"I need your help!"exclaimed the voice on the other end.
"Sneaky husbands are our specialty."Arm said calmly.
"I don't have a sneaky husband! What I have is a missing television set!"
"Oh."
"See, it was right here yesterday, and now it's gone!"
Arm got all the details, and they were back at the mansion again, with Kurt in despair.
"See? I just can't understand it! It didn't just grow legs and walk away did it?"
"That's highly unlikely."
"Just what I'm saying!"
"When did you last see, I mean, watch it?"
"Um, probably last night."
"Anything unusual happen between last night and today?"
"Um..."Kurt thought about it.
"Well, yeah, Jean was going out with Bobby or something."
Lance snickered.
"Hmm, Scott is really upset."
"I would imagine so."
"This place is a gold mine!"exclaimed Pietro. "I don't know why we didn't become detective before. Before you know it, we'll be solving a big mystery, and they won't have enough to pay us."
"Well, what could have happened to that television set?"
They looked all over the room, and found no sign.
"Hmm, foot prints."said Eye, looking at the floor. "Right here, obviously where they dragged the television set."
"Good work, Eye."
They followed them all the way to a locked door.
"Okay, who in their right minds would lock the tv in their own house? Wouldn't it make sense to leave it where it was?"asked Lance.
"Anyone got lockpicks or anything?"
Lance got a hairpin out.
"You never know when you might need it."he said.
"What are you doing?"asked Logan.
"We found the television."said Blob.
"It's locked in this room, yo."Toad explained.
"Yeah, cause I put it there."
"You did?"
"Why?"
"Why? Cause these kids are too busy watching stupid cartoons instead of training and doing their homework. Got the professor's permission to lock it up until grades improve and everyone moves up a level in the danger room!"
"Oh, well. No mystery then."
"Right. Now get out."
"Ah! But how am I supposed to get my grades to improve without watching Discovery?"asked Kurt.
"Beats me."
"Oh well."
He paid them, and they left.
"At least we don't have to worry about that."said Lance, as they sat around, watching a movie.
The phone rang, and Arm went to answer it.
