6: Where’s Stevie?
One ironically bright and sunny
day, our investigative team heard the shocking news: Stevie Pointer had been
kidnapped. We had been left a note of hints from the kidnapper on where the
beloved dog might be along with a word scramble on his location. To find him,
we needed to follow the clues and find the letters. As soon as we heard the news, we bolted out
the door to where our clues were primarily located, the Learning Resource
Center at the University of Stevens Point Wisconsin campus. When we arrived on
the scene, we bolted to the third floor because we heard loud screaming. To our
surprise, the third floor was just the holding area of the libraries CD
collection. The screaming just turned out to be the Rolling Stones CD. Even
though Stevie was nowhere to be found, our investigative team was lucky enough
to find the letter we were looking for: R. Xab ferociously scribbled down the
first letter as Ellie was standing by the window looking at the next clue.
Kayla was in the corner listening into a conversation between two suspicious
people. The two people were gossiping over the breaking news that the kidnapper
was on the sixth floor planning his escape route. When Kayla heard this, she
flew to the investigative team and told them. Xab ran to the elevator and
pressed the button as fast as he could. When the team arrived to the sixth
floor, they spotted the kidnapper near the U.S. government publications by
disability services. Ellie whipped out her investigative squirt gun and began
to bolt towards the kidnapper. To her dismay, it wasn’t the kidnapper but just
an im”poster.” But really it was just a poster. The poster read the next two
letters for our clues: SI. After this, Kayla let out a high pitched scream due
to hearing a gun shot. The team ran down to the fifth floor and began looking
for possible suspects. Xab heard an orangutan screaming and began running
towards the noise. The team, unfortunately, got lost in the midst of the
excitement. They even stopped to ask a janitor if he had seen or heard the
orangutan. He had not and left them with a weird look. Ellie then screamed “I
FOUND IT!” The rest of the team followed her to where the orangutan was: the
study cages. The orangutan told the team that he had spotted Stevie, but we had
to leave quickly or he would be in real danger. He gave them their letter: H
and told them to find Stevie and comeback for him later. The team sped to the
fourth floor, and was bombarded by other investigative teams. Luckily, our team
was helped and given the next letter: C. On fourth floor we were told that
Stevie had been spotted on second. The team rushed to the second floor and
began looking for Stevie. Although it wasn’t him, they found his newspaper and
with help from the librarian were given our next letter: E. Xab had the
brilliant idea that maybe Stevie had gotten lost in the library and ran to the
first floor museum. Ellie got lost in the trance of the beautiful eggs shown. While
she was doing that Kayla then spotted the next clue, with the letter: A. The
team then thought maybe if they knew what Stevie looked like they would find
him. So, they headed to the encyclopedia section of the library and looked at
the description of an English Pointer. With the help of another investigative
team, they were able to get the next letter: V. Then, with all the kidnapper’s
clues found, the team began to unscramble the letters. Turned out to be ARCHIVES.
The team ran to fifth floor, and excitedly found the missing Pointer.
Unfortunately, he was dead, but the team was given his head in remembrance of
him. The team learned a lot about the importance of their school’s library! It
was great to see what resources were on campus The team then went to bed. The
end.
