walk was done, and Charlie sat down at his chair and got his remote-Charlie was going to watch TV. Until, Chloe came and she was crying a ocean.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"My dog is MISSING!"
"That's horrible."
"I know."
"So where was he when you saw him?"
"Sitting at the couch."
"Let's go right away and fix the problem."
"Let's go fast."
Once they got there they sat Chloe was about to sit down on the couch.
"Wait, there might be some clues on it." Charlie said.
"Like what."
"Can you move alittle."
"Ok."
"See all the hair. It can tell us who took it because, in the police station, there's a DNA scanner for everything, and of course the theif could be found because there's no way how to pick up your dog without touching the coach. So let's take all the hair."
"Your on it."
Once they got there, the lazy police was still gaurding the door.
"What do you want, kids?"
"We have to scan DNA to find out who stole Chloe's dog."
"Wow, DNA is in."
"So can we check out?"
"Go ahead."
Charlie went to the DNA center and Charlie scan it real good a few minutes later it talked. Must be an upgrade.
"Charlie Finder." it said.
"Ok, next." Charlie said.
"Chloe Pecker."
"Next."
"Steven Pree."
"Where does he live?"
"In 897154 Apple St. Blvd. #4554"
"That's far from here. Who's his dad?"
"Scanning............Scanning.................Scanning........... Jim Pree."
"Ohhhhh, the baseball stadium owner.I been there." Chloe said.
"Thank you, machine, bye."
They went out of the police station and asked the lazy gaurd to drive them to Jim Pree's house.

Once they got there, they knocked on Steven's house.

Jim's Late Mom

"DinnnnnnngDinnnnnnnnnnngDinnnnnnnng!"

The school bell rang and everybody went out of school in a riet. Mostly I felt like I was in a stampede of buffalos. I went to the playground and went to my mom.
"Hi, Mom."
"Hi, Charlie. How are you doing with your business?"
"Great, can I play in the playground?"
"Yes, honey!"
Once, Charlie was on track and playing on the playground. He found Jim crying.
"What's wrong?"
"My mommy's not here."
"What happened to her?"
"I don't know."
"Does she have any injuries."
"No, but she said her leg hurts."
"Then, that must mean she's still right next to her car." Charlie thought.
"Where does she usaully park?"
"Well, ummmmmmmm........ right next to a house."
“So go there and don’t worry.”
“Well......Ok?!.”
Jim went, and went back to mom to go home.
The next day, Jim came to me.
“Thank you.”
“Your welcome. It was a peice of cake. See you later.”
“Wait I want to give you something.”
“Yes?”
“Here’s $20.”
“Wow, thank you.”
“Your welcome. It was a peice of cake. See you later.”
“See you later.”

"We have to go to the place which it happened."
Once there, I asked him about the queen about the butler and she said he was a normal wonerful bulter.
" I don't know normal butlers and I just want to ask a question!"
" Ok. "
" First, how do you treat him."

"Overazagerating or truth, he got stolen."
I said," First of first, I'm not using
