17 clue! “Of course!” said Christina. “Of course!” squealed Grant. “Of course!” agreed Courtney. “Of course!” shouted Alex. Mimi and Papa looked puzzled. So did the woman. “Of course what?” Papa said. Christina giggled. “Well, of course, a bloodhound who tracks people and things that are missing should be named CLUE!” Everyone laughed, except Clue, who decided at that moment to hike up his leg and wet Mimi’s best pair of shoes! Then he grabbed a pillow off the bed with his teeth and shook and shook and shook until feathers began to fly everywhere! “He’s going to be a handful,” said the woman. 117

We will!” promised Grant and Christina together. “Gruuuuff!” said Clue. When Papa suggested that the kids take Clue outside for a walk, they were very eager. Now that he was their very own bloodhound clue-hunting mystery dog, they were ready to get to work.

For a few minutes, they walked up and down the rows of green-eared tobacco leaves. “It’s hard to believe something this pretty ends up as stinky old cigarettes,” said Christina. “Or snuff!” said Courtney. “Let’s look for bones, please,” pleaded Alex. For awhile, they saw nothing suspicious, until they reached the last plant on the final row. There, attached to a stalk with gardening twine, was another white note. 118
