Then a noise overhead caught his attention. The criminal had climbed through the heating vent. Clawing quickly up the wall, Jasper squeezed through the narrow gap. He was surrounded by darkness. Grabbing his flashlight to guide him, he slowly made his way through the confined space.

Then suddenly something moved in the shadows. Jasper could faintly make out a large round shape. He shined his flashlight around, to find a hairy brown spider blocking his path. "Why couldn't it be a mouse?" Jasper grumbled in protest.

He hesitantly approached the spider, flailing his flashlight for protection. The spider's pincers were ready for attack. He scurried towards Jasper.
