The next day they all met up at the San Francisco airport. They got through security and took their seats on the airplane. Monk sat in the middle with Terri and Natalie on the sides.
"Wipe please?" Monk asked, gesturing for a wipe.
"Why does he need a wipe? Terri asked.
"He likes to wipe the seat before he sits in it," explained Natalie.
The flight to Medicine Hat went smoothly and Monk was relieved to get off the plane. They went to a nearby hotel to stay while they solved the case.
"Do you have a room available?" Natalie asked the clerk at the front desk.
"Yes, you're in luck . Its the only one left open, room 122." the clerk replied.
"Uh..that won't work," Monk said
"Why?"
"Its not a round number."
"Monk, its ok, at least it even." Natalie said, trying to stop him from creating any more problems.
"Your girlfriend is right..." Terri added,
"Um, we're not dating," Natalie said turning to the taller women.
"Oh, I'm sorry, could've sworn you were by the way you two were acting in the airport."
"Thats ok," said Natalie. They all went up to the room, which turned out to double bedroom. Monk and Natalie decided to sleep on one bed together with Terri on the other. Later that night, they all went out to dinner.
"Theres too much stuff on this french fry," Monk stated, looking at the plate of poutine that Natalie suggested he try.
"No its fine, thats how they're made. Anyway where do you think we should check for?" Terri asked.
"Wait, that guy you knocked out, maybe theres something at his house that can give us a clue." Monk said.
"Wait I remeber now, he name was Mickey Wilson, from my high school." Terri exclaimed.
"Do you know if he still lives here Terri?" asked Natalie.
"Theres was a rumor before I left for Nashville that he still lives in the same house he was raised in, even after his parents left." Terri said, closing her eyes, "His house was on the same street as mine. Follow me!" Terri got out of her chair with Monk and Natalie following after putting the money on the table. They ran down sidewalks narrowly avoiding crashing into people. Terri was running faster than Monk and Natalie so they both had too run faster to catch up. After running for 15 minutes, they finally got to the house. Terri unlocked the door by using a hairpin in her hair.
"Wow, you're good." Natalie commented.
"Thanks, its one of my many skills." said Terri.
They walked in and went to the living room when they all started looking. 10 minutes passed when Terri got a vision of Mickey talking on the phone with the other guy.
"Are you ok?" Natalie asked walking up to Terri.
"I think she's having a vision." Monk said
"Well, what do you see?"
"He talking on the phone with the other guy," Natalie grapped her notebook and pen and started writing it down. "He's telling him that he doesn't want to steal my guitar but the other guy is threatening to kill him if he doesn't go with him. Now I'm getting a feeling the other guy is somewhere in town." Terri explained. "If it helps, I also have the feeling it might be someone my mother knows. It might be the live-in housekeeper she hired a few years ago."
They all went to Linda's, Terri mother, house and they were all in the living room telling her about whats going on. Linda started telling them about Johnny Cash and the guitar when she was told about the case.
"Um..ma'am, sorry to interuppted, but did you noticed anything strange lately?" asked Monk.
"Thats ok, well now that you mentioned it, he did seem to be in his room a lot lately downstairs, more than usualy." Linda replied.
"Uhh, Natalie, it might be dirty down there,"
"Monk, it'll be ok. We'll all go down."
"I think I stay here if you don't mind," said Linda. Natalie, Monk and Terri went downstairs, Monk counting the steps as usual, we they got into the room Monk then notices some powder on the floor as he walked in on one of the room.
"Drugs, he was doing drugs," Monk said as Natalie look through the room. Natalie was looking under the bed when she found a letter saying he was fired from the Terri Clark band. Terri then explained that he was always late, smoking where he shouldn't and that he was being rude to everyone and not taking good care of the instuments like he was supposed too.
"The back, it says she'll be sorry she fired me." Added Monk.
"Oh, oh," Terri suddenly said closing her eyes.
:"Are you ok, here sit on the bed," Natalie said.
"I remeber why I wanted him fired in the first place. He was obsessed with me.
