The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #4

The leader

that didn't survive.

What's this string?

Duck!

Holy shish kebabers!

Was your grandpa

trying to kill us?

Oak grove cemetery.

Perfect.

A creepy graveyard.

Just what I was hoping for.

We better grab some gear.

Of course.

The gate is closed.

Must be after 5:
00.

Yep.

Are we looking for

the last symbol from the museum?

Could be.

Maybe on a headstone?

Oh, my gosh.

I'm seriously

so out of my comfort zone.

I mean, I don't even think

we have cemeteries in the city.

Sully, look.

Fowler.

The secret order

of the patriot leader.

Are we really going to break

into a dead guy's house thing?

I guess we're gonna have to.

I'm not ready

to see dead people.

It's the live ones

you have to worry about.

You grave robbers

always scream,

And it just...

It scares me every time.

And you could've done a better

job of hiding your motorbike.

Maybe not parked it

in front of the gate.

Or waited till dark.

I'm guessing it's

your first time robbing graves.

We aren't grave robbers.

No?

Just here visiting

departed family members?

With a shovel sticking

out of your pack after hours?

He... He's got us there.

But, no... No...

I don't want to hear it.

Get out of here.

About-Face and march,

Before I call the police

and have you arrested!

Now move it!

And don't let me catch you

in here again, you hear me?

Or I'll have you thrown in jail.

Well,

that didn't go as planned.

I want you

to take the motorbike

And drive it around the block.

What?

Look,

we need to find those elements.

I'm allergic to jail.

That's why I want you

to wait with the bike.

I get caught,

You can go meet up with grams

and try and save Ivan.

Are you sure, Mickey?

This is getting serious.

I have to do this.

Don't break a leg.

Hope you got my back,

gramps.

Whoa.

Numbers.

- Hey.

- Whoa!

You were supposed to wait

by the bike.

II know.

I... It's really creepy

in the woods alone.

I thought

you might need a hand.

Here,

read these numbers for me.

Three.

Seven.

Two.

One.

Zero.

Nine.

Three.

We need some leverage.

I warned you

not to come back here.

Now you got troubles.

Stop!

We're trying

to save our friend.

Well, if he's in there,

You're too late.

No, not... Look,

when my grandpa died,

He left us some clues,

And they've lead us here.

And we need to find out

what's inside of there

To save our friend.

And what is this clue

he left ya?

It's pretty complicated.

Try me.

This picture, it has a series

of numbers on the back,

Same as the number of keyholes

on that lock.

And who was your grandpa?

Jack.

Jack Bettys.

You're telling stories, lad?

No, he isn't.

He died just a few days ago.

Jack was a good man.

Prepared the grounds for him

yesterday.

Sometimes these durn locks

Just need

a little encouragement.

Ooh, Martha!

Whoo.

Well,

I think my work is done here.

Lock 'er up when you're done.

Uh, and I was never here.

Looks like a civil war chest

to me.

Or a little coffin.

It might be our next symbol.

Whoa.

So you look through it,

Like a microscope?

My... My grandpa

had one of these at the museum.

Whoa,

it looks like the same photo.

Yeah,

but with different letters.

"L-G-T-O-S."

Mean anything to you?

No.

There's a note on the back.

"It has illuminated

the path home

"For many a lost soul.

"When you attain this,

"You will have

all of the elements.

"I believe in you.

Grandpa jack."

But we haven't found

any of the elements yet.

Wait,

can I see that other photo?

Perfect fit.

II think I remember

what this is.

Can I borrow your hair clip?

It's an old 3-D picture thing.

Awesome.

Check it out.

It's not a barn being built.

Nope.

It's the lighthouse.

Ivan!

Ivan!

Ivan!

"Bring us the elements,

Or stumpwater

swims with the fishes"?

Ivan!

Ginger!

What'd they do to the babe?

Come on, honey.

Let's go teach

those potlickers

Just how they should treat

a lady.

Where in tarnation

have you two been?

What happened at the museum?

We found the next clue.

It lead us to James fowler's

tomb at the cemetery.

I'm sorry to tell you this,

kids,

But we are running out of time.

I just got a note that if

we don't turn the elements over,

Ivan's gonna be singing in

heaven with your grandpa jack.

Come on.

Let's go in.

I'm sure he's fine.

He's never

been this late before.

Well, he's never

been to coffer woods before.

What? Where?

Coffer woods.

For a bike ride.

There are miles of trails

out there.

We should've talked about this.

He... He could get lost.

He is not ready

for this kind of a trip.

He was ready.

And, besides, have you ever

known Mickey to be lost?

Okay, so I'm a little lost.

What do all these symbols mean?

I have no idea.

We need a key.

Are you sure my grandpa jack

didn't leave you anything else

That could maybe

help us with this?

No.

He gave me a cookbook.

And I can't even boil water.

We need that cookbook.

Okay.

Clues, clues.

Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie.

Tarnation!

What is it?

Whoa.

Symbols.

And their meanings.

Hey, I found one.

This one means "silver."

The symbol from the stump.

This one means...

"Petoskey stone."

This must be

one of the elements.

And we thought

it was just a map.

Explains why grandpa had it

in his safety deposit box.

And why

stumpwater was so upset

When you going to throw it

into the lake.

Oh, my gosh.

The article from the museum.

The antikythera thing.

It's in the museum somewhere.

It's one of the elements.

How did we miss it?

Oh, I've been in that place.

It's a wonder

you ever found your way out.

This one means...

"Sapphire of Sudan."

Now,

I know we don't have that.

It's what the last clue

leads to.

Do you know where it is?

The lighthouse.

"Fire of rotation"?

I've seen this one before.

And so have you.

What?

The three elements.

And the alchemy machine.

It must all work like a recipe.

A recipe for disaster.

All right,

you two get to the lighthouse

And find the sapphire.

I'll go to the museum

And find that antikythera

gizmo thing.

I'm driving.

About time.

That old man's

tougher than gator hide.

'Cause he had to hurt my hand.

What?

This is why mama never let him

talk at home.

She said, "Billy lee,

you got all the brains

And all the looks."

The alchemy machine

is nearly finished.

Now, bring me those elements!

Yes, sir.

Come on, Jeremiah.

Do you think the alchemy

machine would really work?

My grandpa wasn't crazy.

No way would he have tried

so hard to protect the elements.

Well, he definitely

made the right decision

In picking you for the job.

I hope you're right.

"It has illuminated the

path home for many a lost soul."

Well,

there's nothing down here.

Maybe upstairs?

You scared of heights?

Me too.

There's nothing up here.

So then where's the sapphire?

Man, that thing is bright.

It's beautiful.

No wonder it's so bright.

And all he had to do

was look at the light

To make sure it was safe.

Genius.

He could see it from
