The Second Clue, or not?

"Ohhhhh, nice digs Mordred." Lisa said as she, PJ, Jessica, and Keith walked into Keith's room. "All the books are on here you'll see." PJ said laying a brief case on Keith's bed. There was an electronic click as he opened the case. "Wow, you are really into the Casey Calloway books." Jessica said. "Here's the Mystery of the Fortune Cookie." Keith said removing said book from the case. "Yeah, but I don't see," PJ says. "A clue anywhere. Neither do I. we better examine all the details." Lisa finishes, taking the book from Keith. "I agree." PJ said. "Look at the author's photo on the back," Jessica suddenly says. Lisa flipped the book over. "See that picture hanging on the wall?" Jessica asks.

"Yeah. Nice job short stuff. That's the code alright." PJ said. Keith uses his phone to decode the Matrix Code. "Where did Casey Calloway get fined?" he read. "Oh. That was in book two the Mystery of Door Number One. Casey Calloway had an old overdue book," PJ says. "At the library, the next clue will be at the library." Lisa says. "Yeah, took the words right," he said. "Out of your mouth." She finished, putting the book back. He closes the case. "let's go." She said as they left Keith's room.


Meanwhile with Francine

Francie sat on a bench with her legs stretch out on the bench as well, with a laptop in her lap. "Alright Matrix Code website give me something I can use." She says. "Matrix Codes blah blah blah… aren't they great blah blah blah…" she says before suddenly stopping and facing forward. "Wait a second I can make up my own Matrix Codes?" she asks. "That's how I'm going to cheat. And I'm suppose to cheat. It's in my character." she says taking out a stalk of celery and taking a bite. "I love it." she says, before she starts to cough.


Time skip.

Francine arrived at the library before PJ, Lisa, Keith, and Jessica. "Got it," she says using her phone to decode the Matrix code. "Where was Casey Calloway's corniest hiding place?" she read. "Ha. That's book eight the Mystery of Luigi Smart." She says. She sees that PJ, Lisa, Keith, and Jessica are almost to the library. Quickly Francine places her fake code over the real code, then hides in the alley right next to the library.

"The code is right here." Keith said, taking out his phone. "Where did Mike "Baby Face" Walker eat a cheese burrito? " he read. "Why that's in book six," PJ says. "Yeah, the Mystery of the Lethal Chimichanga. Baby Face Walker and Double Talk Santora were at a diner." Lisa says. "Diner? Could she mean the Electric Diner?" Jessica asks. "Doesn't add up we were just there." PJ says. "Well maybe we missed a clue." Lisa said.

"I'm Casey Calloway, I don't miss clues." He said. "Oh, well? What about in book two when you missed a clue floating around in your soap and somehow the Handy Helping Hand had some way to point it out. Or in book five when you missed a clue on the hump the camel and somehow the Handy Helping Hand…" she says but is cut off by PJ "Alright. Alright. Alright." he said. "Yeah." She said. "Maybe I missed a few clues." he said. "Well maybe you did." she said.

"I guess we should head back to the diner." Jessica said, shrugging. They left for the diner. "You guessed wrong girly. You guessed wrong." Francine said, walking out of the alley.
