Framed ch. 27-29 pg. 201-218

The kids began to search the school for the pack rat that they believe has "stolen" the super bowl ring that has gotten Griffin into so much trouble. They have set traps all over school, and about an hour into their mission, they catch what they believe is the guilty rat. Savannah takes a leash she normally uses for her guinea pig and puts it on the rat. She hopes that the rat will take the kids to its nest, where it probably has the super bowl ring. Just as savannah predicted the rat takes them to its nest, but theres only one problem. The nest is in the ceiling. Pitch, the climbing expert, gets up to the ceiling, looks in and sees the football ring! Except when whe goes to get it she doesnt reach, which makes things alot harder. The group then has to hoist Ben up so he can reach because hes the smallest. Ben gets up and grabs the super bowl ring with much difficulty, and had about reached the ground when Darren comes in. Darren begans trying to make deals with the kids, but then Dr. Evil steps into the room!
