“Are those the costumes for our new magic trick, the Bunny Bluff?” asked Ziggy.

“They sure are,” said Rita as she handed them to the young pup. “These should fit you three detectives perfectly.”

“Unfortunately, we’re not here for a magic trick,” said Rora. “Do you know anyone who works with Labra-cadabra-dor?”

Rita took two jumps back at the mention of the magician. “All the bunnies in this neighborhood know to stay away from Labra. He’s bad news.”

“Any chance you know where he’s been hiding?” Rora asked.

“I’m sorry,” Rita said. “I don’t. I wish I could help.”

“Thanks, anyway,” Rora said. “It looks like we’ll need to hit the bricks to find Labra ourselves.”

“And thanks for the costumes,” said Ziggy.

As they were leaving Rita’s den, a special news report sounded on the TV. “This just in!” the reporter said. “There has been a bank robbery at Pawston First National Bank—and the criminal is the famous detective Rider Woofson! We’ve just been given the following video of the crime.”

The video showed the inside of an empty bank vault. Without warning, a cloud erupted in the vault, and Rider appeared out of thin air! He looked right at the camera and waved. Then the detective started grabbing everything in sight and shoving the money into a bag. Once he was done, he vanished into another cloud.

The screen switched back to the reporter. “However, Detective Woofson is not the strangest part of this robbery. It appears that the video is dated . . . well, in the future! The time stamp on the video is for tomorrow night!”

“So what does that mean?” asked Ziggy.

Rora turned off the TV. “It means the entire city just watched a crime that hasn’t been committed yet. And we’re going to stop it!”
