finally there was a giant waterfall right behind the Triple Crest Hotel I mean that if you took a step out the back door well you’d better bring a life jacket MacGuffin was stretching after sitting for so long He had been stuck with Frankie Flats on the bus Hey Mac good trip I asked About as good as any trip can go crammed into a seat with Frankie Flats That kid does not stop talking about you I opened my backpack and pulled out two walkie-talkies I brought along our walkie-talkies just in case we need them during this trip I told Mac I just put fresh batteries in so we should be good if we get separated Thanks MacGuffin said grabbing a walkie talkie Hey by the way what happened with your dog Little Ricky He was locked up or something 10
I let out a disappointed sigh Yeah some joker by the name of Animal Control Officer Tommy Donkers nabbed him He gave Little Ricky the pinch for digging up the flowers in front of City Hall I said I wish I could prove he didn’t do the crime Little Ricky isn’t into public destruction It just isn’t his style But when I go out looking for clues I usually let him off his leash so he can do his own thing So he got picked up for not having a license too I blew out some more air And boy it’s going to cost me a pretty penny to get him out Principal Ant walked up to the rowdy crowd of kids All right students let’s all face here he said with his hand raised Now we are just on the peak of Triple Crest The great Battle of Triple Crest and many other historical wonders have occurred right where we are standing He looked around to see that he’d lost our attention But I will leave it to the tour guide to tell us more exciting tales 11
Thank you Marcus Principal Links said to Principal Ant Now everyone grab a battle buddy and follow us We all followed the principals onto the battlefield Teddy Plugg said this place is haunted something fierce Frankie Flats said pushing between me and MacGuffin Ya know haunted from the battles and such So what do you think Gummyshoes Can you solve that case I stopped and looked at Frankie Oh Frankie we don’t waste our time and talents on cases involving spooks and ghouls We are dedicated to the here and now We like cases that are grounded in reality I threw my hands up and laughed I don’t know Jon MacGuffin said stepping forward I wouldn’t rule anything out quite yet I mean who knows what we’ll find on this trip Maybe we’ll encounter some real-life ghosts I shifted my attention from Frankie to MacGuffin If they are real life then how are 13
