In chapter 11-20 a lot of interesting things happened. We left of just before Stanley was going to show the fossil he had found to Mr Pedanski. Unfortunately it turned out to be nothing more than a cheap rock. Because of that Stanley did not get a day of. He was disappointed. But when he walked back to the hole, X-Ray stopped him. He told Stanley to give him everything that he would find while digging. He explained to Stanley that it would only be fair for him to get a day of. After all, X-Ray had been on the camp for almost a year, so Stanley did not think about it too much. Until the day after when he found something while digging. It was a gold tube with "KB" engraved in it. Stanley was sure that if he would show this to the warden, he would get a day off. But the problem was that he was supposed to give it to X-Ray. He tried to hide it but later he decided to just give up and show the guys. X-Ray ended up getting a day of and the Warden was satisfied by the object. But it was not only that, she wanted them to pair up and continue to dig deeper in the hole that X-Ray had found the gold tube in. It seemed like she was looking for something more. But the problem was that they were digging in the wrong hole, instead they were supposed to dig in Stanley's hole, where he actually had found the tube. Days went by and the Warden got impatient, nothing was found and soon they returned to their old tasks. In the last chapter (19-20) Stanley got in trouble. You see, magnet stole a sack filled with sunflower seeds from Mr Sir's truck. They enjoyed eating it as they dug their holes. But when it was Stanley's turn to eat, they tossed the sack to him and somehow all the sunflower seeds fell out. And just as that happened Mr Sir's truck arrived for its daily routine. Stanley tried to hide the sunflower seeds but did not succeed. Mr Sir found out what was going on and blamed it all on Stanley, even if it wasn't his fault. He had ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet again. He was taken to the warden and got his punishment, but not only him, but Mr Sir did also. The Warden did apparently not care about Mr Sir's sunflower seeds. Stanley left a irritated Warden and a painful Mr Sir behind him as he went out from the office. What will happen next?

My Dream School || English text
Helin Ahmed
Buenos Aires Soccer Institute
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Hi! January 19, 2017
Right now I'm sitting in the school library writing this letter for you. Today was my first day in my new dream school and I was dying to tell someone about it. You won't believe what you soon are about to read, because this school isn't an ordinary school. It's beyond ordinary and it's what I've always dreamt about. I'm sure you've heard about my big passion to soccer, and I've always been complaining that I get to practice far too little all because of school and homework. Well, not anymore! This school has combined my favourite thing in the whole world with educating, and I'm loving it! Today we got our schedule and half of the lessons is to practice soccer. Now you are probably thinking, but isn't this going to make you focus less on school work? At first I thought the same. As much as I love to play soccer, I also have to focus on my education. But that's not going to be a problem at all. You see, besides all the practice we also have normal lessons like, Science, Math and English. The teachers are also always making sure that the pupils are concentrating on the school work and of course on the pitch. That means that the school is also strict, but not in a bad way. I always tell myself that if I want to achieve my goals in life I have to work hard.
Well okay, enough about me for awhile. I'm pretty sure that you are very curious to find out more about the school. What does it look like? Are there any rules? And the most important question, do you get to meet any famous players? Don't worry, I'm about to answer each question. First of all as you already know the school is placed on a soccer stadium, and a big one too. We also have our dorms placed on the stadium. We have access to a big cafeteria where I think I'm going to spend a lot of my time in with my friends. They have ice cream, hamburgers and a lot more, but as a soccer player you have to think about eating healthy. But an ice cream now or then isn’t going to harm anyone, right? We spend most of the practices outside on the main pitch, but when it's occupied we have to hold the practise outside on the small pitches surrounding the stadium. At first I was thinking, what if it's raining or the weather is bad? But then I remembered that that's never going to be a problem, here in Buenos Aires it never rains! We get to meet the player of the famous team CA River Plate and sometimes we even get to watch them practice. Our coach tells us that watching another team practice is another way of learning.
This school is different from other schools in many ways, not only the soccer part by also the part when it comes rules. That's right, this school doesn't have any rules! Here everyone has to take responsibility for themselves, that means that we have to be mature and handle situations in a good way. But if someone does something wrong, he or she will be sent to the the head teacher and coach. Later they will have to decide how the person will be punished. But that rarely happens.
The classrooms looks like the normal ones that I had in my old school. But the most exciting thing is the dorms. We have to share the dorms with our friends, that means it's going to be like a sleepover, but every day instead! Every week we also have soccer tournaments between the different dorms. How awesome is that? I really like it here and I wish you could experience it just like me, maybe someday you will but for now I hope this letter helped you with some information. Write back soon and take care!
Love Helin

My ending to "Murder my dear"
-” I will get it! And it will give you time to think about your explanation.” Sonia said as she walked to the phone and answered it.
-” Hello, this is Sonia.”
On the phone
“ Yes Hello, this is Detective Inspector Harry Jarvis”. Jarvis said.
“ Oh, Hello inspector. What's on your mind?” Sonia asked curiously why he was calling her.
“ I want to talk to Detective Constable Fletcher. I believe he's with you.” Jarvis answered.
Yes, of course. Hold on.” Sonia said.
Sonia walked over to Flecher on the couch and reached out her hand to give him the phone.
“Who is it?” Flecher asked before taking the phone.
“ Answer and you will see” she answered. Flecher grabbed the phone and answered it. He finally hung up the phone after what seemed to be ages.
“ So?” Sonia asked.
“ Detective Inspector Harry Jarvis is coming over” he answered suddenly looking very pale. Was it something that bothered him? Sonia thought. He's acting really strange.
30 minutes later…
It was a knock on the door, one knock, two knocks, three knocks.
“ Hello Detective Jarvis” Sonia said as she opened the door. “ What's the hurry?” She asked.
“Let me talk to Flecher” he said bursting inside the apartment. After him came a long grey haired man, Detective Sergeant Mickey Watts. Sonia closed the door and walked in to the kitchen to find Jarvis and Flecher arguing.
I didn't do it! How can you come her and accusing me to have murdered a man.” Flecher almost shouted.
“ The fingerprints didn't match, we arrested the wrong man and you were the only one there running away and told us that you saw blood on his raincoat. You are the only one it can be!” Jarvis shouted back.
“I don't believe it, I have a perfect explanation to what happened that night.” Flecher said.
“Let's hear it then. What were you doing near Lamburne’s house that night?” Sonia said.
I was just taking a long walk, I wasn't feeling so good after the dinner party in the office that night, so I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. It isn't something big, really it isn't and I can prove that it wasn't me” Flecher said crossing his arms.
“How?” Watt said looking a bit nervous.
If it was me, why would I tell you that I saw what happened and tell you all the details of what I saw and do I have to remind you, I gave you the fingerprints!” Flecher said.
“ Well if it wasn't you who was it then?” Jarvis said. He was clearly desperate for an answer.
“ Well, I may have an idea. The only one who knows about the fingerprints and took care of them was Detective Sergeant Mickey Watts. He maybe mixed up the fingerprints to trick everyone that it was Flecher” Sonia spoke up.
“ But why would he-” Jarvis cut off in the middle of his sentence.
“ What is it Sir” Flecher asked. Sonia turned around. Detective Sergeant Mickey Watts had disappeared without a trace.
