The Case of Big Hex

Our brother Yonas dictated this to me and I typed it. It is a piece of Nate the Great fan fiction.

By Yonas Romberg



    Once there was a boy. His name was Nate. He was sleeping on his bed. Suddenly somebody called him. It was Rosamond. One of her cats was lost. It was Big Hex. He said, "Which cat?"

"Big Hex," Rosamond said.

"Should I come to your house?"

"Yes. Yes you should."

So Nate came to Rosamond's house. He saw that one of Rosamond's cats was missing.

"Where did you see him the last time you saw him?"

"On my bed."

"Where should I look?"

"Just call Annie."

"Are you sure that you saw him in your bed?"

"I'm sure I'm sure. Well, I think I'm sure."

"Can I go back to sleep now?"

"No you can't. We're in the middle of a case, Nate."

"Well, when will the case be over, Rosamond?" Nate said.

"It will be over in the morning."

"When is the morning?" Nate said.

"Soon."

"When is soon?"

"We're trying to find Big Hex."

"Where does Big Hex like to go?"

"Under the chair."

"What chair?"

"The chair that you're staring at."

"Oh. That chair. Then let's look under the chair."

"Oh. That's a great idea. I never knew I'd think of that."

Nate and Rosamond looked under the chair. They didn't find Big Hex there.

"Now can I go to sleep?"

"You're great, Nate. But no."

"I just want to say this. Fang ate him."

He had kept it a secret because it would freak her out and she would cry and he didn't want to see Rosamond cry.

Nate said, "Let's look for Plain Hex, even though we're staring at him. But, if you want to see him, that would be really weird, because he's still alive, but it doesn't show his fur, just his bones."

Rosamond begged her cats to find another Big Hex. The cats went to the pet shop. They just walked in. They didn't see the No Cats Allowed sign. When they walked in, they didn't notice there was a big fat man chasing them. Until they looked behind them. They just started chasing the fat man until Rosamond saw it. She screamed. Rosamond just grabbed part of a shelf and banged it on the fat man. The fat man fell down on his big fat butt. But thankfully the cats were still alive. The man just flopped down dead.

And then Rosamond took her cats back home. Then Rosamond told Nate that he could go home and go back to sleep. So Nate went to bed. He was dreaming about the fat man, dead. He was dreaming about the fat man being his father.
