Magic in the Water Page #2

- Wait, wait.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

"Dad's Easter. June 20th."

I hate to tell you this, Ash, but I don't

think there's a cassette player here.

That's okay, I can hear them in my head.

I just locked that.

Yeah.

- Leave it locked!

- Chicken. Chicken.

I'm not chicken.

Just close the damn window!

- What are you chicken of?

- Josh!

What is going on?

Hormones.

I asked him to close the window,

and he called me a chicken.

You're two rational human beings,

I've got work to do.

Three words:
Deal with it.

Daddy! Hey, Dad!

Daddy!

Dad!

Dad!

The monster! He's real! He ate my cookies.

You mean, you lost your cookies.

Dad!

Greetings!

I'm Joe Pickled Trout,

your property manager.

Dad! Orky, he ate my cookies.

Don't worry about it, honey.

Get you some more.

Morning.

It's really my uncle Kipper's property.

He lives in the main house,

but he's past the day.

About three fries short of a happy meal.

We keep him sedated.

I bet I could drive this.

How about this?

Only $500 extra for the month.

I could definitely drive that.

Come on, Dad.

Anyone for a tour?

It's on the house.

There hasn't been a sighting since '89,

so business is kind of slow.

How long has this Orky thing

been a tourist attraction?

Only since I took over.

My uncle Kipper has considered himself

a bit of a purist.

- Joe!

- Hey, Bobby. Hey, Mary Elle.

Now he thinks

I've somehow gone commercial.

Joe's Orky EMPORIUM

Here we are, Orky Central.

Big bucks scientific expedition.

The Japanese have developed this new,

super hi-tech radar...

that can sweep the entire lake.

They just might find old Orky,

unless he pulls one of his special tricks.

Tricks?

Native legend has it that he can

change himself into another animal.

Even a human being.

That's why he's never been caught.

Bet I could drive that.

What would they do if they found him?

Probably turn him into a movie star.

More like giant sushi. Slice and dice, baby.

No, he's considered

a sacred creature in Japan.

They wouldn't harm him.

They just want to get a closer look at him.

Who are those one-armed dudes?

They're the Hardy brothers.

They were working

on the docks at the mill one night...

when Orky leapt right out of the lake

and took an arm off each of them.

Every time a new expedition comes to town,

they follow right behind them...

waiting for the right moment to get revenge.

They're out for blood.

Dad, could I ask you something?

Hold on, honey.

Too sweet.

Why don't you go out and play?

There is nothing to do here.

Use your imagination.

CHAPTER 1

Can I take the boat out

and go look for Ashley's monster?

Could be worth millions.

You know, for college.

Later.

Come on, guys, I got work to do.
