22 and a good time was had by all! Several hours later, Mimi, Papa, Christina, Grant, Amy, Courtney, Alex, and Joe sat on the deck of a waterside restaurant overlooking Jamestown. It was a celebration dinner! “I just want to thank you all for working so hard on my behalf,” Joe said. He raised his glass of iced tea in a toast to them all, including Clue, who thumped his tail happily on the deck. “You know,” Mimi said, adjusting her widebrimmed straw hat with the red and white ribbon trim, “I just don’t know how you two kids can get into so much mystery trouble when I think I am keeping such a good eye on you!” Christina and Grant giggled. “Well, Mimi, if it’s any consolation, you almost thwarted our search for clues when you took 139
us to Williamsburg and Yorktown,” Christina confessed. “Yeah, but we would never have found good, old, Clue if we hadn’t taken those side trips!” said Grant. He grabbed Clue around the neck in a big hug and fed him a hush puppy from the bread basket on the table. Papa frowned. “Yeah,” he said, “we sure are glad we made that side trip.” When everyone looked at him, he broke into a grin. He already loved Clue as much as they all did. “What I don’t understand,” said Amy, with a serious look at Courtney, “is why you kids didn’t think to come and ask us adults for help.” Courtney sighed. “I guess we got caught up in the moment. We just kept thinking we were so close to solving the mystery and saving Joe’s job and reputation, that we just kept going.” “I think it’s the bad guy who got caught!” said Grant happily. “He was one scary dude!” “Yeah,” Alex chimed in. “And to think he used to be one of my dad’s best workers. His name is Bill. He sure did try to trick us with all those red herring clues.” “I think he was just trying to be duplicitous,” said Mimi. 140
