The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #5

We're just asking you

for a little help.

What is all this about?

What I do know is that

there are three powerful objects

That are used

in the alchemy process.

Your granddaddy's

been protecting these items

For many years,

But now they're in danger

of falling into the wrong hands.

What wrong hands?

Ooh,

some of the nastiest people

You will ever meet in your life.

So...

We're supposed to find

these objects to protect them?

Now, I'm sorry

this has to fall on you, boy.

But at all cost,

You must find these elements

before they do.

Your granddaddy,

He saw a nobility

in your heart.

He chose you.

But this sounds like something

that he should've left

For my mom and dad.

Ah.

You could tell my parents.

Ah, who'd believe the rants

Of a crazy,

old bait shop owner?

No.

Who, indeed.

Ivan, what are on earth are you

filling these children's heads

With all these fairy tales for?

You and your boys,

get out of here.

We're closed.

Oh, we will,

once we get what we came for.

Mr. Matson,

we'd like to alleviate you

Of the burden

of finding all those pesky items

Mr. Stumpwater told you about.

Now, I'll be glad to pay you.

Why don't you just turn over

everything you've found

Up to this point?

Why, name your price, boy.

Why, I know your family

can use the money.

Now, what are they,

Nearly three months behind

on their mortgage?

Mm-Mm.

I don't think any of this

is for sale, Mr. Priggish.

Everything has a price.

Now, think about this:

You could save

your family's home.

You could be a hero.

I don't think you appreciate

The gravity of your situation,

Mr. Matson.

This is your final chance.

We'll make it easy.

My grandpa taught me

that doing the right thing

Usually isn't easy.

I hope your grandpa

was right about you, boy.

Ah!

I'm from Chicago.

I like a little spice

with my eggs.

Ah!

How about a little cleanup,

huh?

Copperhead.

Ha-Ha!

Peekaboo.

Ah!

Ah!

- Go, go, go, go!

- Mickey.

Grams!

Now, run, boy!

I said, run, boy!

Stop him, Billy!

Stop him!

Get in!

We got to burn rubber!

Tie up Mr. Stumpwater.

The bait shop owner

May have just become

bait himself.

Who were those guys?

Did you see those tattoos?

No. What tattoos?

Yeah, skull and bones.

UhHuh. And a bowie knife

with a six-Shooter.

And a snake.

Copperheads.

What?

Copperheads? Shouldn't we call

the police or something?

They have stumpwater!

Do you think stalwert is gonna

let those police arrest him?

Honey, he's bought and paid for

those townie police potlickers

Three times over.

What's a copperhead?

Let's get inside.

Now, this might be a little bit

much for you kids,

So try to keep up.

You keep something hidden
