Chapter 11
Interrupting each other, the kids told Officer Fallon about the Bents.
Even before Officer Fallon heard about the Happy Heart Dog Food boxes, he was shouting orders into his telephone.
"Don't go back to Fox Lane!"were his last words before he leaped for the door and disappeared. "Now what?" Dink asked.
"Why should we be left out?" Ruth Rose asked. "Let's go watch!"
"Go where?" Josh asked. "He said to stay away-"
"Not Fox Lane," Dink interrupted. "The action is gonna be on Squaw Island!"
Minutes later, they were catching their breath next to Officer Fallon's cruiser on River Road.The fog had lifted and they had a better view of Squaw Island.
Dink peered across the river but saw only sand and rocks.
Out of breath, Josh sank to the ground. "I think I'm having a heart attack!" he moaned.
"Do you think Officer Fallon is out there?" Ruth Rose asked, squinting. "I don't see anyone."
The kids sat in the shade of the cruiser and watched the island.
Suddenly, Josh jumped to his feet. "There they are!" he shouted.
Three figures had come around the island's other side.It was too far away to tell who they were, but Dink thought he could see Officer Fallon's dark uniform.
Then a fourth person came into view. He was pulling a small flat-bottomed boat behind him.
"It's Officer Fallon and Officer Keene!" Dink said. "They've got the Bents!"
The kids watched the group come closer. The water was nearly up to Officer Fallon's knees.He led the Bents, who were handcuffed.Officer Keene waded behind, pulling the boat. It was green!
"Look what's in the boat!" Josh said. "It's piled with money and dog food boxes!"
