The next morning they find themselves together again, thanks to a freak snowstorm that has shut down the Washington D. C. airport and stranded thousands of travelers. Then the news reports that the Star Spangled Banner was stolen sometime after the gala at the museum, and there appear to be no suspects.
Anna, who writes for her school newspaper and whose mother is a news reporter, begins to think like an investigative journalist and figures the stolen artifact must also be snowed in at the airport. What follows is some pretty zany and dangerous adventures by the three youngsters, who discover they are all part of a secret society charged with protecting valuable works of art.
Bad guys posing as good guys, good guys assumed to be bad guys, and bunch of innocent people wrongly accused keep this mystery moving at a good clip. You'll have to read the book yourself to find out if these three unlikely youngsters do indeed Capture the Flag.
