In this episode, 18 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: we are going to finish our latest story about Red 19 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: the Transfer student. In the last episode, Red and the 20 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: Solving a Mystery Club decided they needed to meet to 21 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: figure out what happened to Missus Johnson. Red wasn't convinced 22 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: anything was wrong until someone said they had seen people 23 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: wearing black suits and sunglasses putting Missus Johnson into a 24 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: black van. Will they be able to figure out what 25 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: happened the Transfer Student Part six For Red, the afternoon 26 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: of classes went by incredibly slow. None of the classes, 27 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: even science, could hold her interest, as she was constantly 28 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: thinking about the after school meeting with Rachel, Charlie and 29 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: Alexa of the Solving a Mystery Club. Why is it 30 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: that time moves so slowly when you have somewhere else 31 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: you want to be thought read? The idea that the 32 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: AID might be involved with Missus Johnson's sudden departure from 33 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: school occupied her thoughts. She really hoped her slight slip 34 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: of the tongue was not the cause. These were good people, 35 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: and she couldn't bear the idea that somehow she might 36 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: be responsible for any kind of inconvenience because of what 37 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: she said. Where might they have taken her? Surely not 38 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: off world? Or maybe it wasn't serious at all? Maybe 39 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: they just drove up in a black van and invited 40 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: her out to dinner for a talk, and the restaurant 41 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: was so good she couldn't say no. Or maybe, as 42 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Alexi said, we all just have an overactive imagination. I 43 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: guess we will find out after school, she thought. The 44 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: school bell finally rang, and Red pulled out her phone 45 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: to send her mother a message. I'm going to hang 46 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: out with some friends right after school and won't be 47 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 1: taking the bus home. Is that okay? That's so awesome, Red. 48 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm glad to see you are making friends, but how 49 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: are you getting home? Red hadn't actually thought that far ahead. 50 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: She took the bus for a reason they lived across town, 51 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: but she figured she would work out the details later. Sorry, mom, 52 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of that. Don't worry. I'll send you 53 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: a taxi with the app they use here. Okay, love you, 54 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: me too. The meeting was at the far end of 55 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: the sports field, underneath the oak tree. As Red walked 56 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: around the field, there was what Red thought was called 57 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: soccer practice going on, and Red could see Kurt, who 58 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: was easy to spot as she was larger than everyone 59 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: else times too, Hey, Red, tell the gang if you 60 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: need help. I will be finished practice in an hour 61 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: or so, yelled Kurt. Okay, Kurt. Thanks. I'll let them know, 62 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: Red said as she was walking by. As she was 63 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: walking on the grass walking towards the oak tree, she 64 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: noticed that her sneakers were covered in mud. The ground 65 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: was soft and muddy in places Red really didn't like 66 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: getting her sneakers Dirred, Ugh, Charlie and Rachel were already 67 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: there waiting at the oak tree. This particular tree had 68 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: been a meeting place for many students over the years. 69 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: With the scars to prove it, Red noticed at least 70 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: twelve different names carved into the tree. Hi guys, said Red, 71 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: I read we are just waiting for Alexa. I think 72 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: she had to talk to her math teacher after school 73 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: about something. Did you guys run here or something? I 74 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: thought I walked fast, said Red, who thought Charlie and 75 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: Rachel seemed less athletic than even herself. The most athletic 76 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: thing Red had done lately was run from the food 77 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: that her brother Blue always seemed to be throwing. I 78 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: think it helped that I helped Charlie put his shoes 79 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: on properly, Rachel said, with a laugh. Charlie just turned 80 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: a couple shades of red. Hi, everyone said Alexa as 81 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: she arrived a little out of breath. So what's next? 82 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: Has anyone formulated a plan as to how we can 83 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: solve this mystery? Red laughed to herself in her excitement 84 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: to get involved. She hadn't actually thought how they might 85 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: go about finding where missus Johnson might have gone, or 86 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: if she had been kidnapped or simply home with a cold. 87 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: That's a good point, Rachel said, with a smile. I 88 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: guess we couldn't just call missus Johnson on the phone 89 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: or go and talk to the principal. Alexa asked talk 90 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: to Principal Burke, Red said, with a look of fear 91 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: on her face. I thought we could start by going 92 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: to missus Johnson's house and see if she is there, 93 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: said Charlie. Is it far, asked Red, No, not at all. 94 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: She lives just a ten minute walk from here, so 95 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: we can go and investigate and then come back here 96 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: to decide what to do next, said Charlie. And get 97 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: picked up so I can get home for pizza, Alexa said, 98 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: as everyone was looking at her because her stomach was 99 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: making loud noises. Sorry, I'm starving. I must warn you 100 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: guys of one thing, Charlie said, capturing everyone's attention. Missus 101 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: Johnson's house looks really creepy, he said, with the sound 102 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: of fear in his voice. Ugh, Red, Alexa, Rachel, and 103 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: Charlie walked toward Missus Johnson's house, with Charlie leading the 104 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: way with his eyes concentrating on the map on his phone. 105 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: Rachel would have to occasion save him from walking into 106 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: one of the many trees that lined the sidewalks near 107 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: the school. Most of the houses in this neighborhood were 108 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: small and close to the street. Red thought they were interesting, 109 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: but she didn't like all the green on Mars. The 110 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: landscape was mostly butterscotch in color yum, at least to 111 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: her eyes, which, though adapting to the sunlight here on Earth, 112 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: were still not accustomed to all the different colors there. 113 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: It is up ahead, Charlie exclaimed, that's her house, though 114 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: it looks a little different than what street view showed me. 115 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: Missus Johnson's house was different than the others in the neighborhood, 116 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 1: with a large front yard, white picket fence, and three stories. 117 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: To Red's eyes, it looked more like a work in 118 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: progress or a place that needed a great deal of 119 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: work than something scary. On Mars, the scariest thing she 120 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: had ever seen was when Blue got as diaper changed. Yeah, 121 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: looks like missus Johnson's house might be popular at Halloween, 122 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: Alexi said, especially with those third floor windows. Is that 123 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: a black cat in the upstairs window? Asked Charlie nervously. 124 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: I think it's dirt on your glasses, replied Rachel. Okay, Well, 125 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: thankfully it's not as creepy as you thought, Charlie. But 126 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: what do we do next? I don't see a car 127 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: in the driveway, so maybe Missus Johnson isn't home, said Rachel. 128 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: I think we go have a look. Are we allowed 129 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: to do that? I don't really know the rules here, 130 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't want anyone to be upset at us, 131 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: asked Red. It will be fine. We'll just go up 132 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: and knock on her door, and if she answers, make 133 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: sure she is okay, said Charlie. You go first, Charlie, 134 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: said Alexa. With Charlie leading the way, the kids walked 135 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: up the walkway to the verandah that surrounded the front 136 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: of her house. There were paint cans everywhere, and all 137 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: manner of other things that Red could only assume had 138 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: something to do with repairing the house. Nervous standing in 139 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: front of the door, Alexa asked, so, who wants to knock? 140 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to. You do it? Red? What me? Okay, okay, 141 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: I'll knock on the door, Red said nervously, while everyone 142 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: else was standing back behind her. Red knocked softly on 143 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: the door, harder than that. Red knocked again, harder this time. 144 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: The whole door seemed to vibrate, and they waited and waited. 145 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: No one came to the door. Charlie, where are you going? 146 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm just going to look in the window, Charlie. You 147 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: can't do that, Alexis said, as they all walked over 148 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: to where Charlie was looking in the window. Are you sure, 149 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: missus Johnson even lives here. There appears to be no 150 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: furniture in the living room, and the place looks terribly messy, 151 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:42,359 Speaker 1: asked Red. Yes, I'm sure. I'm going out back, Charlie. 152 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: Be careful, Rachel said, as they all again followed closely 153 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: behind Charlie. Is this the same boy I sit beside 154 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: on the boss? Red thought to herself. Most of the 155 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: yard looked well cared for, except for all the pain cans, ladders, 156 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: and other supplies that were strewn about. Someone obviously lives 157 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: or lived here, thought Red as she cautiously followed the 158 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: others a few steps back. Getting to the backyard, Charlie 159 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: walked to a window and took a look inside. I 160 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: don't see anyone inside. There are dirty dishes on the 161 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: table and what looks like luggage in the doorway between 162 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: the kitchen and the living room, but I don't see 163 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: or hear anything, he said. Well, nobody's home. We should go, then, 164 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: Alexa said, as everyone looked again at her stomach as 165 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: it made even louder grumbling noises. What I'm starving. You're right, 166 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: I guess we should, said Charlie, obviously disappointed. It still 167 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: looks suspicious, said Rachel, as they walked together around to 168 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: the front. I mean the kitchen looked like she was 169 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: attempting to leave in a hurry. There are those scary 170 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: TV shows influencing you, again, said Alexa, holding her stomach. 171 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: As they walked past the front door and started down 172 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: the walkway, Red noticed something. The front door looked different. Hey, guys, 173 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: she said, wasn't the front door closed when I knocked. Yes, 174 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: Rachel said, it looks open now, said Alexa. Okay, now 175 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: this is getting spooky. Maybe we should take a look, 176 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: said Red, now walking back to the front door. Yeah, Red, 177 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: why don't you go knock on that door again. I'll 178 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: stand back here and watch, Alexa said. We should all go, 179 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: Charlie said gently, pushing Alexa along as they all went 180 00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: up to the verandah, I see movement inside. Everyone froze. 181 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: What is it, Charlie asked. I can't see anything. That's 182 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: because your glasses are all fogged up. Silly. I think 183 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: the wise thing to do is to leave, you know, 184 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,239 Speaker 1: just in case, Alexi said, as she and everyone slowly 185 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: backed away from the door. As they turned around and 186 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: started to pick up their pace, a loud voice asked, 187 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: what are you kids doing here? Upon hearing the voice, 188 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: Red almost jumped out of her socks, but like the others, 189 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: she stopped and turned around to see missus Johnson at 190 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: the door. I thought I heard a knock at the door. 191 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: Luckily I came back to shut it. This old door 192 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: never seems to close properly, or I might have missed 193 00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: your visit. What's up, asked missus Johnson. It took a 194 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: moment for the gang to settle themselves. Charlie's glasses were 195 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: completely fogged up, Rachel's face looked gray, and Alexa's stomach 196 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: was making even louder noises. You weren't in school today, 197 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: and we thought we would come and check on you. 198 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: There was no car in the driveway, and while we 199 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: were just leaving, said Red, with a hint of nervousness 200 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: in her voice. Oh aren't you kids sweet? I'd invite 201 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: you in for milk and cookies, but I'm afraid my 202 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: house is a terrible mess. I've been renovating this house 203 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: ever since I moved in two years ago, and I 204 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: don't think I will ever finish. We tried to call first, 205 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: but oh, yes, my phone, Oh my line always seems 206 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: to have some problems. I'm afraid I don't know much 207 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: about these new fangled gadgets, and I just haven't had 208 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: the time to go to the shop to sort it out. 209 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: We teachers are super busy, you know, she said, with 210 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: a twinkle in her eyes. But I heard a rumor 211 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: that you had to go away somewhere, and mister mccaskell 212 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: hasn't been around going away somewhere, missus Johnson said to herself. 213 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: She thought for a minute, what crazy stories these kids 214 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: could have heard, and then she remembered seeing Rachel outside 215 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: her office after her meeting with Principal Burke. Ah, I know, look, Rachel, 216 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: I think you might have overheard something and misunderstood. Principal 217 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: Burke and I have known each other for years and 218 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: she is always trying to convince me to take a 219 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: weekend off or a PD day or something, and I 220 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: have always refused. It drives her crazy, But my life 221 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: is teaching you kids and looking after this house. Though 222 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: I hope I do a better job teaching than I 223 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: do renovating. Mister mccaskell and I both recently won an 224 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: award for teaching, and the award presentation is tomorrow in 225 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: the Big City. He left yesterday and I wasn't going 226 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: to bother to go. Teaching you crazy kids is enough 227 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: of an award for me, but Principal Burke, in her 228 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: usual loud manner, convinced me to go, even calling me 229 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: a chauffeur, which she paid for. It took me the 230 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: better part of today to prepare for the trip. I 231 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: was just packing and getting set to leave for the airport. Sorry, kids, 232 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: I truly appreciate you checking up on me. You're so sweet, 233 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: but I must finish getting ready. My taxi will arrive 234 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: any minute. I'll see you kids in school next week, 235 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Missus Johnson said, as she turned to go into her house. 236 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: What exactly was going on in these kids' minds? She thought? Okay, 237 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: Missus Johnson, we are glad you're a feeling well, Alexis 238 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: said as she started to walk away, fearing that she 239 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: might faint from lack of pizza. See you, Missus Johnson, 240 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: Rachel said, See you, Charlie said, as he walked away 241 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: with his head down. I was convinced that this was 242 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: a serious case for us to solve. Look at the 243 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: bright side, we did work together to solve a case, 244 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: and thankfully it all worked out for the best, said Red. 245 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: I still think you guys watched too many scary TV shows, 246 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: Alexi said, picking up the pace as they walked back 247 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: towards the school. As they were walking along the sidewalk, 248 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: Red thought to herself about how silly she had been 249 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: thinking that something as simple as this could involve the AID, 250 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: like it was some grand conspiracy or something. Maybe I 251 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: was wrong about them all this time. As they continued walking, 252 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: Red noticed, via the reflection in a car window, a 253 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: black car driving slowly off in the distance with two 254 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: large figures inside wearing sunglasses. And that's the end of 255 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: this episode. Good night, sleep Tight.
