When you and Dick go to parties, you usually tell your father that you're going to a library or to the cinema, or to a friend's house, whatever excuse you can find, just never that you're going to a party.

But this time, when you asked for permission to go to a friend's house for a study session, your dad surprised you by saying "do you take me for a fool? I know where Dick and you go when you ask my permission. But this time I'm not letting you go out the house. All week there's been reports of kidnapped kids, and I still have no clue of whose work it is."
