The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #4

Now, you take your little friend

from Chicago here

And head back to town

Before you get hurt!

And if people

come looking for you,

Tell 'em what they want to know.

Maybe you'll survive.

Survive?

Uh,

let's back the truck up here.

I don't know what

your granddaddy was thinking,

Trusting this to a boy.

Now,

the two of you get out of here.

Get.

Now!

Don't you ever come back, ever!

You hear me?

Now, Jeremiah,

this ain't gonna agree with you.

Hmm?

Why you do this all the time,

huh?

You know I'm gonna be up

all night with you

Giving you that pink stuff,

And you know

how we both hate that.

Yeah.

Don't you growl at me.

And why you drinking water

out of a flower vase?

I mean, ain't you never heard

of "etiquit"? Huh?

Wh...

Boys, please.

I think it's time we had

a discussion with an old friend.

Ivan Stumpwater

followed the boy to the beach.

I think it's more

than coincidence.

Do you have any idea

what the symbols mean?

Nope.

But I think I know

who can help us.

We need to check

the fishery reports.

Mr. Stumpwater?

Hello?

Um, okay.

Weird.

Mr. Stumpwater?

Gross.

Ah.

Shell's good for ginger's cold.

I meant the stuff in the pan.

I found the map...

In the rock.

Uh, Petoskey stone.

One of a kind.

Told you

it was a Petoskey stone.

Well, it led us

to another clue.

And a guy

who hasn't showered in a while.

Ooh, Buckshot Plindenberg.

He's still around, huh?

Yeah.

We were wondering if he's,

You know...

All there.

Ah, never has been.

I knew it.

But if he put

the fear of god in you,

It's for good reason.

Coffee?

I'm not allowed

to drink coffee.

Me either.

Make mine a double.

Well...

Did he, um...

Tell you

about the symbols?

That is terrible.

Is that even coffee?

Sully.

No, he didn't say anything

about the symbols.

- Hmm.

- Do you know what they are?

What exactly do you know

about your granddaddy?

I know

that he was in the coast guard,

And when he retired,

He moved home

and bought the museum.

There are tales

of an ancient process.

Some call it science.

Some call it magic.

It's called alchemy.

Alchemy.

I've heard of it.

I think.

What is it?

It was developed

by ancient mystics

As a way of turning any object

into silver.

Those symbols you've been

following from your granddaddy,

They're part

of the alchemy process.

You know eating that

Is why you smell the way you do,

right?

Mmm.

Mm-Hmm.

Yeah.

So what'd you find out

in coffer woods?

This key

And an old picture

Of what looks like

a barn being built

With some letters on it.

There's a bunch of numbers

on the back too.

Yeah.

Ah.

Oh, yeah.

He had buckets of faith in you.

Mr. Stumpwater, please.
