 CHAPTER 15

 

—WEDNESDAY NIGHT NEWS—

Commentator Rachel:

Today’s big news item in the  mysterious “placement” of Mr. Hendersen’s  car on the island of Barclay Lake. In  an apparent late night operation, an  undetermined number of . . . culprits . . .  did remove said car from its parking space  and . . . what can only be described as  “magically” . . . transported it to the island. 

The unknown perpetrators . . .

And it is at this point that Commentator Rachel stops and looks over to her left where Commentator Sandy is laughing to herself “off camera.” Commentator Rachel then turns back toward the camera . . . and continues.

Commentator Rachel:  The unknown perpetrators are still  at large.

Commentator Sandy:  In other news, today’s edition of

“The Courier” reports that a Mr. John  Snyder . . . a math teacher at the local high  school . . . accuses the Barclay School of . . .  and I quote . . . “Padding their grades.” Mr.  Snyder further alleges that the school has  a “soft” curriculum and gives its students  “weak” exams. Barclay school administrator  James Hendersen was contacted by the  paper for a response to the accusations and  his reaction will be printed in tomorrow’s  edition.
