Dinner with Aunt Jean
After demolishing 3 tacos, Linda devours a second helping of desert as they sit sprawled in the
courtyard watching the Californian night sky.
Aunt Jean looks around at them and coughs, nervously.

"Jeremiah helped start this town. He was the first mayor and one of the first storekeepers. He helped people if they were down on their luck and he helped build a sense of community." |
 |
"But mom – what if he was involved in something bad? We can’t ignore it." |
|
"And what if he wasn’t? Old bits and pieces from the past don’t prove anything – and they can’t be allowed to stop what we’re doing." |
 |
"We don’t want to cause any trouble, or hurt Jeremiah’s memory. Maybe we can clear his name and help the old town at the same time." |
|
"You can investigate where the artifacts came from. But don’t tell anyone what you’re doing. If you’re asked, say you’re researching a school project. Understand?" |
The detectives promise to do as Aunt Jean asks. When she goes inside, Brad asks Laura to fetch Jeremiah’s old box and the mysterious letter and artifacts she found. The detectives can’t wait to see them.
