Felix McGee and Rupert Dugan were on the sidewalk near the exit lane of the parking lot, screaming in each other’s faces. Oscar, a security guard, was trying to keep them from putting their fists in each other’s faces. It wasn’t easy. Both boys were built like barrels. Felix played tackle on the seventh-grade football team. Rupert was the star of the seventh-grade wrestling team. “Those two have never liked each other,” Sally said. “In fact, they hate each other.” “We’d better find out what this is about,” Encyclopedia said. The detectives walked their bikes onto the sidewalk. Felix shook his fist under Rupert’s nose. “You’re cleared for takeoff, fatso!” Rupert shook his fist under Felix’s jaw. “If I hit you with this, you’d better have wings that fit you.” Oscar was glad to see Encyclopedia and Sally. He wouldn’t have to separate the two boys by force. He let the young detectives take over. Felix and Rupert were glad, too. They were saved from having to make good their threats to punch each other out.
