Mark came home from school to find his 3-year old little brother Fred missing. He called his friends Abby and Carl to help him look. He told them that his parents left a little while ago and his dad had just fixed the vent system in the attic. Upon entering the living room, Abby immediately noticed the dirty footprints of a barefoot child. She pointed them out to Mark. He looked at them and suddenly heard a crash above him. Carl ran out of the room. Where is Fred and where is Carl going?
Solution
Fred got his feet dirty in the attic when his dad was working in there, but came downstairs to get a sandwich. He then went back into the attic and hid, playing hide-and-seek with his dad when he wasn’t paying attention. Then he was locked in. The crash had him banging against the door. Carl heard him crying.
