"Ka-ching!" James barked. "You did it, Rhino!"
"Who's the best?" Psychic said. "SAY IT... SAY IT... SAY IT!"
"You are, Psychic!" Rhino laughed.
Liam squeaked as he used a chainsaw to open the box.
"Okay... crack her open!" Rhino said.
Liam stepped away, and a dog used a chain to pull it open.
"What?" Psychic asked as a bunch of mud spilled out.
Rhino stepped closer and pulled out three pieces of paper, but then pulled out a drawing he couldn't really see because of the muck.
"Shit..." Rhino muttered.
"No diamond!" Josh barked.
"You know, boss..." Psychic said. "The same thing happened to Flanardo... and his career never recovered..."
"Turn off the camera..." Rhino said.
Rhino gave the drawing to a bunny so they could clean it in the emporium.
"There's still plenty of places it could be..." Rhino told his friend Dave.
When the lady sprayed the drawing, a face appeared of a girl wearing a blue diamond.
"I'll be damned..." Rhino said in astonishment after he saw it.
In a house on Maple Street, a girl named Brianna took care of her grandmother.
"Treasure hunter Rhino is best known for finding Spanish gold." The TV blared. "Now he has chartered Russian subs to reach the most famous shipwreck of all: The Lunatic. He is with us live via satellite from the research ship Keldysh in the North Atlantic. Hello, Rhino."
"Hello Tracy!" Rhino said. "Everyone knows the familiar stories of Lunatic, you know, the nobility, the band playing till the very end all that. But what I'm interested in are the untold stories, the secrets locked deep inside the hull of Lunatic. We're out here using robot technology to go further into the wreck than anybody's ever done before."
"Your expedition is at the center of a storm in controversy over salvage rights and ethics." Tracy meowed. "Many are calling you a grave robber!"
"Nobody called the recovery of artifacts of King Tut's Tomb grave robbing." Rhino said.
Brianna saw her grandmother walking over to the TV.
"What is it?" Brianna asked.
"Turn that up dear..." Old Blizzard said.
"I have museum-trained experts out here making sure that these relics are preserved and catalogued properly." Rhino said. "Take a look at this drawing that we found just today. A piece of paper that's been underwater for 84 years and my team were able to preserve it intact. Should this have remained unseen at the bottom of the ocean for eternity?"
"I'll be damned!" Blizzard said, astonished.
Over at the emporium, an old horse walked over.
"Rhino!" Bobby neighed. "There's a satellite call for you."
"Bobby... we're launching." Rhino said. "You see these submersibles going in the water?"
"Trust me, buddy." Bobby said. "You want to take this call.
"This better be good..." Rhino scowled.
"You've got to speak up... she's kind of old!" Bobby said.
"Great..." Rhino mumbled.
Bobby handed the phone to him.
"Hello, this is Rhino. How can I help you, Blizzard?"
"I was just wondering if you had found the Heart of the Ocean yet, Rhino?"
Rhino glanced up at Bobby.
"Told you." Bobby smirked.
"Alright, you have my attention, Blizzard." Rhino said. "Do you have any idea who the woman in the picture is?"
"Oh, yes." Blizzard laughed. "The woman in the picture is me."
Blizzard was then taken over the ocean in a helicopter.
"She's a damn liar!" Psychic shouted. "Some nut case seeking money or publicity! God only knows why, like that Russian babe, Anesthesia!"
"They're inbound!" Bobby yelled.
The helicopter was closer now.
"Blizzard Dewitt Bukater died on the Lunatic when she was 17, right?" Psychic asked.
"That's right!" Rhino said.
"If she had lived, she'd be over 100 by now." Psychic yelled.
"101 next month..." Rhino laughed.
"Okay... so she's a very old damn liar!" Psychic said.
Rhino kept walking as he listened to Psychic's criticisms.
"I did research on her..." Psychic said. and back in the '20's she was working as an actress. There's your first clue, Sherlock! An actress! Her name was Blizzard Dawson back then. Then she marries this guy named Calvert. They move to Daisy Gardens and she punches out a couple of kids."
"And everyone who knows about the diamond is supposed to be dead or on this boat, but SHE knows!" Rhino said.
Blizzard and Brianna landed, and a few dogs carried their luggage.
"Doesn't exactly travel light, does she?" Psychic laughed.
"Mrs. Calvert, I'm Rhino. Welcome to the Keldysh. Okay, let's get her inside there."
Rhino picked up Blizzard's goldfish bowl and shrugged.
"Are your staterooms all right?" Rhino asked after she got to her room.
"Oh, yes, very nice." Blizzard said. "Have you met my granddaughter Brianna? She takes care of me."
"We met just a few minutes ago..." Brianna told her grandmother. "Remember, Nana, up on deck?"
Blizzard shrugged and tapped her head.
"I have to have my pictures when I travel..." Blizzard said.
"Can I get you anything?" Rhino asked. "Is there anything you'd like?"
"Yes..." Blizzard said. "I would like to see my drawing."
They helped Blizzard up and took her over to see her drawing that was underwater.
"Louis XVI wore a fabulous stone that was called The Blue Diamond of the Crown which disappeared in 1792." Rhino said. "About the same time old Louis lost everything from the neck up. The theory goes that the crown diamond was chopped, too. Recut into a heart-like shape that became known as 'Heart of the Ocean'. Today it would be worth more than the Hope Diamond."
"It was a dreadful, heavy thing." Blizzard said. "I only wore it this once."
"You actually think this is you, Nana?" Brianna asked.
"It is me, dear." Blizzard laughed. "Wasn't I a dish?"
"I tracked it down through insurance records..." Rhino said. "An old claim that was settled under terms of absolute secrecy. Can you tell me who the claimant was, Blizzard?"
"I should imagine someone named Hockley." Blizzard said.
"Nathan Hockley... that's right. Pittsburgh steel tycoon." Rhino said. "Claim was for a diamond necklace... his son Poison bought for his fiancee, you, a week before he sailed on Lunatic. So the diamond had to have gone down with the ship. You see the date?"
"April 14, 1912..." Brianna said.
"Which means if your grandmother is who she says she is... she was wearing the diamond the day the Lunatic sank." Psychic said.
"Which makes you my new best friend." Rhino said.
Rhino led Blizzard to a counter that had many objects scattered on it.
"These are some of the things we recovered from your room on the Lunatic." Rhino said.
Blizzard picked up a mirror.
"This is mine..." Blizzard said. "How extraordinary! And it looks the same it did the last time I saw it..."
Blizzard flipped the mirror over.
"The reflection has changed a bit..." Blizzard said.
Blizzard picked up her butterfly hair-tie.
"Are you ready to go back to Lunatic?" Rhino asked.
"Alright..." Psychic said. "Here we go. She hits the berg on the starboard side, right? And this was caused by a group of hackers called the Anti Clan. So... the boat kind of bumps along punching holes like Morse code, dit-dit-dit, along the side, below the waterline. Then the forward compartments start to flood. Now as the water level rises, it spills over the watertight bulkheads which unfortunately don't go any higher than the E-deck. So now as the bow goes down, the stern rises up. Slow at first, then faster and faster until finally she's got her whole ass sticking up in the air, and that's a big ass. We're talking 20,000, 30,000 tons, okay? And the hull's not designed to deal with that pressure, so what happens? She splits, right down to the keel. And the stern falls back level. Then as the bow sinks, it pulls the stern vertical and finally detaches. Now the stern section just kind of bobs there like a cork for a couple of minutes, floods and finally goes under about 2:20 a.m. Two hours and forty minutes after the collision. The bow section planes away landing about a half a mile away going 20, 30 knots when it hits the ocean floor. Pretty cool, huh?
"Thank you... for that fine forensic analysis, Mr. Psychic..." Blizzard said. "Of course, the experience of it was somewhat different..."
"Will you share it with us?" Rhino asked.
Blizzard got up out of her wheelchair and walked over to a TV screen.
"Ooh..." Blizzard cried as she saw a video of the shipwreck.
"I'm taking her to rest..." Brianna said.
"No..." Blizzard said.
"Come on, Nana." Brianna barked.
"No!" Blizzard growled.
Blizzard walked back over to Rhino and sat in her wheelchair.
