The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #3

Yeah.

Sully.

She's staying with her grams

this weekend.

Mickey, about yesterday.

There's something that you need

to know about your grandpa.

There was a good reason

That grandpa jack

gave me that rock.

I just have to figure out

what it is.

Hand me the pliers, sully.

Get this up, and it'll be

running smooth like pudding.

I didn't think you'd show.

Morning, Mickey.

Good morning.

Sorry to hear

about your grandpa.

Jack and I were good friends.

Thanks.

Um, we should get going.

It's a little bit of a ride.

See you, grams.

Bye. Have fun.

Bye!

We're getting close.

Just a few more miles.

Miles? Seriously?

Things are a lot closer

in the city.

Watch the roots.

It gets a little bumpy.

What did he leave you

that was so important

He had to make it

this hard to find?

I don't know.

I was in the, like,

third grade

When grandpa jack brought me

here for the first time.

Wow.

I've never seen a stump

this big before.

I know it's here somewhere.

What do you think

it means?

Wait.

This symbol's different.

The one on the map had an "n"

in the middle of the triangle.

Yeah, you're right.

"37"?

37 what?

Well...

The other symbol

on the map had a north arrow,

So if we, like,

combine the two together,

We get 37 north.

Paces,

like for buried treasure.

37 paces.

But which way is north?

Okay, so how is a pocket watch

going to help us?

We need a compass.

Well, grandpa jack taught me

how to use a pocket watch

As a compass.

Of course.

You just point the hour hand

at the sun

And put a blade of grass

on the face of the watch

And put it right in between

12:
00 and the hour hand,

And then the blade of grass

should point south and north.

That's amazing.

He said

it would always keep me pointed

In the right direction.

One...

Two, three, four,

Five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten,

11, 12, 13, 14...

35, 36, 37.

So now we dig, right?

I guess so.

Hey,

the ground looks soft here.

I see something.

I haven't seen this one before.

It's some sort

of geometric shape.

So open it already.

What is that?

A picture.

An old one.

With some letters.

"I-H-H-U-E."

Looks like an old-Time photo

Of a barn being built

or something.

Yeah,

with a bunch of numbers.

Lotto numbers?

Who knows.

And an old key.

I have to be honest.

Not really

what I was hoping for.

You wanted it to be gold

or something?

Jewels would've been...

Ah!

So you're Matson, hey?

Ah, look at you.

Scrawnier than I expected.

I told him this weren't

no mission for a kid.

And I'm sure

he didn't expected ya

To have a little girl

tagging along.

Watch it, fur face.

I'm from Chicago.

- Sully...

- This ain't a joke, girly!

And you ain't cut out for this.
