Since Johanna was working every day that week, she wasn't able to show the clue to her friends until Saturday.
"All right! New clue! Where do we go?" Toby asked.
"I'll be going to my job, but you guys can go find the next clue," she replied.
"What does it say?" Rudolph asked.
Johanna pulled the order slip out of her pocket and read, "Find the old store that was owned by the father of a girl who worked here. Look in the part that leads to May flowers."
"What does that even mean?" Brooke asked.
"In the movie, didn't Sam Loomis own a hardware store in town?" Katherine asked. "I remember being in a scene where Lila went there. You know, in the play."
"Yeah! And Sam and Lila had a daughter, Mary, who worked at the old diner in the second one!" Megan said.
Rudolph though aloud, "OK. The clue will be at the old Sam's Hardware Store. Is it even still called that? I mean if it's still around…"
"I don't know, but we could look," Brooke said.
Toby asked, "What's the deal with the line about the May flowers? We can't be looking for Pilgrim ships, right?"
"No, but I think it does have to do with a joke… the one about April showers…" Rudolph replied. "Wait. My dad was born in April; he killed someone in the shower… Maybe we should look in the shower head section!"
