Chapters...6...7...8...
Chapter 6: In this chapter, Anna interviews Mr. Snickerbottom for his SSC fans, he said that when he becomes the president he will take more care of United States Flag. Mr. Snickerbottom looked a little suspicious because when Anna interview him he asked her
“So do you think it is gone? Like out of town” And Mr. Snickerbottom said “What gave you that Idea” I think at this point of the book that Mr. Snickerbottom knows the location of where the flag is.
Chapter 7: In this chapter, Anna was trying to make a list of suspects and motives. Jose and Henry were not interested in helping her. She was looking around the airport for people who looked suspicious. They then watch Jose’s father become upset on the phone and he tells them Jose’s mother was taken into custody as a possible suspect. (Which kind of makes sense because she spent so much time working on the flag.
Chapter 8: Jose was defensive about his mom being taken into custody because he doesn’t think that she did it. He said that she loved that flag more than him. Jose and Henry got into it because Henry was implying Jose’s mom did it and we learned that Henry’s mom passed away 3 years ago. They all go looking for suspects, one in particular, a man with a snake tattoo in Pickersgill Diner, they started calling him "Snake-Arm. They learn that he “went home” (but there was a bad snowstorm and he couldn’t have). They see him following Snickerbottom through the airport.
