We left Flora's in haste of sleep. I'm still puzzled from what Chelmy told us.
Trucy looked excited to wear what she had in her bag. I wasn't.
"Look out!" Luke shouted.
But I was too late. I stepped in a net similar to a bear trap.
I'm fine!
Luke wrote something down.
(Help me down, write down later!)
Well I guess I'll just be up here forever.
"Apollo! Have some faith!" Athena angrily shouted.
Well I'm hoping these ropes will loosen themselves!Mr. Wright any ideas?
"I've been practicing a magic trick based off that prosecutor, Blackquill!" Trucy yelled up at me.
Luke you're my only hope!
"There seems to be a puzzle in these ropes Apollo!" Luke shouted "Can you solve it for me please!"
Puzzle #4
These ropes are up in a specific knot!
Yet this knot seems impossible to untie. You can free your self from this if you know if you how to though.
(A knot that seems impossible to untie.)
"Try up down up down left right lef-" I cut Mr. Wright off.
That's a gaming cheat code! I need answers!
(Come on Apollo think! A knot that seems impossible to untie...)
Alexander the Great!
"Is that your way of cursing?" Athena asked.
"No he means the Gordian's knot!" Trucy shouted.
"The simplest way is the best way!" Luke caught on.
Can you hand me a knife?
Luke ran in back to Flora's and grabbed a knife meant for cutting bread.
"Will this work?" Luke asked.
Sure! Wait don't throw it up here!
"Hand it to me Luke!"
Trucy said. " I guess I can practice that magic trick after all!"
Trucy twirled the knife in her hand and shot it up just where I needed it.
Luke looked amazed.
I started cutting the ropes right were they need too.
AAAAAGGHH! Ugh.
I landed on my butt with the knife landing a little off to the side.
Mr. Wright and Luke helped me to my feet.
Why. Was that. There.
"You sound out of breath Polly!"
Trucy giggled.
Well yeah I almost fell to my death there.
"You're over dramatic Apollo!" Athena complained.
"But what is a bear trap doing in the middle of London!" Luke exclaimed.
"I think it's best the we get some sleep okay?" Mr. Wright encouraged us.
"Alright then!" Trucy exclaimed.
BAAAAAAAAA!
What was that!
Luke quickly analyzed the situation and started running towards the sound.
"It's a kidnapping!" Luke exclaimed. 
(Now I'm back in that bear trap. This time is Pundian's knot.  Don't lie that was good.)
"We're losing them!" Trucy shouted.
Puzzle #5
A baby goat has been kidnapped!
To figure out what path the kidnapper took you need to follow these set of clues.  Athena and Apollo are listening to the Baas of the goat.  Since a bit to dark to rely on sight.
Apollo says it's to the left.
Athena says its to the right.
Although the contradict they are both correct!
So according to these clues is it
Maximilian crt.
Acropolis avn.
Pivot rd.
?
Trucy asked," If they are both correct, wouldn't it mean they are going onto the same road?"
Luke answered "Not necessarily!" While he is still running toward the other streets.
"I still think I'm right about them being on the opposite sides of the street."
"I think so too."
"Oh I get it they are standing on the opposite sides of the road. Just diagonally."
"Are you saying he's on Acropolis avenue!"
Trucy nods as she runs into the street.

"You're not going anywhere thief!" Athena shouted.
" !" I heard a gasp from the middle of the street. Then they started to run towards me.
Not here either! Here comes Justice!
We both charged at the criminal but when he arrived. He disappeared,
Leaving the baby goat here.
"Aww it's so fluffy." Athena cooed.
"Where. Is. The Baby. Goat?" Luke panted.
Right here but the guy disappeared.
Luke scribbled something down in his journal.
"So right now we have 4 mysteries:
#1 How did Comet S. Ucide die if the Professor is innocent?
#2 Where is Barton?
#3 What was the big net for?
#4 Why was someone stealing a goat?

We can't really solve this today can't we?
"Guys lets go to sleep and think this over this morning." Luke said. Yawning after.
"But I'm *Yawn* never-mind. I'm tired." Trucy said to herself.
