“What?” I played the whole
thing again. “Teddy? Oh, no. What
for?”
“For shoplifting. He’s been
expelled, and he won’t be coming
back to school. We know there was
another boy involved, and these
officers are going around to the
schools in the area to investigate.
We called you here because Mrs.
Vorster tells us you’re Teddy’s best
friend, and we want to know: Do
you know anything about this?”
I shook my head. “No, I don’t
know anything.”
“Do you know who Teddy was
with?”
