I finished reading The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last week, and although it was good it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. But since it was not two hundred pages long, I am going to finish reading The Thief Lord (like I was before).

After Scipio tries to warn them, he leaves a note and goes back home becuase his father is looking for him. Victor comes to the Star Palace after following Scipio, but with a little team effort everyone helps to tie him up (carefully and without hurting him (they are not gangsters after all). Bo and Victor talk frequently, mostly about his turtle named Paula, and they steal his wallet. Hornet and Prosper, meanwhile, go to Victors office to find if he has any evidence showing that Bo and Prosper are in Italy. Hornet calls Esther, pretending to be Victor's secretary, and tries to convince Esther not to call and that Bo and Prosper aren't in Italy, but it doesn't work, and demands to speak with Victor. Hornet quickly puts the phone away. A few days later Victor asks the orphans how much they really know about Scip, which is not a lot compared to what Victor knows. Victor challenges them to go to a house (Scip's house) and tells them to find out about Scipio himself. There Hornet sneaks in the house and tries to find out about her. Scipio's dad, Dottore Massimo, calls the police and right when Scipio returns home, Hornet is being escorted. The police ask if Hornet knows who Scipio is...
