Kid West Page #3

---

He was a great man.

He did a lot for his

community in the mid 1800s

including his Ojibwe neighbors,

which wasn't a very

popular stance back then.

But he did a lot of trading with them.

Valuable sort of stuff.

And all the valuables he traded

were lost in the fire, correct?

That's right.

Unless.

Unless he had a separate place

where he kept his collectibles.

I see you've done your homework.

And if there were such a place,

those collectibles would

be worth quite a bit.

Any suspects?

As much as I appreciate your enthusiasm,

I can't talk about an

ongoing investigation.

Sure you can.

From one officer of the law to another.

Excuse me?

My daddy made me an honorary deputy.

Off the record then, I'm not the press.

Well, the short answer is, no.

But I have a theory.

My guess is that anyone going

after those collectibles

thinks they have some

sort of claim on 'em.

Like a descendant or something?

That's a good thought.

But no one knows what happened

to old Walter's offspring.

Then who else would think

they have some sort of claim?

The culture that traded with him?

You think whoever

stole the key was Ojibwe?

That wouldn't be very popular

with the Ojibwe community

in town, but that's my theory.

Seems like the only working one we have.

You seem pretty anxious about something.

Thanks for the help, Sheriff, gotta run.

What are you doing?

Kid West on official

duty, you're in big trouble.

I think you're the one

going to be in big trouble.

Oh yeah?

When my uncle sees you

messing with his plants.

You match the description of the thief.

This would go a lot easier for you

if you confessed right now.

Oh really?

Yeah.

You want me to make a confession?

That's right.

Okay.

I confess that you're a terrible detective

and your bike sucks.

The guilty always try

to change the subject.

Are we done?

For now.

What's wrong?

[FAYE] I'm late for work.

You've been late before,

I've never seen you

this upset about it.

Is that so?

Did you take your father's

wedding ring out of my dresser?

No, why?

I can't find it.

I have a long shift today,

so I won't be home for dinner.

There's leftover lamb chops in the fridge.

Just do me a favor.

Just stay around the house today, okay?

(RHYTHMIC MUSIC)

I like your subtle approach.

Sometimes it's not about

force, boys, it's about fear.

We gave him a good

scare though, didn't we?

Just wait till school starts.

Then we'll really give it to 'em.

How much do you think

we'll get for that?

I don't know, not much.

Piece of junk.

Easy there, Mucus.

What do we do next?

Wait for further instruction.

Is it true what the old man said

that the treasure or whatever it is,
