However, they were interrupted when a boy enters the office, who introduces himself as Elijah, which relieves everyone, since it can be with that he needs help to solve a crime, however, he denies it saying that he wants to work with them, which leaves everyone confused, and Ezra refuses the request, but the boy manages to convince him after he says he can do everything, which made Ezra ask Elijah to help them find a receipt, so they don't get tired of it, but they were interrupted more than once.

That person was Amelia, who shocked everyone by saying that someone stole her bike and wants their help to look for it and find the one responsible. Maudie accepts the case, and Elijah asks to go along, as he is excited to see the Inbestigators in action. Desperate Amelia says that everyone can go and look for her bike. So, everyone went looking for the bike, looking at one corner and then another, but they didn't find it. Maudie asks if Amelia really had left the bike there, however, Elijah interrupts her asking what type of bike she has, and Amelia replies that it is a purple mountain bike. After Amelia replies that she hasn't left her at home, Kyle says that this is how all the things he had were stolen, since he actually lost all of it. Maudie says they should start interrogating the neighbors, however, Elijah interrupts showing everyone tire marks on the lawn, which refer to a mountain bike, which leaves everyone impressed, however, Maudie considered this too fast for a real investigator, and Elijah says that everyone should follow the marks, which will lead to the place where the bike was hidden, and everyone starts to follow him.
