General

Once upon a time there was a kid named John. He hated rain up until today when he was taking out the trash.

He spotted something. He thought it was just garbage or a pop can. He wasn't that interested but he figured out he may as well help out the environment so he started walking over and it was reddish looking and the closer he got he was still trying to figure out what it was then he gave up and just picked it up and it was a red SD card. He was curious if anything was on it but he didn't have anything to look on to  see so he thought and thought and thought as hard as he could and then boom he popped up and called his friend Shawn. He had a laptop. He asked if they were doing anything and he said no, why? Just stay there John said.

John told his mom that he was going for a walk even though I wasn't because if I tell her the truth she will say NO you are not going to Shawns.

So I put the red sd card in my pocket and hurry over to Shawns. When I get there Shawn is waiting on is new couch for me. I said get your laptop and meet me down stairs.When Shawn got down stairs he asked ok why are you here.I told him how I found it and I’m here so we can look to see if anything is on it. Ohhh I get it but what if were not supposed to see it

said Shawn.Thats exactly why we are looking. Shawn plugged it in. At first we saw just photos of people and then as we went down there were blue prints on how to destroy the world.

Before we got any farther Shawn said we have to show the cops this John. 

No we must do it ourselves. But why would someone throw this in a snowbank. maybe its a trap ahh. 

Its not a trap Shawn. Now snap out of it. Then explain how else it ended up in the snowbank.

I can’t think of anything at the moment. I’m still trying to figure out why and who wants to blow up the world. The two people at the top.         Boom now come on lets go give this to the cops. Hold on anybody could have put that photo there just to cover their tracks. Oh I know why someone put that there. They want them to go to jail and they threw it in the snowbank 

on purpose. Maybe but why my snowbank. Maybe they know you and how smart you are. I mean I have solved a lot of cases before.

But let’s not get ahead of   ourselves. We don't even know that they are getting framed maybe they want us to think that. Well then let’s keep scrolling down. As we were scrolling down we saw the two people that we saw at the top but this time holding the blue prints and looks as if their names were Skipper and Maryann. So are we going to go catch them Shawn said. I hope so because I guess the world could blow up any second. Ya we need to dress up like astronauts and go to the moon until the world blows up. No we need to stop the world from blowing up. But how?

Not sure. Oh I got one. Let’s give it to the cops.NO. Well I’m not coming with you to get killed.

Then come with me to be heros.

Heros that get killed. Kay stop with killing stuff. We will survive.

Fine but if I come we’re taking the rest of our friends. Sure the more the merrier. So Shawn and I gathered up a group of friends and one random kid. Ok Jake said whats the plan? Get the blue prints said John. And then what? Just let them go said Alex.No. This is why we should have let the cops handel it Shawn said. Ya why didn't you guys show the cops this. 

Because “Mr. I’m the boss” thinks he’ll be famous.

Really dude.

While all you where arguing I came up with a real plan. Ok but before you tell us whats your name? I’m Baxter. Now as I was saying my dad creates weapons for the seal team he could give us some . Yes and no. He can’t know we are doing this. We have to find a way to get them without him knowing said Alex. Oh. Does he bring them home. Sometimes when he is working on them. Boom right there I don't know if I have said this but we are doing this at night. I’m going to invite all of you guys over for a sleep over. Why at night? Well they will lest expect it. I still don't underStand why someone threw it in your snow bank. Maybe they are expecting us. They put it there. Or someone else put it there who tried saving the planet and they couldn't so they threw it out the window into my snowbank before they got killed. And now it is our turn. To die muttered Shawn. NO ITS NOT. We have seal team equipment. Speaking of that I will go see if my my dad brought any home said Baxter. Alex Jake and I are going to see if we can find where they live.

Shawn see if you can find the sneakiest way in. Once we find were they live. Found it said Shawn.

Hey guys I’m back. I got a lot of cool stuff like knock out guns, invisibility potions and a gun magnitizer so if they have guns we can use it to take their guns.

Ok we found were they live. It’s  Hwy 123 Dale rd. And Shawn found a way in. Kay lets all go home and wait about an hour for your invites.

Okay lets hide those weapons in the tree fort. When I got home my mom said are you ok? You've been gone for about two hours. Sorry mom I came across a lost dog so I took it home. Oh that was sweet. Ya anyway can you invite over Shawn, Jake, Alex and a new friend called Baxter Dunlop. Uh sure I guess said my mom.

When they got here I said follow me and went to the garage. Ok where are the weapons. I got them in my bag said Baxter. Okay lets each take one and go. Got it said Shawn. Got what I said. Oh I killed a fly. Whatever. Kay lets go. How are we going to get out. You were not listening we are leaving when my parents go to bed. Oh yeah.

So when do they go to bed. When we say we are going to bed. We will pretend that we are sleeping but were not. And then jump out my window. Ok it’s 9:30 lets go okay.

When we arrived we asked Shawn where the entrance was and it was where the dog house was. Great there’s signs that say beware of dog. That does not always mean its a biting dog. Oh Baxter lets drink the invisible potions. One thing they only last 3:00 Minutes and the blue prints could be anywhere. Duh knock out gun said Jake. Ya about that I only have one bullet.

So lets shoot the dog with the knock out gun. Then look around and as soon as the people in side the house see us drink the potion.

Or I have a tennis ball we can distract the dog and save the bullet

And then look for the blue prints and a rope. Why a rope? Because we can knock out one and tie up the other when we have the invisibility potion on. Okay throw the ball. Come on boy fetch, you want the tennis ball, go get it. Yes the plan worked. Go, go, go. Ok we are in the house. Knock out gun. Here. Thanks locked and loaded got him. See a rope or the blue prints? I see a long wire but no rope. Okay drink the potions.

Can you see me no. Ok got the wire. Make noise to get the woman down here. Ok here she comes. Lay the wire down in a circle and when she steps in the circle run and it should trip her and then we can tie her up. Ready go. Your a good plan maker John. Thanks okay look for the blue prints. You will never find them the woman said. Ok Maryann. Hey how do you know my name? Do you know anything about a red SD card? Ya I found it in my snowbank 

What? How? Thats what we are trying to finger out and why do you want to blow up the world? Because I hate people. You just plane old hate them? Yes . Why? Cause I can. Ya you can but you cant... and before I could finish my sentence I here Jake yelling I found it. Okay someone call the cops to take them to jail said Shawn. Jake let’s see them. Here you go. Hey has anyone seen Baxter?  Yeah he’s calling the cops and before we new it we could here sirens.
