Garage Sale Mystery: All That Glitters Page #6

THESE FLOORS LOOK LIKE

RECLAIMED MAPLE.

YEAH, OLD FARMHOUSE, I THINK.

PRETTY COOL, HUH?

IT'S VERY NICE.

YEAH.

ARE YOU REALLY:

GOING TO BUY IT?

I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE.

JUST TRYING TO ENVISION I DONE AND LIVABLE.

MM-HMM.

YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE PIECES AT THE STORE

THAT WOULD REALLY WORK IN HERE.

-THE CURIO CABINET?

-EXACTLY.

YEAH, ANYTHING ARTS AND CRAFTS

WOULD BE AMAZING.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

SO, WHAT ELSE YOU GOT HIDDEN AWAY?

I MEAN, YOU MUST STORE

YOUR OVERFLOW SOMEWHERE.

WE HAVE A STORAGE

AT THE BACK OF THE SHOP...

AND THEN WE RENT A SPACE

FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT WE MIGHT HAVE SOME THINGS,

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A PEEK.

NOW, LOOK AT THIS.

[GASPING]

COFFERED CEILING,

LOOKS GREAT.

BUT THIS IS MY FAVORITE.

LOOK AT THIS.

TRAVERTINE.

OOH...

[LAUGHING]

ITALIAN?

I THINK SO, YEAH.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SHOULD I DO IT?

I WAS ABLE TO RECONSTRUC SOME OF THE MISSING FILES.

THE ONE I WAS REALLY

INTERESTED IN:

WAS THE LIST OF CUSTOMERS

WHO MIGHT HAVE DEFAULTED

ON THEIR UNITS.

THERE'S QUITE A FEW HERE.

WE HAD SIX AUCTIONS

IN THREE YEARS.

38 UNITS SOLD.

HAS DETECTIVE LYNWOOD SEEN THIS?

YEAH, I ALREADY GAVE HIM A COPY.

YOU CAN KEEP THAT IF YOU WANT.

GREAT.

IF HE CAN PUT A PICTURE TO A NAME,

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE

THE MAN MARTIN WAS ARGUING WITH.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING FOR.

[SIGHS AWKWARDLY]

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE, I'M...

I'M HESITANT TO ASK,

BUT IT'S BEEN BOTHERING ME.

WHAT IS IT?

WERE YOU AND MARTIN...

GETTING A DIVORCE?

DID HE TELL YOU THAT?

HE DID.

DID YOU REALLY KNOW HIM?

ONLY FROM THE SELF-STORAGE.

I LIVED WITH THE MAN

FOR 25 YEARS,

PUT UP WITH HIS NONSENSE.

IT GOT WORSE AS HE GOT OLDER.

HE THREATENED TO DIVORCE ME

IF I EVEN ARGUED WITH HIM,

OR EXPRESSED A VIEWPOINT OF MY OWN.

OH...

I'M SORRY, I HAD NO IDEA.

BUT WE WEREN'T ABOU TO GET DIVORCED,

I WASN'T BROUGHT UP THAT WAY.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

BOTHERING YOU?

NO.

GOOD.

I CAME HERE:

BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN

THE MAN WHO KILLED MY HUSBAND.

HIS NAME MAY BE:

SOMEWHERE IN THAT FILE.

[GPS]:
YOU HAVE ARRIVED

AT YOUR DESTINATION.

ONE, TWO,

THREE, FOUR, FIVE.

[SIGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

BURIED TREASURE?

ON MY PROPERTY?

YEAH, YEAH, LOOK, IF I'M RIGHT,

"X" MARKS THE SPO AT FIVE PACES FROM THE BASE OF THAT TREE.

OH, WAIT, HAS THAT ALWAYS

BEEN THE TALLEST TREE?

WHY WOULD I TELL YOU THAT?

BECAUSE I'D SHARE THE TREASURE?

TERMS?

I'D GIVE YOU 25%.

I'D LET YOU KEEP 25%.

THAT'S... A LOT.

COUNTER?

50-50.

PARTNERS.

FAIR ENOUGH.

COOL.

HOW DEEP DO YOU WANT TO GO?

OH, UM, I'M NOT SURE.

THREE FEET.

ANY DEEPER, I'D HAVE TO

TALK TO YOUR PARENTS.

OH, HEY, CAN I BORROW A SHOVEL?

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

SO, HOW FAST DO THOSE

ELEVATORS TRAVEL?

WELL, IN THE NEW SKYSCRAPERS,

20 MILES AN HOUR.

NO WAY.

HOW DO YOU ENGINEER

SOMETHING LIKE THA TO BE SAFE?

MULTIPLE CABLES.

THEY CAN EACH HOLD

10 TIMES THEIR DESIGN LOAD.

IT'S VERY, VERY SAFE.

THAT'S AMAZING.

I'D BE WAY MORE WORRIED ABOU BEING TRAPPED INSIDE ONE.

RIGHT? I READ ABOUT A GUY

WHO GOT STUCK:

IN HIS OFFICE ELEVATOR

FOR AN ENTIRE WEEKEND.

[GASPS OF HORROR]

WHAT?

THAT IS MY NIGHTMARE.

DIDN'T ANYONE MISS HIM?

-HEY, EVERYBODY.

-HEY, LOGAN.

HEY, HONEY,

DID YOU FIND IT?

NO, NO, NOT YET.

I DIDN'T KNOW

YOUR SON WAS A COAL MINER.

[LAUGHTER]

LOGAN, THIS IS ALAN BERNARD.

-ALAN, THIS IS LOGAN.

-HEY.

WELL, TELL HIM WHY

YOU'RE DIRTY.

OH, YEAH, I'M DIGGING

FOR BURIED TREASURE.

I FOUND A MAP, AND...

ARR, MATEY!

I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT IT'S REAL.

NO, NO, NOT AT ALL,

NOT AT ALL, GO FOR IT.

-I HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING.

-DID YOU GET PERMISSION?

YEAH, YEAH,

BUT HE WON'T LET ME DIG

DEEPER THAN THREE FEE WITHOUT TALKING TO YOU.

GOOD, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT YOU

GETTING IN OVER YOUR HEAD.

[LAUGHTER]

OOH...

'CAUSE I'M IN THE HOLE, THAT'S-THAT'S...

I GET IT.

I'M STARVING, BY THE WAY.

NO, NO, IN THE GARAGE,

DROP THE DIRTY CLOTHES,

THERE'S A CLEAN CHANGE

IN THE DRYER.

WASH YOUR HANDS, YOUR FACE,

AND THEN YOU CAN EAT.

OKAY, OKAY.

THANK YOU.

[GRIMACING] UGH.

[CHUCKLES]

IS HE REALLY DIGGING FOR TREASURE?

YES.

MUST BE IN THE GENES.

WE GO TO GARAGE SALES

LOOKING FOR BURIED TREASURE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND WHAT TREASURES

HAVE YOU FOUND?

OH.

THE FEDERAL TABLE.

THAT'S RIGHT,

WE RECENTLY BOUGH AN ABANDONED STORAGE UNIT,

HAD A SMALL TABLE WORTH $3,000.

[GASPS OF WONDER]

WOW, THAT IS TREASURE.

YES, AND IT WAS BURIED WAY IN THE BACK.

HEY, ALAN,

ISN'T THAT KIND OF LIKE

WHAT YOU DO:

WHEN YOU'RE FOR OLD HOUSES

AND TRYING TO FIX THEM UP?

UH... WELL,

WHEN I LOOK AT FOR A HOUSE,

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE

ANYTHING BURIED.

BURIED MEANS PROBLEMS.

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?

CHICAGO.

STILL A BIG WHITE SOX FAN.

OH, MAN, BOO.

AWKWARD.

OH, COME ON, NOW.

WELL, TO BURIED TREASURE.

TO YOUR NEW HOUSE.

TO GOOD HEALTH.

AH, PURA VIDA.

PURA...?

"PURA VIDA,"

DOES THAT MEAN "PURE LIFE?"

UH, CLOSE.

UM... "GOOD LIFE".

OH, WELL, THEN, "GOOD LIFE".

GOOD LIFE.

[CLINKING GLASSES,

MURMURING IN AGREEMENT]

I'LL DRINK TO THAT,

ALL RIGHT.

[LAUGHING AND CHATTING]

GOOD MORNING.

HI, HONEY.

SWEETIE, ARE YOU ON-SITE TODAY

OR IN THE OFFICE?

OFFICE.

WE'RE HAVING A PROBLEM

WITH THE SUPPLIER,

SO PHONE CONFERENCES.

HOME FOR DINNER?

LATE.

I'M GOING TREASURE HUNTING

AFTER WORK.

UGH, PLEASE CHANGE

IN THE GARAGE.

OH, I DON'T PLAN ON DIGGING.

I'LL BE SUPERVISING.

SERIOUSLY, HOW DEEP CAN HE

GO?

I THINK BLISTERS ON HANDS,

SUN ON HEAD:

WILL DETERMINE:

DEPTH OF EXCAVATION.

SO, MAYBE FOUR FEET?

HE COULD DO FIVE

IF THE DIRT IS SOFT.

WELL, HOW ABOU YOU TREASURE HUNTERS

BRING SOME PIZZA HOME

FOR DINNER?

YOU SURE YOU DON' WANT TO HELP US DIG?

HMM, BLISTERS ON HANDS

AND SUN ON HEAD?

I DON'T DIG IT.

REALLY?

[GIGGLES]

REALLY.

LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU MORE.

[KNOCK ON WINDOW]

OH!

OH, I'M SORRY.

SORRY.

[SIGHING]

OH, I'M IN TROUBLE.

OH, COME ON...

WHAT DOES THAT SAY?

OH, COME ON, DON'T GO SO FAST.

347...

1J2.

GOT IT.

LOUISE.

OH, WOW.

HOW SURE ARE YOU

THAT IT WAS HIM?

100%.

AND IT WAS:

LOUISE FOLEY'S GARAGE?

YES, AND I'M ASSUMING HE HAD

HIS OWN GARAGE-DOOR OPENER.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S THE PLATE?

347 1J2.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE

WHAT WE CAN FIND.

[BEEPS]

IS THAT HIM?

YES.

THAT'S THE GUY

I SAW ARGUING WITH MARTIN.

KARL CONROY.

OUTSTANDING WARRANTS,

FAILURE TO APPEAR, PETTY THEFT,

SIMPLE ASSAULT.

I MEAN, THIS IS NO CHOIR BOY,

BUT HE'S NOT A MURDERER, EITHER.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW

WHETHER TO BE:

COMPLETELY UPSET WITH YOU

FOR PUTTING YOURSELF IN HARM'S WAY,

OR HAPPY THAT YOU MAY HAVE

FOUND A BREAK IN THE CASE.

LET'S GO WITH HAPPY.

JASON WILL COVER THE OTHER.

YOU HAVE CERTAIN TALENTS

THAT MAYBE I WISH YOU DIDN'T.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

KARL CONROY.

AND FRANK REALLY THINKS

HE MIGHT BE INVOLVED?

HE'S QUESTIONING HIM.

LOUISE LIED TO ME.

MARTIN DID, TOO,

FOR THAT MATTER.

THAT ARGUMEN WASN'T WITH A CUSTOMER

WHO WAS ANGRY ABOU LOSING HIS STORAGE UNIT.

NO, IT WAS WITH THE MAN

WHO WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR

WITH HIS WIFE.

IT'S THE PERFECT MOTIVE.
