Get a Clue Page #3

working at The Mercury Herald

in the classifieds

when I got a lead on something.

I did a little investigation

on my own and discovered

a toxic waste dump was hidden

underneath the local burger joint.

So I pitched the story to the editor,

and made the front page of The Herald.

After that, they made me staff writer.

Wow.

There's stories all around you, Lex.

You just have to keep

your eyes open,

and when you get a hunch

about something, investigate it.

- I think I can do that.

- I know you can do that.

You'll be amazed what hard work,

imagination

and a little luck will bring you.

- Good night.

- Hugs and kisses, Dad.

Hugs and kisses, my sweet girl.

...in or around the vehicle.

As you can see behind me,

the vehicle is a light-colored sedan.

Anyone who may have

seen what happened...

- How you doin', man?

- Good. Thanks.

Lexy, sweetie, wake up.

Huh? Dad, what time is it?

Honey, I've got something to

tell you and it's not very easy.

I just got a call from one

of the editors at the paper,

and apparently your

teacher, Mr. Walker...

He's missing.

Wait. What happened?

There isn't much information yet,

but they did find his car in the

East River early this morning.

Oh, my gosh.

And Mr. Walker?

He hasn't been found yet.

There's a lot of speculation,

but things don't look very good.

This is gonna be a tough day

for you. Why don't you get ready,

and I'll walk you to school.

Wow. I can't...

I can't believe this.

Jen! Jen, wake up!

- Huh?

- Mr. Walker... he's missing.

He's what?

News of Mr. Walker's

bizarre disappearance

spread faster than word

of a Barney's Warehouse sale.

All I know is, if he set foot

into that toxic river,

he's gonna need a serious head-to-toe

hydro-exfoliation body wrap.

Even the fish refuse to live there.

Jeez, there's a lot

of cameras here.

I hope they get my good side.

The good thing about being

in mourning is black is always in.

I know. Whoever thought of that

was so far ahead of their time.

I can't believe all the coverage

Mr. Walker's getting.

Who would have thought

he was so popular?

Miss Stern's outfit

is to die for, literally.

Isn't it strange that the day after my

article runs, he just disappears?

Yeah. It's a real shame.

A shame? It's too weird.

All right, Lexy,

so what's the scoop on Mr. Walker?

- What?

- Come on.

I know you have the inside story.

Where is he?

I have no idea, but you're

really starting to bug me.

Well, as you all know, we've had

a bit of a crisis in our school.

Mr. Walk...

Mr. Walker...

Nonetheless, classes will

continue for the time being.

Now, our next

guest speaker is here.

He is a small-business owner
