Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Stolen Diamonds

Cam and Eric puzzle over the arrest of the man who ran away. They stay and watch as the police interview the man in the jewelry store with Mr. Parker. They think about the couple with the baby, and how strange it was that the couple did not have many baby supplies with them. In fact, the couple only had one large rattle. The kids are surprised when the police let the man go. They also notice that the man does not return to the center of the mall this time. Instead, he goes in a different direction—the same way that the strange couple went. Cam feels that something is not right, so the kids decide to follow the man.

Cam and Eric bring along baby Howie as they push through the crowds and follow the man out of the mall and into the street, trying not to be too noticeable. When the man reaches the corner of Minnow Street, he turns and sees the kids. They carry on walking, pretending that they are not following him. However, once he turns down Minnow Street, they backtrack and head in that direction.

They walk down a street under construction and see the man entering the last abandoned house.
