Read this excerpt from "The Catnapper."For the next week, Cara and Wesley tailed Barney Buckner, but instead of clues, they were shocked to find that he wasn't the bully they expected. He was always helping little old ladies cross the street, or mowing some elderly gentleman's lawn. "This guy isn't a bully, he's boring," Wesley said. "So much for stereotypes."

B
Barney is going to adopt cats who need homes.
C
Barney will be identified as the person who has been stealing cats.
D
