I guess -me -teenagers were satisfied they had made their point, because after +Key made Rowley finish
off
the rest
of
the Cheese, the let us go. "They go+ back in their -truck and -took
off
down the road.

Me and Rowley walked home together. But neith* one
of
us really said anything on the way back.

I -thought about mentioning to Rowley that maybe he could have gulled out a couple
of
his karate moves back there, but something told me -to hold
off
on that thought
for
right now.

+ took al>ou+ five seconds for someone to realize the Cheese was missing from its spot on +he blacktop.

E-verybody crowded around +o look a+ where +he Cheese used to he. Nobody could believe it was actually gone.

People s+ar+ed coming up with -these crazy theories about what happened to it. Somebody said that maybe the Cheese grew legs and walked away.

Xt took all mv self-control to keep ry mouth shot. And if Rowley wasn’t standing right there, X honestly don’t know if X could have

A couple o+ the guys who were arguing over what happened +o the Cheese were the same ones who were edging me and Cowley on yesterday afternoon. So X knew it wasn’t going to he long before someone put two and two together and fgured out that we must have had Something +o do with it.

Rowley was starting to panic, and X don’t blame him, either. Xf the truth ever came out about how the Cheese disappeared, Rowley would be finished. He d have to move out of the state,
