      The Mysterious Cases of Mr. Pin - Mary Elise Monsell

      Detective PIN

      1

      The sky was dark. The air was cold. It had been days since Mr. Pin left his home at the South Pole to be a detective in Chicago.

      A black wing pulled the bus cord at Wabash Street. The driver watched as Mr. Pin hopped out of the bus into a swarm of snowflakes.

      Mind your step, the driver said.

      The door creaked shut and the bus headed west. Mr. Pin headed north.

      He was at home in Chicago. It was cold.

      Mr. Pin was a rock hopper penguin, mostly black and white, with long yellow plumes on both sides of his head. He wore a checked cap and a red muffler. A mysterious black bag was tucked under his wing.

      Suddenly a rock hit a streetlight. Glass splintered. A black car squealed around the corner and disappeared.

      Mr. Pin picked up the rock. A note was attached.

      Pay up or else, it said.

      Could be trouble, Mr. Pin said out loud, putting the rock into his black bag. Looks like I arrived in Chicago just in time.

      Just ahead was a diner—Smiling Sally’s Good Food.

      I wonder if the rock was meant for that diner, thought Mr. Pin.

      The windows were iced over. A light was on, and Mr. Pin went inside. The diner was empty except for a smiling lady standing behind a curved counter.

      I’m Sally, she said.

      I’m Mr. Pin, he said, shedding his cap. Detective Pin—reasonable rates.

      We need a detective around here, said Sally. There’s been trouble.

      Trouble? asked Mr. Pin as he hopped up onto a stool.

      Gangsters, said Sally with a shiver. But you don’t look like you’re from around here, she added, spinning a cup in her hand.

      I travel a lot, but I’m from the South Pole, said Mr. Pin, resting his beak on the counter.
