Miles, but that car of Pete's has gone through what Rusty and young Peters gone the detective exclaims well Now we seem to have a starting place Well, I'm sure the techs and mr. Miles won't think that But you see the point of it is those officers don't know rusty and Pete but what's worse the fingerprints They'll find on the chisel on the window of course will be rusty and Pete Well, that's mean mr. Percival fixed it that way He told rusty to bring the chisel on the bar and leave it under the window Yes, and that's what they those people might think that the window was opened by them And and it because rusty fingerprints on the bar and with Pete's car gone when he shouldn't have taken it Looks bad.
