Garage Sale Mystery: All That Glitters Page #3

VISIBLY UPSET?

HE WAS HEATED, BUT THAT PASSED.

WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE

THIS GUY AGAIN?

OH, YES.

THAT'S WHA I LIKE TO HEAR.

THAT'S NO WHAT I SAID.

WELL, THAT'S WHA IT SOUNDED LIKE.

HONEY, I JUS WANT YOU TO BE SAFE.

THAT MEANS TELLING THE

POLICE WHAT YOU SAW,

THEN STAYING OUT OF IT.

I'M NOT IN IT.

YET YOU HELPED THE POLICE

FIND THE BODY.

ONLY BECAUSE:

I WAS THE ONE IN THE OFFICE

WHEN THE GUY CAME IN

AND THEY HAD THE ARGUMENT.

EXACTLY,

SO IF THAT MAN WERE THE KILLER,

THEN WHO CAN IDENTIFY HIM?

YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.

NOW LET THE POLICE

DO THEIR JOBS.

[SIGHS]

I WILL,

BUT I CAN'T PROMISE YOU

I'LL STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.

[GRUMBLES]

THINKING'S FINE.

IT WASN'T PRE-MEDITATED.

HERE WE GO.

THIS IS FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

IT'S BAKELITE,

FROM THE 1950s.

I WANT TO MAKE A DISPLAY

FOR ALL MY BUTTONS.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

LET ME PAY YOU FOR THAT.

DON'T DENY ME THE PLEASURE

OF SPOILING MY GODCHILD.

[SIGHS]

YEAH...

OKAY, YOU GUYS.

OKAY, HAVE FUN WORKING.

THE DATE RIGHT THERE.

SHE'D SEW QUILTS

IN PREPARATION:

FOR HER EVENTUAL WEDDING.

HMM.

WELL, I HOPE IT WORKED OUT.

LOOK, I HOPE YOU DON' MIND MY ASKING,

BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS,

WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO?

JUST WALK AROUND AND KNOCK

ON FARMHOUSE DOORS?

HOW DO YOU FIND:

ALL THIS GREAT STUFF?

WE'VE KNOCKED ON A FEW DOORS.

UH, WE GO TO ESTATE SALES,

GARAGE SALES.

PEOPLE BRING THINGS IN.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR

ANYTHING SPECIFIC?

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

UH, NO, NOT RIGHT NOW.

IF I CLOSE ON THE HOUSE,

THEN I'LL GE A BIT MORE SERIOUS.

HELLO?

OH, HEY, LOUISE.

MY PERSONAL WEAKNESS

HAS ALWAYS BEEN:

VINTAGE BASEBALL STUFF.

REALLY?

HEY, JENN,

DO YOU HAVE:

THAT OLD BASEBALL BAT?

IT'S STILL IN MY CAR,

YOU WANT ME TO GO GET IT?

UH, NO, NO, NO, THAT'S OKAY.

I'M ACTUALLY A BIT MORE

INTO BASEBALL CARDS,

AUTOGRAPHED BALLS,

THAT KIND OF THING.

-BIG CUBS FAN.

-OH.

CUBS.

YEAH.

ALL WE'VE GO IS A BABY BEAR.

OH.

IT'S A VINTAGE TEDDY FROM 1920.

I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT.

COME ON.

WE GOT IT IN:

AN ESTATE SALE LAST YEAR.

IT'S VERY NICE.

SO, UM, DANI,

IS THAT IS SHORT FOR ANYTHING?

DANIELLE.

DANIELLE.

THAT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL NAME.

UM, I'LL COME BACK

WHEN I HAVE:

A BIT MORE TIME, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT.

[SIGHS]

DID YOU SEE THAT?

OH, I SAW THAT.

MARRIED?

NO RING.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I KNOW IT'S NOT A GUARANTEE.

LISTEN, I HAVE TO RUN,

MARTIN'S WIFE, LOUISE,

JUST CALLED ME.

SHE WANTS ME TO COME OVER.

OH? WHY?

YEAH, I'M NOT SURE.

MAYBE SHE WANTS:

SOMEONE TO TALK TO.

YEAH.

YEAH, WELL,

YOU'RE GOOD FOR THAT.

IT STILL SEEMS:

SO UNREAL.

I LOOK AT THE DOOR,

EXPECT HIM TO COME HOME.

IT'S HORRIBLE.

THE DETECTIVE SAID THA YOU'D BEEN VERY HELPFUL,

THAT ONE OF THEIR LEADS

IS SOMEONE:

WHO HAD BEEN ANGRY WITH MARTIN?

THAT...

YOU SAW THEM FIGHT?

YES, I WAS THERE WHEN A MAN

CAME INTO HIS OFFICE.

HE WAS VERY UPSET.

THEY ARGUED OUTSIDE.

I COULDN'T HEAR

WHAT THEY WERE SAYING.

MARTIN TOLD ME:

THAT HE WAS ANGRY

BECAUSE HIS STORAGE UNI HAD BEEN AUCTIONED OFF.

BUT YOU SAW HIM?

YES.

GOOD.

GOOD.

I HOPE THEY LOCATE HIM SOON.

WELL, THE POLICE SAID

HE MIGHT NOT HAVE

ANY CONNECTED TO THE CASE.

YOU NEVER THINK SOMETHING

LIKE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

I'M SORRY, LOUISE.

I LOVED HIM VERY MUCH.

HE WASN'T PERFECT, BUT...

WE FOUND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK.

[GROANING]

I REALLY:

DON'T FEEL LIKE UNPACKING

THESE BOXES FROM THE AUCTION

UNTIL WE CLEAR SOME MORE SPACE.

WELL, JASON

IS NOT GONNA BE HAPPY

ABOUT YOU LOADING UP

THE GARAGE.

JUST THE OVERFLOW.

BESIDES, I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK

TO THE STORAGE UNIT RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.

NOW, THIS IS COOL.

STAY OR GO?

UH, GARAGE.

SO, THAT'S WEIRD ABOUT LOUISE.

I KNOW.

I WAS NOT ABOUT TO SAY,

"IF YOU WERE SO IN LOVE,

WHY WERE YOU DIVORCING HIM?"

BUT IF THEY WERE

HAVING PROBLEMS,

WOULD SHE REALLY BE

TALKING ABOUT THEM NOW?

MAYBE NOT.

HEY, MOM.

HEY, LOGAN,

WILL YOU DO ME A FAVOR,

AND TAKE THE BOXES

OUT OF THE BACK OF MY CAR,

AND STACK THEM:

NEAR THE WORKBENCH?

WHAT ABOUT DAD'S RULE,

NO JUNK IN HIS GARAGE?

HEY, HEY, HEY,

IT'S NOT JUNK.

MAYBE HE WON'T NOTICE.

HE NOTICES:

IF I PUT A SCREWDRIVER

IN THE WRONG PLACE.

THANK YOU.

[CLEARS THROAT]

WELL, HELLO, HANDSOME.

NICE TRY.

I SAW THE BOXES.

THAT DIDN' TAKE LONG.

AND?

OH, JUST A FEW DAYS,

I PROMISE.

DEFINE "A FEW".

FIVE.

I'LL GIVE YOU A WEEK.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

OH, YOU HAVE

THAT INSURANCE PAPERWORK

YOU WANTED ME TO SIGN?

OH, SHOOT,

I LEFT IT AT THE STORE.

I'LL GO GET IT AFTER DINNER.

WELL, I'D SAY

IT COULD WAIT, BUT...

BUT IT CAN'T.

MM-MM.

YOU WANT SOME HELP?

THAT WOULD BE GREAT,

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

[CHUCKLES IN WONDER]

MOM!

IN HERE!

[PANTING]

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!

-WHOA--

-WHOA--

LOOK.

HIDDEN IN THE SEAT-STEM.

THIS IS A REAL TREASURE MAP!

OH, I LOVE

A GOOD TREASURE HUNT.

HOLD IT,

JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS OLD,

DOESN'T MEAN IT IS.

WELL, I KNOW,

THE BIKE IS FROM 1934.

I LOOKED UP:

A PICTURE OF ONE ONLINE.

WELL, THAT MAKES IT ABOU 80 YEARS OLD, NOT PIRATE ERA.

THE BIKE MAYBE,

BUT THE MAP ISN'T ON PAPER,

IT'S THICKER, LIKE OLD...

PARCHMENT.

RIGHT, YEAH!

HE'S RIGHT, PIRATES USED

PARCHMENT PAPER.

OKAY, WELL, WHERE

DID THE PIRATE:

GET A BIKE?

YOU GUYS, I'M GOING TO

RUN TO THE STORE QUICKLY

AND GRAB THA INSURANCE PAPER.

YOU WANT ME TO COME?

NO, NO, NO,

YOU GUYS STAY.

THIS IS VERY EXCITING.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

HON, I REALLY

DON'T MIND.

SO, DAD,

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

CHECK IT OUT.

SEE THAT?

"X" MARKS THE SPOT, RIGHT?

IT'S GOT TO BE LEGIT.

[GLASS CUTTER SCRATCHING]

[TAPPING]

HI.

WHAT'D THEY GET?

JUST THIS STUFF.

THAT'S COSTUME JEWELRY,

THAT'S HARDLY WORTH STEALING.

YOU KNOW,

I WAS HERE LAST NIGHT,

I CAME BACK AROUND 10:00

TO GET SOME MAIL.

COULD HAVE BEEN:

ANY TIME AFTER THAT.

SO THE BACK:

IS PRETTY TRASHED.

OH, NO.

WHAT A MESS.

THIS WAS A THIEF

WHO KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

SEE HOW HE CAREFULLY

CUT THE WINDOW,

USUALLY THEY JUS SMASH IT.

CAME AND LEF THROUGH THE BACK DOOR.

WELL, OTHER THAN

THE COSTUME JEWELRY,

WAS ANYTHING ELSE TAKEN?

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT.

I MUST SAY, LADIES,

YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

IS REALLY OUTDATED.

WE, UM...

WE HAVE A LIS OF THINGS TO DO, BUT...

YEAH. SOMETHING...

WELL, WE HAD TO

FIX THE ROOF--

--THE ROOF FIRST.

IT WAS... YEAH.

WE'LL PAY YOU BACK

EVERY PENNY,

EVEN IF I HAVE TO COME TO

YOUR HOUSE AND PULL WEEDS.

I'LL HOLD YOU TO IT.

YOU, TOO.

THANK YOU.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S

A CONNECTION, DO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I DON'T LIKE THINKING

YOU MIGHT HAVE WALKED

INTO A BURGLARY LAST NIGHT,

AND THEN, LAST WEEK,
