Mystery Team Page #2

was very amused by you

and the Mystery Kids.

Mystery Team, okay?

Mystery Team.

People

used to call us heroes.

And it really

razzes my berries

when people don't

take us seriously.

I mean, look how big

my magnifying glass is.

Your head's big.

Put that down.

That's enough.

You're an adult.

Act like one.

You're excused.

I cannot wait

to graduate in a month.

I'm so tired of school.

Yeah, I wish

they'd all disappear

like the Lost Colony

of Roanoke.

They'd probably go

"What's Roanoke?"

and I'd go

"Shut up, Caleb."

All we need is one big case

before people start

respecting us again,

like people did

when we were 7.

People respect us.

Charlie,

where's your book bag?

Uh, some kids took it

and filled it with dirt.

Oh, hi, Mom.

Hi.

Hi, Mrs. Rogers.

You look nice.

Thank you, Charlie.

Yeah,

when I look at you,

it feels like my body's

smiling, you know?

Yeah.

So got any plans

tonight, honey?

Going out? Maybe a party

with girls there?

Oh, yuck, Mom.

Oh, hey, Dad.

Where are you going

all dressed up like that?

Union meeting

about a strike.

I can't believe

they sold the lumber yard

to this Holden & Charles,

knowing full well

that's the only thing

keeping this town alive.

I'm going to get put

out of work by these a**holes.

[Mom]

Darryl.

Hey, Dad,

Mom wants me

to go to a party

with girls there.

Can you say gross?

I can say disappointed.

Gross.

Oh, that little girl's back.

[Jason]

What?

She's been coming by

all afternoon.

Something

about a mystery.

A client.

I wish we had a girl.

Hi. Are you the Mystery Team?

The original and best.

I'm Brianna. I have a mystery

for you to solve.

Here's a dime.

What can we do for you, ma'am?

Just fill out this form

real quick.

Mark the box by

the appropriate mystery.

There's lost kitten,

hopscotch dispute,

sack lunch fraud.

Kids your age

are our best customers

and also guilty

of nearly 100%

of the cases we solve.

Whatever it is,

we can handle it.

Can you find out

who killed my parents?

They got killed last night.

They took Mommy's ring.

It was really old and special

because it was Grandma's.

I'm going to go

have a word

with my two partners.

Is that okay?

[laughing]

Okay.

Oh, my geez.

I know.

Who's going to tell her

we can't help her?

What? What are you

talking about?

This is exactly what we

wanted-- a real case.

This isn't a real case,

okay?

This is just

some sad little kid.

And besides, the Mystery doesn't solve murders.

Are you kidding?

What does it say

on our sign?

We'll also work

for fruit roll-ups.

The other sign.

No case too hard,

no case too tough.

But that's not--

What's harder and tougher
