Dash to Catch David before He Leaves the Country
With Joyce's tip off to DaVid, the LKI agents had to make a run to their cars and hurry back to home base to identify DaVid's alias and catch him at the airport. Given a partial fingerprint and voiceprint, the LKI agents had to search the Interpol data base to confirm DaVid's fake identity so that Agent Mountain could warn her fellow agents at the local airports.
Friday Meeting a Success
LKI and FBI agents descended on Joyce and made the arrest.
Here Mel first meets Joyce at the Dog Park.
LKI Agent in training "Ed" and "117" get close to the action.
Mel confronts Joyce about the code on the picture.

Pick Up at E
LKI agents made a successful pick up at drop E and discovered a painting!
[picture redacted]
Due to a few minor oddities, such as the wrong date on a date cipher shift, and the observing of two packages at the pick up, and the fact that "Joyce," Mel's handler, wanted the package we picked up deliverd on Wednesday, not at the usual Friday meeting, we suspected something was wrong.
At the pool LKI agents were again surprised with a secretly dropped off message, this one in a code that warned the agents to keep the painting, though they were in danger.
We decided to forge the painting, which we needed to do in order to pass off a fake painting to Joyce and buy time. It is sad to consider that Joyce had been turned.

Art Forgery Suspected
DaVid, a notorious art forger, was our assignment. Apparently he had escaped from prison in Europe and was now in the US.

The Home Base and Drop C and Drop E
As the Home Base has been relocated and outfitted with entirely new staff, LKI has been able to declassify the files on DaVid.
LKI (Little Kids Interpol) was working with five new recruits. "Mel," the boss of home base, and "Gary," the operations guy, and "M," the code master and watchful eye, needed to find replacements.
Below is the exterior of the home base, a typical house occupied by a mom (Mel), a dad (Gary), a grandma (M), and a teenage daughter ("Olivia") and another oft absent daughter "Maggie."
Drop C, where LKI often received their instructions in a coded message inside an "everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese, and a coffee with cream," (Whatever you do, don't ask for two sugars.)
Ro's Cleaners, an apparently enemy outfit, who kept constant surveillance on our activities, and Elmwood Sweet Shop, drop E.
Spy Kids Week
As the files on the recent capturing of DaVid become declassified, we will update this site.

Trainees Solve First Mystery: Who Stole the Linen Shirt?
CSI recruits did excellent work in discovering the criminal (John) behind the linen shirt stolen from the smashed display case at the mall.
After testing fibers, hairs, and fingerprints, 2 of the 3 teams correctly identified John as the guilty agent.
Interestingly enough, CSI School Professor Woody's team failed to find the guilty party!
Learn more here!
JW gets ready for an experiment.
Hannah looks at some hair under the microscope.
In this series we see Gus burning some fibers to see if they were natural or not. Manmade fiber don't burn as much as they melt and bead up.
