Chapter 1
Written by Matthew Sinn A.K.A. Sinbad the Mountain
My name is Garfield and I was a large belly orange fur cat with black stripes. Who for as long as I could recall. Had always loved lasagna since I was only a kitten. While living in Metro City. Who was at home one day by myself, who was about to enjoy the lasagna that I've just heated within the microwave. A couldn't wait to devour this wonderful tasty meal. When I heard the front door bell ring. With me stopping with my tracks while asking myself. Who could that be?
As I went to the front door to see who it is and answered the door cautiously. Since I wasn't obviously tall enough to look through the peep hole. With me taking a quick look and could clearly see that it was a 30 year old delivery man. Standing at 5'8, thick dark brown moustache, bald head and brown colour eyes. Facing me and speaking. I have a delivery for a Garfield. Surprised by this I didn't recall ordering anything through the mail. Yet also knew that I might as well take the package.
So I could get back to my meal. Who signed the paper for it as he gave me this small box before leaving the front door here. Who was about to go back to my wonderful warm meal. When I heard an odd noise. That sounded like a door opening. Which I've found odd while asking myself. What was that? As I went to the kitchen, where I made a shocking discovery. Which caused me to cry out in shock and fear. Ah.....! For someone had stolen my lunch and had fled out the back door.
Who couldn't believe this while asking myself in shock. Who broke in and stole my lunch?! Which was a really good question as I quickly looked outside into the backyard. Where I couldn't see anyone out here. A could only assume that whoever broke in. Must have done it when I was answering the door. Yet I also couldn't understand who would have done this. Yet alone why. But one thing was very clear. That I needed to call the police and was about to do this. When I quickly realized something terrible. That if I call them and say somebody stole my lunch.
Then they might think I'm pulling some kind of practical joke. Which would be really bad. As I now stood here within the kitchen while thinking to myself. What could I possibly do? Which was a really good question. As I kept thinking here until getting a crazy idea. As I dial in the number for none other than the great detective, Inspector Gadget. Standing at 5'8 tall, dressed within this light grey trench coat, black hair and brown colour eyes. Who explained what happened and managed to convince him to come here. Who later arrived where he started looking around the kitchen here.
For any sort of clues onto who had broke in with Inspector Gadget curiously asking me. Tell me Garfield. When you answered the front door, did you hear anyone coming in through the back door? I replied. No....I didn't. Not even foot steps within the kitchen. Finding this interesting the inspector began thinking here as he now asked. Could you think of anyone who would do this? I simply shook my head no. As he kept thinking here before speaking. I see....then perhaps whoever snuck in. Must not have been wearing any shoes. But rather came in with only their socks on their feet. This seemed to make sense.
As I then spoke. If you'r right about this inspector. Then they must have took off on foot. Which means somebody might have scene them too. Fully agreeing with me we began asking the neighbours. To see if any of them had scene the lasagna thief. But that was sadly not the case. As we kept asking around until we've found one witness. Who claimed that they saw an unusual man walking around while carrying what looked like lasagna in their hands. Heading somewhere west of here. its us thanking them before heading off within the Gadget Mobile. With me glad that somebody spotted the lunch thief. For I couldn't wait to see this man be arrested for breaking into my home.
But for also snatching my lunch of all things. Who drove around until we've spotted the man walking into an alleyway. As Inspector Gadget pulled over and quickly got out while calling out to the mystery man. Metro Police! Stay where you are! That's when the mystery man suddenly ran as Inspector Gadget along with myself began chasing after them. Who was running fast as we were doing our best to try and catch up with him. Yet for someone who stole my lasagna he was fast. As Inspector Gadget quickly spoke to me while running. Grab onto my back.
Unsure of what he was planning here. I leaped as high as I possibly could here. Grabbing onto the Inspector Gadgets back as he quickly spoke. Go, Go Gadget Rocket Skates. Causing a pair of rocket powered skates to pop out of his shoes before speeding up really fast and getting close to reaching the lunch thief before us. When he quickly turned right a slid through a large hole within a wooden fence. As we flew past it and crashed into some garbage cans ahead. Which somewhat stopped us, but also got sadly covered within smelly trash of all things. Which was really gross but also the least of our problems here.
As we quickly got up and rushed towards the hole within the fence. Where we squeezed through it and started looking for the lunch thief. But he was nowhere to be found. Which was really bad as we looked all over the place. Yet we couldn't find him anywhere and could only assume that he sadly escaped. Which was really annoying. Since we were so....close to catching him. Only for him to sadly getaway and go who knows where. As I stood here and asked.
