Get a Clue Page #3

Anything could've happened.

He could've been taken hostage.

Okay, Nancy Drew, I think you

been sleuthing around a little too long.

I'm gonna get to the bottom of this,

and it's gonna front-page news.

You don't know the first thing

about Walker.

I'm the only one who knows him,

much less cares about him.

You know, you're right.

As much as it pains me

to say this, Jack,

I think we should team up

and investigate this together.

- What's the point of that?

- Two heads are better than one.

If you help me, I know we can

crack this case wide open.

Are you serious?

If you care about Walker,

you have a funny way of showing it.

Are you just gonna

sit back and do nothing?

Oh, man. How can someone so

selfish make me feel so guilty?

It's a gift.

Okay, but you gotta promise

not to tell anyone, right?

Relax. Who am I gonna tell?

- Oh, I knew it.

- Knew what?

- That you liked him.

- Come on. This is strictly business.

I told Jack I'd call tomorrow

with the time we'd meet.

You've got his number?

Mm-hmm. Cute.

So, Jen, what do

you know about Jack?

Not much. I'm not

interested, but you should be.

- What?

- Get a clue. He likes you.

That's why he treats you like

a reject from the outlet mall.

- Thanks.

- Oh, come on, I think he's kinda cute.

He's tall, mysterious. Just your type.

That's not possible, Jen.

I don't have a type.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, honey. How was school?

Okay.

So, have you heard

any news about Mr. Walker?

They won't tell us

anything at school.

I did hear they sent

more divers to investigate

the area where

they retrieved his car,

but I don't think they're gonna

find much. There's a strong current.

If you were covering this story,

where would you start?

Well, a good reporter always starts

by looking into the subject's

background for information.

What kind?

Anything out of the ordinary,

'cause sometimes when

you compile a lot of facts,

- it leads to answers.

- That sounds like detective work.

Good reporters are like detectives.

But they can't rely on police alone.

They've gotta do

their own investigation.

- Yeah. That really makes sense.

- Hmm. No, wait a minute.

I can see your wheels turning.

Mr. Walker's disappearance

is not a human interest piece.

It's a serious case.

Which means I don't

want you to get involved.

Come on, Dad. I was just curious.

Don't worry. Hakuna Matata.

- Who goes there?

- Who do you think?

Be nice or get lost.

May I please come in?

What do you want?

Oh, nothing, really.

I just thought with Mom gone,

I'd check on you, see how you're

doing. You know, because I care.

- What do you think, I'm an idiot?

- Well, actually...

I like what you've

done with the place.

But what's all this junk for?

It's not junk. It's important stuff.

This is important?

It's a stealth listening device.

It means secret.

Listen through here.

Put it on your ear.

- Hey!

- Ow!

Pretty cool, huh? And this is my

favorite. A wrist walkie-talkie.

You've gotta have it for hands-free

agent-to-agent communication.

Where do you get all

this stuff from, anyway?

- The corner spy shop.

- Never heard of it.

It's right across the street

from where Ma takes Pilates.

This stuff is amazing.

- Hey!

- Look, silly.

Hey, that's cool.

How'd you figure that out?

My dorky sister has

something like it at home.

Can I help you guys?

Uh, yes. We're lookin'

for some spy equipment.

You've come to the right place.

Let me show you something.

Rear-view glasses. Cool.

What's up with this?

Well, I was in the neighborhood,

and I just thought I'd stop by.

- What's he doing here?

- Who?

Oh, him?

Yeah, that would be

the "he" I'm referring to.

There's actually

a really good reason why...

Hear me out, Lexy. Look,

it's only a matter of time

before Dan Rather and

Diane Sawyer show up to cover

Mr. Walker's disappearance, but...

I'm gonna have the exclusive story.

You're gonna have the story?

It's my story.

Hey, what's goin' on?

What are they doin' here?

Yeah, what are

you guys doing here?

In about two seconds,

you both are gonna worship me.

Are you ready? Gabe lives across

the street from Miss Dawson.

And your point is?

Well, if we watch her for a few days

and nothing suspicious takes place,

maybe we can clear her name.

Or prove she had something to do

with Walker's disappearance.

Exactly.

Cool camera.

Make yourselves at home, guys.

I'll get the menu book,

and we can order some lunch.

Wow.

So this is how the other half lives.

Okay, so, um,

what's next, Lex?

Okay, our mission is to identify

any suspicious activity

or clues that might tell us

what happened to Walker.

All right.

Even though we have this equipment,

nothing can substitute

for eyes, ears and intuition.

That's right. I think

we should divide and conquer.

Good idea. I propose that Jennifer and I

go to Walker's house to search for clues

while you two go to Gabe's and

keep watch over Dawson's place.

- Did you get Walker's address?

- Yeah, it's in Carroll Gardens.

That's in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn? I am not

schlepping out to Brooklyn.

Jennifer, a good spy does not

question her assignment.

So what?

I'm not a good spy. I'll live.

I guess I'm going with you.

Oh, I was afraid of that.

- What are you doing?

- What does it look like I'm doing?

Calling a car.

You crazy? The big game's tonight.

Traffic's gonna be bumper-to-bumper.

Showing up in a

big hunkin' Richmobile,

we'll stick out

like two sore thumbs.

I say the subway's the only way to go.

Darn! You made me

dial the wrong number.

Right. I made you

dial the wrong number.

You've never been on

the subway, have you?

Please! Of course I have.

I take it all the time.

Uh-huh. So let's go.

Lexy!

Jen, come on up.

Okay, this is so not a photo op.

Okay, come on. Let's go.

Hold on, I'm just making

some technical adjustments.

All right.

Okay.

Wow, this is some library.

Huh? Oh, yeah, it's my,

uh, lifetime collection.

"Gabe's Birth"?

You mean, you even

have that on tape?

Oh, yeah. My dad just

got me started really young,

- and I've been recording things since.

- Impressive.

Okay.

Everything's about set up.

- And... action.

- Oh, this is so exciting.

Maybe she's not home.

Yeah, yeah, you...

You just have to sit

and wait and... yeah.

Yes, I made it.

I can't wait to tell Jennifer.

Wow.

How interesting.

What a riot. I mean, who knew?

Okay. It's this way.

Uh, actually, it's this way.

Pardon me, but do you see

this paper in my hands?

It's called a map,

and according to it,

- Mr. Walker's house is that way.

- Right.

Well, you know, first of all...

Here you go. And second

of all, it's that way.

I've been there before.

Look! She's home.

I love this exercise tape!

Are you crazy?

She might be a murderer.

I feel like a store mannequin.

You mean like a dummy on display.

Uh, excuse us, sir.

Hey, didn't that man's coat

look like the one

that Mr. Walker used to wear?

I don't know. I didn't notice.
