One day, there lived two boys named Jordan Socho and Jason Socho. They lived in a palace with their dad, Mike Socho. In that palace, they had a big diamond. One day, Jordan went to check on the diamond.
“It’s gone!” he yelled.
Everyone rushed to the diamond room. There was glass all over the fall and no diamond!
“There’s only one person who could’ve this; Bruce Beater,” Dad said.
Everyone looked around for clues.
“I found a mask,” said Jordan.
“I found a cape,” said Jason.
“I found a rock,” said Dad.
So, they all went to the scanning room. They scanned what they found and got some details. The results finally came in.
“The results say a code that needs to be broken but to break it we have to follow some steps and clues,” said Dad.
Everyone knew what was going on now. It was dress-up party time!
“Hit the music!” they all yelled.
Suddenly, funky music started playing as Jason, Jordan and Dad started wearing different outfits.
There was an astronaut one, a business-man one, a barbie one, a summer one, a winter one and a sleeping one.
In the end, they found the right outfit. The detective one!!
They got to work straight away.
“It says we have to go to Big Ben Tower. Then there will another note that will be at the door of the Big Ben,” said Dad.
Everyone heard they instructions, so they quickly rushed to the vehicle.
“What should we use to get there?” asked Dad.
“Submarine,” said Jordan.
“No,” said Dad.
“Lamborghini,” said Jason.
“No,” said Dad.
“Normal car,” said Jordan.
“No,” said Dad.
“Private aeroplane,” said Jason.
“No,” said Dad.
“Jet,” said Jordan.
“No,” said Dad.
“Then what!!!!!” Jason and Jordan asked, frustrated.
“We’ll use the Jet-car!!,” said Dad.
Jordan and Jason looked at each other. They did not know they had a jet-car. Still, without complaining they jumped into the “jet-car” and took off to Big Ben.
When they arrived, they saw someone drop a note and start running, so Dad made a plan.
“I will go after them while you guys break the code, OK?”
Both boys nodded, and Dad took off running. The boys picked up the code and started to break it.
“The perp-no-person is Bran-no-Bruce, Mokos-no-Mikes enemy!!” the boys stammered.
They gasped and went to look for Dad when BONG! Jordan, Jason, and Dad bumped into each other. Dad was holding a guy. He was trying to cover his face. Jason and Jordan stared at him, suspiciously.
“Are you Bruce, by any chance?” They asked, simultaneously.
The guy snickered. “The diamond you’re looking for is at the top of the tower. So, if you wanna see it you gotta trust me!” he grunted.
Dad dropped the man and they followed him to the top of the tower.
“Here, take it. You better not snitch, OK,” Bruce said.
The Sochos did not care. They were happy to have their diamond back.
