CHAPTER 6
"I hope your foot gets better fast," Dink said.
"Thanks, and I hope you find the skeleton," Mr. Palmer said.
The kids left and walked toward their room.
"We must've figured something wrong," Josh said."One of these people has to be the perp." "The perp?" Dink said.
Josh grinned. "Yeah, you know, the guy that did it."
"So if it wasn't anyone on this list, who was it?" Ruth Rose asked."That footprint didn't get there by magic."
"I wonder if it could be a trick footprint," Dink said. "What do you mean?" Josh asked.
"I read a story once about some kids who made fake bear tracks to fool their parents," Dink said."They taped some rolledup socks onto an old rake.Then they stamped 'bear' tracks in the snow all around their house."
"But why would the skeleton snatcher leave a fake footprint?" Ruth Rose asked.
Dink shrugged. "Why would anyone steal the school skeleton in the first place?"
"Well, whoever did it is pretty mean," Josh grumbled."Playing tricks on innocent kids isn't nice!"
Dink and Ruth Rose burst out laughing.They were still giggling as they got close to their room.
"Wait a sec, I want to put this drawing away," Josh said.
"STOP!" Ruth Rose shouted as Josh stepped up to his locker. "Don't move!"
"What!" Josh gasped, smacking his chest with one hand. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Look what you almost stepped on!" Ruth Rose pointed to a circle of white powder on the floor.In the center of the circle was a footprint. It was a very familiar footprint.
