00:00:12,006 --> 00:00:15,679
"Stop!" Ben called to the zombies.

2
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,987
The two monsters jumped at the sound of his voice.

3
00:00:19,988 --> 00:00:24,448
Then they dashed across the lobby, racing toward the construction area.

4
00:00:24,449 --> 00:00:28,634
They dodged into the construction with Ben following behind.

5
00:00:28,635 --> 00:00:31,360
"Come back here!" Ben shouted.

6
00:00:31,361 --> 00:00:36,079
It was dark, and the zombies were a good distance away from him.

7
00:00:36,087 --> 00:00:42,771
But these zombies were taller than the zombies at Monster Academy, and—<font color="#ffff00"><i>Brrpp! Brrpp!</i></font>

8
00:00:42,772 --> 00:00:47,413
Suddenly an alarm blared and lights flashed on. <font color="#ffff00"><i>Brrpp! Brrpp!</i></font>

9
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:50,458
"Don't move!" yelled a stern voice.

10
00:00:50,459 --> 00:00:58,660
Ben froze in terror as two museum guards ran toward him.

11
00:00:58,661 --> 00:01:04,757
"We caught a thief!" said one guard. His nametag read Bob.

12
00:01:04,758 --> 00:01:10,634
"It's a ghost!" said the other one. Her name was Hazel.

13
00:01:10,635 --> 00:01:13,367
"B-b-but . . . It wasn't me!"

14
00:01:13,368 --> 00:01:18,073
Ben tried to explain everything, but the guards just stared at him.

15
00:01:18,074 --> 00:01:21,493
"Don't try to escape, ghost!" Bob snapped.

16
00:01:21,494 --> 00:01:24,416
"The director will be here in a minute."

17
00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:27,661
The two guards each grabbed one of Ben's arms.

18
00:01:27,662 --> 00:01:34,322
Ben moaned. He knew he could float away from them, but what good would it do?

19
00:01:34,323 --> 00:01:42,949
He'd just wait for Mr. Freaky and Miss Bungle to arrive and explain everything.

20
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:50,429
Soon Dr. Bones stomped through the construction and into the lobby.

21
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:54,137
"What's going on here?" she demanded.

22
00:01:54,138 --> 00:01:58,616
"This ghost was stealing Egyptian jewelry," Hazel said.

23
00:01:58,617 --> 00:02:03,881
"But don't worry, Dr. Bones." She smiled proudly. "We caught him."

24
00:02:03,882 --> 00:02:07,924
"I didn't steal anything!" Ben protested.

25
00:02:07,925 --> 00:02:11,061
"Empty your pockets," Bob ordered.

26
00:02:11,062 --> 00:02:16,896
Ben did, but all he had was a gum wrapper and a few coins.

27
00:02:16,897 --> 00:02:20,863
"Where'd you put the jewels?" Bob demanded.

28
00:02:20,864 --> 00:02:24,360
"I didn't steal the jewels," Ben repeated.

29
00:02:24,361 --> 00:02:29,035
"But I saw who did. Like I said—it was two zombies!"

30
00:02:29,036 --> 00:02:32,741
"Where's Mr. Freaky?" Dr. Bones demanded.

31
00:02:32,742 --> 00:02:37,615
"I told Mayor Hubbletree that this monster visit would lead to trouble."

32
00:02:37,616 --> 00:02:40,130
She sneered at Ben.

33
00:02:40,131 --> 00:02:46,535
"But I didn't expect you monsters to steal museum treasures."

34
00:02:46,536 --> 00:02:51,144
Ben shook his head, trying to explain to the museum director now.

35
00:02:51,145 --> 00:02:55,356
"I saw some zombies. But they're not from Monster Academy!"

36
00:02:55,357 --> 00:02:58,351
Dr. Bones stared at Ben.

37
00:02:58,352 --> 00:03:05,185
"You're the only monsters here today. No monsters ever come to People Place."

38
00:03:05,186 --> 00:03:08,663
"Except for Uncle Tut," Ben muttered under his breath.

39
00:03:08,664 --> 00:03:13,931
But Dr. Bones had a good point. Where had the zombies come from?

40
00:03:13,932 --> 00:03:17,208
"We'll get to the bottom of this situation."

41
00:03:17,209 --> 00:03:22,921
Dr. Bones looked at the guards. "Bring this ghost to my office."

42
00:03:22,922 --> 00:03:27,615
"Yes, Dr. Bones," Bob said. "Should we call the police?"

43
00:03:27,616 --> 00:03:30,348
"No," Dr. Bones said quickly.

44
00:03:30,349 --> 00:03:33,309
"The museum doesn't need bad publicity.

45
00:03:33,310 --> 00:03:35,558
It's lucky I was working late.

46
00:03:35,559 --> 00:03:39,563
Bring the rest of the monsters too."

47
00:03:39,564 --> 00:03:47,434
The guards led Ben outside, taking the long way to Dr. Bones' office.

48
00:03:47,435 --> 00:03:58,614
The museum director unlocked doors with her keys as they went, relocking everything behind them.

49
00:03:58,615 --> 00:04:02,923
Soon Ben was sitting in a chair in Dr. Bones' office.

50
00:04:02,924 --> 00:04:09,010
Mr. Freaky paced up and down the director's office nervously.

51
00:04:09,011 --> 00:04:12,250
"Dr. Bones," the principal said.

52
00:04:12,251 --> 00:04:15,981
"Ben insists that some strangers stole the jewels.

53
00:04:15,982 --> 00:04:18,752
I'm sure he's telling the truth."

54
00:04:18,753 --> 00:04:23,910
Dr. Bones glared at Ben.

55
00:04:23,911 --> 00:04:28,775
"Where are these two zombies?" she demanded.

56
00:04:28,776 --> 00:04:35,799
She pointed to the hallway, where the rest of the monsters were lined up, looking sleepy and scared.

57
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,421
"Do you see them out there?"

58
00:04:40,422 --> 00:04:43,819
Ben peered through the glass and then shook his head.

59
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:48,254
"They're not there. At first I thought maybe the zombies were new students.

60
00:04:48,255 --> 00:04:52,010
But they are definitely not from Monster Academy."

61
00:04:52,011 --> 00:04:56,450
"There are exactly three zombies on this trip," Mr. Freaky said.

62
00:04:56,451 --> 00:05:00,311
"And they are all standing in the line outside!"

63
00:05:00,312 --> 00:05:06,113
The guards scowled. "That ghost is lying!" Hazel said.

64
00:05:06,114 --> 00:05:12,310
"Dr. Bones, we need to search everyone!"

65
00:05:12,311 --> 00:05:22,689
One by one, the guards made all the monsters come in and empty their sleeping bags, their backpacks, their lunchboxes, and their pockets.

66
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:33,546
The monsters' belongings piled up.

67
00:05:33,547 --> 00:05:43,542
The guards found spell books, Mog's collection of comic books, <font color="#ffff00"><i>Scary People Stories</i></font>, and snacks—dried bat wings and crunchy spiders.

68
00:05:43,543 --> 00:05:47,850
But there were no Egyptian jewels.

69
00:05:47,851 --> 00:05:53,612
"Where did you stash the loot, ghost?" Bob demanded. "Confess!"

70
00:05:53,613 --> 00:05:57,024
"I didn't steal anything!" Ben insisted.

71
00:05:57,025 --> 00:06:00,305
"How many times do I have to tell you?"

72
00:06:00,306 --> 00:06:04,329
Mr. Freaky's noses were wiggling like mad.

73
00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:06,545
"Where's Mayor Hubbletree?

74
00:06:06,546 --> 00:06:10,213
This situation is totally out of control!"

75
00:06:10,214 --> 00:06:12,703
By now it was very late.

76
00:06:12,704 --> 00:06:15,522
Dr. Bones turned to the guards.

77
00:06:15,523 --> 00:06:18,430
She looked exhausted.

78
00:06:18,431 --> 00:06:23,297
"It's time to bring the suspect to the police station," she murmured.

79
00:06:23,298 --> 00:06:26,332
"I'll meet you there soon."

80
00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:29,796
"Okay, Dr. Bones," the guards said.

81
00:06:29,797 --> 00:06:32,959
Dr. Bones got her coat from a nearby rack.

82
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,366
As she put it on, something fell out of her pocket and clattered to the floor.

83
00:06:38,367 --> 00:06:45,652
Everyone stared at the object—it was a glittering piece of golden jewelry!
