Nancy Drew's " Who Would Buy Old Ragged Shoes for $100?"

This time I am giving you the privilege to become a detective and start investigate the story after you read this real life event. It happened at my work site. However, I am changing the students' names which involved one of my students.

The scene occurred in P.E locker room. The three young good looking boys decided to exchange the shoes before the next class. The incident began:

Alex: He had a brand new pair of Van shoes. He had a soft heart by loaning his brand new shoes to the second student, Brian.

Brian: He took them and put them in his P.E. locker. However, he had an eye for a pair of skater shoes. He asked the third person, Chris, if he could use his skater shoes.

Chris: He would accept Brian's offer to keep his skater shoes if Brian pays Chris.

Then, the story began at Detective Nancy Drew's office with all of these three boys: Alex, Brian and Chris to get the story straighten.

Chris was telling the detective that Brian gave him a hundred dollar bill. Detective Drew asked Brain if it was true.

Brian replied, " No, it is not true. I gave ten dollars to the cafeteria. " The detective had asked her partner to check it out at the cafeteria. Unfortunately, the cashier had gone home, except one of the cafeteria workers came to assist the partner by checking it out how much Brian owed to cafeteria. The result was that he only owed one dollar. The partner went back to give a part of the report to Detective Nancy Drew.

Detective Nancy Drew asked Chris if it was true that he had the one hundred dollars. He then showed her the hundred dollar bill. A REAL Hundred Dollar on a school campus?! Detective Drew had asked Chris to give him the bill. Chris had a poker face when he handed her a HUNDRED dollar to Detective Drew. Why would he have a poker face? Why was it so easy for Chris to hand over the $100?"

She also questioned Alex whether he had seen the scene. His good looking response was," I didn't see anything." But the question still is "Why would Alex lent his brand new Van shoes to Brian?". "Is Alex an innocent bystander or is he some how involved in this $100 transaction?".

The next scene was Alex and Brian were assigned to pick up the skater shoes that Brian had left it in his P.E. Locker. After the boys came back with a pair of skater shoes, Detective Nancy Drew was bewildered that Alex "would give him a hundred dollar" in cash because the shoes were a pair of REALLY old, filthy, and ragged shoes.

So, he commanded Brian to give Chris his old ragged skater back. The mystery is "Why did Alex lend Brian his new pair of Vans and why did Chris say that Brian gave him $100 for his old ragged skater shoes?".

Hearing your possible thoughts would be appreciated or even better to have a possible solution for Detective Nancy Drew.
