Where’s Waldo?

Or rather, where is my smartphone?

It is usually lying on my desk, right in front of me, next to the little stylus thingie. The phone is normally staring at me, daring me to pick it up and start using it. Well, not today. It’s gone! This is what greeted me today.

I went into Mr. Ken’s office to see if he had the phone, but this is what I saw:

No Mr. Ken either! Very suspicious, don’t you agree? I think the missing smartphone and missing Mr. Ken are not a coincidence. What do you think?

You may wonder at the complete lack of clutter on Mr. Ken’s desk. That is the normal state of affairs for him. Other than seeing him sitting in the chair, you would never know whether he is here or not.

Now it may be that a thief has come into the house and stolen the smartphone. Somehow I don’t think that is the case. After all, the smartphone is in my office on the second floor. To get to this room, one would have to walk by the kitchen and walk by many Peeps. Because you know it is that time of year – Peep time! So if a thief came into the house, he would have stolen the Peeps, don’t you think?

Or perhaps Mr. Ken is in our living room, madly texting his twin brother who lives in South Carolina. They usually talk about the weather. But no sign of Mr. Ken anywhere in the house.

So what do you think happened to Mr. Ken and the smartphone?
