The Case of the Missing Sugar Cookie Recipe

by Super Secret Jack Spinner

Hi kids! Super Secret Jack Spinner the Specialized Sleuth along with my mighty sidekick Zachary the Cosmic Kid here with you for another Christmas adventure.

All of you are probably wondering why me, Super Secret Jack Spinner, and my mighty sidekick Zach are tied together in this chair. Well, that’s a long story – a big secret - because, well, I’m Super Secret Jack Spinner the Specialized Sleuth, and my whole life is a Super Secret. “Or… you’re too embarrassed to say that a tiny mouse has tied us up and stole our secret recipe for our Super Secret Christmas Sugar Cookies” said the mighty sidekick Zach. Well mighty sidekick, I am not embarrassed that a tiny mouse has tied us up, it was dark, I didn’t have my shoes on, my scarf was hanging really low, and that mouse snuck up on me and I was too busy screaming to stop him. See, that’s what people do when they see mice. They scream, they jump, and they try to run away. I only did what came natural to Super Secret Jack Spinner, the Specialized Sleuth.

So we’re in a slight dilemma. These ropes are kind of tight and there’s a padlock holding them together. It’s not just any padlock, it’s a magical padlock. See this padlock will only unlock if I get enough kids to yell at the top of their lungs “Christmas is awesome”. So let's...“Yeah" Zach interrupted, "Christmas IS awesome. I love getting toys on Christmas, and clothes, and books, and eating cookies and…”Yeah, yeah, yeah, Christmas is awesome" Super Secret exclaimed. "Because I like getting scarves and hats, super secret boots, super secret pajamas, super secret earplugs, super secret nose hair trimmers." “Hey, hey, hey, you’re getting side-tracked Super Secret Jack” said the mighty sidekick. "Oops, sorry. It’s just that you got me so excited on how awesome Christmas is" said Super Secret.

So back to the help that we need to get out of these ropes and this magical padlock. We’re going to count down from three and everyone is going to yell as loud as they can “Christmas is awesome”. Ok, here we go. 3… 2… 1… “CHRISTMAS IS AWESOME!” One more time, one more time, it’s working. 3… 2… 1… “CHRISTMAS IS AWESOME!”

[by Super Secret Jack Spinner] BLOOP! We did it; we made the magical padlock open up. Great job everybody! It's so great that I can always count on you. That was kind of a disappointing sound though; I was expecting a more magical sound. Oh well, “BLOOP” will work.

We’re finally free from these ropes, we can go find that tiny mouse that tied us up and stole our Super Secret Christmas Sugar Cookie recipe. AHHHHHHHH!!! It’s the mouse! I think he ran across my foot, so GROSS! Quick, let’s get him before he goes into that tiny hole in the wall that I can’t fit into. After him mighty sidekick!

Will Super Secret Jack Spinner and the Cosmic Kid catch the mouse and get the recipe back in time for Christmas? Join us next week for part two of the Case of the Missing “Super Secret Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe”. Same North Pole Time, same North Pole place - ONLY in The North Pole Times!
