After taking the rabbit to the ER. Gregg and Jen. Go back home. But Gregg didn't leave empty handed. But came back with one of the valuable stones.
----------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Hah. I think this will cost us a fortune. At least we got something good from that "ware-blouse".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Jen on the other hand, starts looking at the under her bed... Looking for the newspaper she mentioned earlier.
------------------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----"Wait a second Gregg... I got to find that paper
It's gotta be around here somewhere..." *She checks her closet and can only find her clothes* "Shit, where did I put it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Seriously. It's embarrassing that you still read newspapers these days. We have cellphones and laptops... LAPTOPS Jen!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----"Gregg, this is serious..." *She looks in her drawers and finds nothing. Until she opens the bottom drawers and finds the newspaper.* "Found it!" *Jen begins to read the newspaper*
-------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Ugh you're reading it? Fine.... What does it say?"
----------------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----"I knew it! Humphrey Longdonner. The person who went missing a few years ago. And uh...." *She looks at a picture of him on her phone* "Ah, yep! There's an old picture of him. When he was younger. It's the same guy in the burned photo! But who's the otter?
---------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Maybe, it's just his friend. It's not that important. But why did you even keep the newspaper at all?
----------------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----*Jen looks at Gregg with disbelief* "Because, Gregg. Remember that one record store over by the highway?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Yeah.... Oakside radio. What about it"
---------------------------Jen
-----"And who made oakside radio?"
-------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Um... Joseph, was it? Joseph Danny Longdonn-."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg freezes in realization.
-------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Ohhh my gosh! So your saying he and Humphrey are related!"
-------------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----"Yeah. They definitely are. They both have the same fur color... There's obviously no coincidence here."
----------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"So we actually just solved a mystery.... Wow this is awesome! We are actually on to something big! A missing relative mystery! We might actually be on to something so big! We might actually be able to find money or gold or... DIAMONDS!
--------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm exhausted from that warehouse situation. Let's just calm down for the rest of the day...
----------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Dang, Jen, back at it again with the lazy attitude. *Gregg smiles to himself*
-----------------------------------------------------------------Jen
-----"Gregg I was the one carrying a insane old guy all the way to the damn hospital. I think I deserve to rest! And you can go back there if you wa-"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Gregg
---------"Nah, I was gonna go back to bed too actually.... *Yawns* I'm TIRED! *Gregg heads upstairs to his room* bye byeeee...."
-----------------------------------------------------------------Jen groans at Gregg's change of man and goes upstairs to her room to do her own business. Besides they need to rest for their next adventure...
