15 the bloodhound Sure enough, when they got to Jamestown and checked into their motel, Mimi e-mailed an ad to the newspaper for the Lost and Found classifieds. Christina and Grant understood that it was the right thing to do, only they really, really hoped that no one would call and claim “their” puppy. They could hardly wait to track down Alex and Courtney and find out what was going on, and, to show them the dog, which Papa said they could keep with them on a leash. After looking for an hour, they finally tracked Courtney down at a concession stand. “Alex’s so upset,” she told Grant and Christina. “His dad got out on bail and has a lawyer, but Alex is so ashamed that anyone would believe that his father stole anything at all.” 103
“I can sure understand that,” said Christina. “But what about all those clues? Did you guys do any follow-up while we were gone?” Courtney shook her head. “We tried, but everything came up as a dead end.” “Don’t say dead,” Grant said. “Grant! What do you have?” squealed Courtney, as the bloodhound pup bounced out from behind Grant and began to lick Courtney’s knees. “Our new puppy!” Grant said excitedly. “Grant!” said Christina. “You know that’s not true—we found him,” she told Courtney, “and we have to wait to see if anyone claims him first. Even then, that doesn’t mean that Mimi and Papa will let us keep him.” Courtney scratched the adorable pup behind his ears. “He sure is cute,” she said. “What kind of dog is he?” “A bloodhound!” said Grant. “The kind of dog that tracks scents and finds criminals or lost people or things.” Courtney flushed. “You don’t think he could find lost bones, do you?” Christina frowned. “Maybe if they were lost,” she said. “But if they were stolen bones, well, they’re probably long gone from here.” 104
