1 It's the first day of summer,

the twenty-first of June, like so many days of the year in England,

is often cloudy, or wet, or windy, or ‘not too bad*'.

But today is a lovely summer's day. The sun is shining. The fields

are bright green and yellow in the morning light. And birds are

singing in the trees.

In the distance, on both sides of the river, the red and grey town

of Westbourne is getting ready for a new day.

It's a perfect day for staying at home, for going swimming, playing

football, or listening to music in the shade* of a tree. Unfortunately,

today isn't a holiday. It's Monday. And it's seven thirty.

it



Lorries and cars are rushing around the ring road* that circles the

town.

On one side of the ring road are fields, car parks, some new

houses and a few old farms. On the other side are housing estates*,

business parks*, a few apartment blocks from the 1960s, and lots

of old terraced houses.

Some cars are driving into the centre. Some are going to the business

parks with their new offices, new roads and tidy bushes. Other carsare heading out* to the motorway and the long drive to London.




It's early, but in the parks some people are taking their dogs for a

walk. Or rather, the dogs are taking their owners for a walk. The

dogs look happy and full of energy. Their owners look very tired.

Other people are jogging* and listening to their MP3s, doing

some exercise before the working day begins.

Buses are taking some early workers into the town centre. Street

cleaners are picking up the litter* from last night's takeaways*.

And in the town centre, the clock on the tower of the old Town

Hall shows five to eight.

f i And in a second-floor fla t near the park, a boy is lying in bed.

He has long fair hair and a thin pale* face. His eyes are closed.

He's dreaming.

It's a cold dark night in New York. The snow is falling on the tall

buildings and the streets.

The streets are empty and white.

Then a shape® moves in the darkness and a man steps into thestreet. The yellow light from a streetlamp shows his face.

It's David Delgado, the Great Detective.

*

I

:

David Delgado is tall and thin with fair hair. He is wearing a black

jumper, a long dark coat, and black leather boots. He looks up and

down the street, then holds his hand up to the light. His watchsays 1:30. He has an appointment with Harry, but Harry's late.

Where is he?

I hen David hears a sound - it’s a car! A white limo comes round

I he corner and stops about 30 metres away. The door opens ...

and a huge® man gets out. This isn't Harry. It's Mickey Malone, the

King of Crime! Mickey looks at David then takes something fromhis pocket.

What is it?



'It's eight o' clock! You're late for school!

Now hurry up!'

His mother goes back to the kitchen. David doesn't want to leave

David Delgado in a dangerous situation, but he has no choice. So

he gets up. There are books and comics all around his room. David

loves reading, but he loves writing, too. He writes stories about a

lot of different characters. And his favourite character is David

Delgado, the Great Detective.

'Eat your breakfast quickly, love,’ says his mum.

She is making his lunch. She works at the hospital and she is wearing

her nurse's uniform. She starts work in half an hour and she is in

a hurry.

'OK,' David replies, starting to eat his cereal. His mother looks

quite serious. He knows she worries about him a lot.

‘Sorry I'm late, Mum.'

‘That's all right,' she says, and smiles.

'Now don't forget your sandwiches,’ she says.

'Don't worry.'But ten minutes later, when David runs out of the front door to

catch the bus, his lunch is still on the table.

And then David misses the bus.

He waits another fifteen minutes for the next one.




When it arrives he gets on and goes up the stairs to sit on the top

I loor. He sees that he is the only person on the bus wearing a blue

sweatshirt and grey trousers - the uniform of Westbourne High

School. He's very late.

I )avid likes looking out of the window at the cars, the people, the

.hops and houses. He soon sees two boys. They aren't wearing

school uniforms. A boy with red hair is riding a bicycle, the other

one is running beside him. They are laughing.

'that's odd®,' thinks David. 'They aren't going towards a school.Maybe they have a day off® ... Lucky them!’



The snow is falling on the streets and buildings of New York.It is falling on a long white limo.

It is falling on David Delgado, the Great Detective.

It is falling on Mickey Malone, the King of Crime.

And it is falling on the object Mickey is holding in his hand.

He moves it into the light of the streetlamp.

It's a gun!David Delgado doesn't change his expression.

'Where's Harry?’ asks the Great Detective.

'Harry’s fine,' says Mickey. 'He's in the back of the limo.'

'Can I see him?'

'Not now,' says Mickey. 'He doesn't feel very well.'

And then Mickey points the gun at David Delgado ...

But David soon forgets them ...



David and the

b.ivid doesn't know what happens next to the Great Detective.

I lc hasn't got time to continue the story. The bus stops outside his

■.chool. David runs down the stairs, jumps off the bus, and rushes

II trough the school gates. The playground is empty and silent. David

inns to the entrance.

Inside, the school is empty and silent, too. David walks quickly

ilong the corridors. He can hear teachers talking in the classrooms.

I le looks through the windows and sees the students at their desks.

I le is the only student not in a class.

I inally David stops outside a classroom. He takes a deep breath*,

knocks at the door, and walks in.

I'm sorry, too.xVCome and see me at 3:30.



At lunehtime, David looks for his sandwiches in his bag ... but

they aren't there. They are still sitting on the table in the kitchen

at home. He only finds an open bag of crisps and an old apple.The apple is very old and the crisps are cheese and onion - NOT

his favourite flavour®. But he eats them and then goes out to the

playground. Some girls are talking in small groups, some boys are

playing football, and a small group of his classmates are sitting

on a bench.

'Hey! Dave! Dave the Dreamer!' Jack calls out and the others laugh.

Jack's friends, Liam and Tareq start chanting:

'Dave the Dreamer! Dave the Dreamer!'




11iri) a girl says loudly, ‘Leave him alone, Jack!1

And another girl says. ‘Why don't you grow up? You're pathetic!'

David, Jackand hisgangall lookatZadieand Holly. Zadie is holding

.1 football.

'Il’s your fault David's in trouble,' says Zadie.

'No, it isn't,' says Jack.

'Yes, it is,' says Holly.

David feels a bit silly. He looks at Zadie and Holly, and then he

Hunks of the Great Detective. Girls never save David Delgado!

'()oooh, I'm really scared,' says Jack, pretending® to be frightened,'('nine on, let's go inside. This is getting boring.' And Jack leads his

gang into the school.

'Do you want a game?' Zadie asks David, bouncing the ball.

11, no, that's OK,' David says.



After the last lesson, Mr Johnson makes David stay behind at school.

He has to write ‘I must not talk in class' a hundred times. First of

all, David writes the sentences carefully on separate lines in hisnotebook:

1m i/if no!" fAlfe. In C lA ii.

1»u A lf nof fo lk . In clA-tl.

1hmAIf not" f<U& ir\ C lA il.

But it's too boring. So he writes the words in columns:

1Ml/if not- Ffllt.

Then he tries writing them from right to left:

York night, a white

David Delgado ...

And then he starts thinking of a cold New

limo, Mickey Malone, the King of Crime, and




I he Great Detective!

i i . ivkI Delgado doesn't move. He doesn't say a word. He is watchingMickey Malone. And Mickey Malone is pointing a gun at him.

miii know, it isn't easy being a gangster,' says Mickey. 'I have a lol

mI problems. There's the police. There are the judges*. And there

.in people like Harry. But that's OK. You see, I'm clever and

11icy’re stupid. But I have another problem. And that problem's you,

I >i Igado. You always follow me. You always try to stop me. And I

don't like that. In fact, I hate it. But tonight, my problem is over.

( ioodbye, Delgado.'



But David Delgado takes a stone from his pocket and throws it.

He hits the streetlamp - the street goes black - then Mickey fires

his gun. The bullet hits a wall. David Delgado isn't there!‘Where are you, Delgado?' shouts Mickey. 'Come back!'

But David is running away down the street.

‘Hey, boys!' shouts Mickey again. And three big men in dark suits

get out of the white limo.

‘Get that man!' says Mickey.

'Yes, boss!' the three big men say together.

And then the three gangsters start running ... running after the

Great Detective!




A11 i-r the hundred sentences and another conversation with Mr

liihnson, David decides to walk home. It's a sunny afternoon and

lie’s happy to be out of school at last. He goes into a charityshop* and looks at the books. He finds some detective stories he

K illy likes - but he hasn't got enough money to buy them. 'Maybe

lomorrow' he thinks.

ho he goes back outside into the sun. The sky is a brilliant blue.

11 walks down the road and turns a corner... and sees Jack,

lack is standing in the road, looking in the other direction.

I >avid doesn't want to talk to Jack. He doesn't want to hear ‘Davel he Dreamer' again. He is thinking of walking away ... when Jack

I know, let's look behind the shops.There's nothing in the park.



a David walks up to the old factory. The building is dark and empty

and all its windows are broken. There is a rusty wire fence around

the grounds.This is a good place for a gang to hang out*,' David thinks. He

decides to investigate.

David lifts up a bit of the wire fence and goes under it. Then he

stands up straight and listens. After about a minute he hears a

noise. It is coming from the other side of the factory. It sounds

like a boy's voice.

He walks quietly towards the noise, and then he hears a boy say:

'Let me ride it next.'

The boy is talking about a bike.




David runs quickly along one side of the factory. He looks around

I he corner - and sees a group of four boys. A tall boy with red

hair is riding a bike. David remembers him from the morning.A small boy is looking at him. He is unhappy.

'Come on, it's my turn to ride the bike now,' the small

boy says.

'Shut up, Bobby. You can wait,' the red-haired boy

replies.

The two other boys laugh. One of them

says, 'You can have a ride

tomorrow!’

boys have got cans of

paint and they are

spraying the bikes

blue.

It's the other boy from

that morning.

There are six bikes next

to the wall. The two



David calls Jack on his mobile. He whispers* into his phone.

'Hey, Jack. I'm at the old factory.'

'What are you doing there?''Well, I’m looking at the bicycle thieves' David says.

'Really?' says Jack. 'That's brilliant! But how do you know they're

the thieves?'

David tells Jack about the boy with the red hair. And then he says,

'There are other boys here. They've got seven bikes'

'Seven! That's terrible.'Then Jack asks, ‘How many kids are in the gang?'

'Four.'

‘How old are they?'

'About thirteen or fourteen. I'm not sure.'

'Do you know them?'

'No,' whispers David. ‘They aren't

from our school.'




I )avid is hiding behind the old engine when a boy shouts, 'Hey!'

I t.ivid puts his mobile in his pocket and turns around. The

icd haired boy is sitting on his bike, looking at him.

Who are you?' the red-haired boy asks.

I)avid doesn't answer.

'What are you doing here?'

David doesn't know what to say. He thinks of

IIh-Great Detective. He always gets into trouble*

m David's stories - but he always escapes.

And he always wins. But David can'tirmember what the Great Detective

docs in situations like these.

In (act, he hasn't got time to

Hunk at all.

I Icy, guys! Come here!’

I he- red-haired boy shouts.I )avid is in big trouble.



T h e r e d - h a i r e d b o y p o i n t s a t D a v i d .



f t But he runs into Bobby. They both fall over and David hits the

ground with a crash. Bobby starts crying. David wants to cry, too,

because his arm really hurts*. But he doesn't. He hasn't got timefor crying. He's lying on the ground and thinking fast.

The red-haired boy gets off the bike and walks over to David.

'Get up,' he says.

David doesn't move. He's thinking, but there's nothing he can do.

'Get up!'

David looks up. All the boys are standing over him.

So David stands up slowly and looks at the red-haired boy.

'What do you want?’ the red-haired boy asks.

'I want that bike,' says David.

'And why do you want my bike?' the boy asks.

'It isn't your bike,' David replies. 'It's Jack's

‘Who's Jack?' the red-haired boy asks.



Ten minutes later, Jack is walking along a road of terraced houses

towards the old factory when he gets a text message. It's from

David.

I’M IN TR OUBL E. H EL P

Jack doesn't know what to do. His gang can't help. He's on his own.

But David needs him. So he starts running towards the factory.

Then he sees two people on bikes at the end of the road. They are

wearing sports clothes and carrying tennis rackets. He can see theirfaces. Zadie and Holly! Jack calls out and waves at them.

They can't hear him. They are cycling away. Then he shouts with

all his strength*.

And this time the girls hear him!



Outside the factory, Zadie, Holly and Jack each take a tennis racket

and six tennis balls. Then they crawl* under the wire fence and into

the grounds.’OK,' says Zadie. Turn on your mobile phones, and keep in contact.’

Then Holly and Zadie go round one side of the factory and Jack

goes round the other.

They soon see the bicycle thieves, the stolen bikes, and David

standing against the wall. The four boys are talking in a group,

looking at David. David looks calmly back at them. He is nervous, but

he doesn't show it.

Holly and Zadie hide behind a pile of crates*. Jack hides behind an

old white van. Then Zadie sends Jack a message.

READY?

Jack sends a reply.

READY!




And the action begins.

The red-haired boy says something and the others laugh. Then he

looks again at David.

'OK, let's get him,' he says.

But the four boys don't move towards David because suddenly

tennis balls are hitting them! One, two, three, four - one after

another - Holly, Zadie and Jack fire tennis balls at the boys. And

the tennis balls fly hard, fast, and on target*!

'Ouch!'

■Ow!’

'What's happening?'

'Help!'

The boys jump and duck* and put their hands over their heads.

But the balls don't stop hitting them. Then the tennis players scream*

and shout and the bicycle thieves are terrified!



The gang don't understand what is happening. But the red-haired

boy knows there is only one thing they can do.

'RUN!' he shouts.And three of the boys run towards the hole in the fence, followed

by the flying balls. But the red-haired boy doesn't want to lose

everything. He knocks a ball away, runs to Jack’s bike, gets on it,

and tries to ride to safety.

'Hey! He's taking my bike!’ shouts Jack.

Jack hits all his tennis balls at the red-haired boy, but he doesn't

hit him. He is getting away - on Jack's bike!

But then Jack sees a boy with fair hair running after the cyclist.

It’s David!



I he hole in the fence isn't large enough to cycle through. The

red-haired boy jumps off the bike and tries to push it under the

msty wire. But he stops when he feels a hand on his arm.

I he red-haired boy turns and sees David standing behind him.

I lolly, Zadie and Jack are watching them.

David and the red-haired boy are silent. David doesn't know what

lo say. Then suddenly he starts speaking. His voice is different from

l he Great Detective's, but his words are the same,

leave the bike there. Now get out of here*.'

'OK.'

I hen another sentence comes to David.

'And don't do it again.'

I he red-haired boy nods, then goes through the hole, and runs away.




The three classmates run over to David.

'Are you all right?' Zadie asks.

'I'm fine.''Are you sure?’ asks Holly.

'Yeah, of course I'm sure,' David laughs. 'Thanks for coming!'

David passes the bicycle to Jack.

'I think this is your bike,' he says.

‘David ... I ... well, thanks, David,' Jack says.

He looks down at his bike, then he looks up at David.

'Listen,' he says. 'I’m really sorry about this morning - you know,‘Dave the Dreamer' and all that.'

‘That's OK, Jack. I am a dreamer' David says.

'Hey, no, David,' says Zadie. 'You're a real action hero!'



When David finally gets home his mother is angry. After all, he's

dirty and he's late. And his lunch is still on the kitchen table,

hut David knows that this is a very special day.

And he is happy.
