Swindle Chapters 26-32 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 26 Summary

Having reached too far, Darren falls out of the tree, and the branch he is holding swings toward Swindle’s house, crashing him through the window. The alarm goes off, and Mulroney calls the police. Griffin realizes that in the commotion, the SmartPick and the baseball card have gotten lost. Griffin finds them and calls for the team to scatter, forcing them to leave the ladder and climbing equipment behind. Ben sees Griffin mail an envelope containing the card and asks him where he is sending it. Griffin tells Ben it is better if he doesn’t know. As Griffin bikes home, he is elated that he has pulled off the plan. His excitement fades, however, when he sees police cars in his driveway.

Chapter 27 Summary

It turns out that Griffin’s father called the cops when he saw that his invention was missing. He reprimands Griffin when he brings it back but tells the officers there is nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Swindle has received a message from his security system on his phone. He rushes back to find there has been a break-in. The officer tells Swindle that the safe has been destroyed, but Swindle is more worried about the turkey. He enters the kitchen to see two full dogs, a turkey carcass, and an empty plastic bag lying on the counter.
