The gang made it to Milwaukee a few days later. They arrived in early afternoon. They found the nearest hotel and checked in. When the gang found their rooms on the third floor, they all found a text message from Kylie. It said: 'Write me when you arrive. K After seeing her message, they decided to unpack first before they texted Kylie.
It took Jessica and Gloria longer to unpack like Danny since they bought so much stuff. It took Danny a while longer than the guys because his mother, Daphne had packed up a lot of things for him. Unlike his mother, Danny didn't seem to care much about fashion. He was more into sports than fashion.
"Why did your mom pack so much on this trip?" Ryan asked.
"You know how Mom gets when it comes to traveling," Danny reminded him and Frank.
Frank nodded in agreement.
"Still, your mom doesn't need to pack so much when you'll be gone for a while," Frank said.
"I know. She doesn't need to, but my guess is she wants me to come prepared. I keep telling her I can pack my own things but she insists she pack up my things," Danny told the two.
In the girls' room, Gloria and Jessica were finally finished unpacking. Both girls saw Kylie's text message. The girls could guess Kylie probably had more info on Andy's murder case. They hadn't yet checked Kylie's message enough to know.
They left their room and decided to see if the boys finished unpacking yet. The guys had already finished helping Danny when Gloria and Jessica knocked on the door. Ryan answered.
"Come on in, girls," Ryan greeted them.
"Thanks, Ryan," both girls said in unison.
Jessica and Gloria followed him in.
"Hi, girls," Frank and Danny said.
Gloria pushed her brown hair out of her face. People in the past until today have told her she was the spitting image of her father, Shaggy Rogers.
"Now we're all unpacked, what should we do now?" Frank asked.
"We're here to solve Andy's murder, right?" Ryan asked as the gang nodded.
"I'd suggest we separate and see what we can find. That's what Kylie's father used to say," Danny said.
Whenever Kylie couldn't attend a murder with them, Danny always took her part as leader of the pack. They separated in their usual groups, Danny went by himself, Jessica and Ryan in another and finally, Frank and Gloria. Danny offered to talk to Sheriff Cline while Jessica and Ryan would look around for witnesses, and Gloria and Frank checked the sheriff's office.
"If anyone finds anything, send text messages," Gloria suggested.
"Good idea, Gloria," Jessica agreed as the gang went their own ways. That's when Danny checked for any new text messages and it turned out there was one from Kylie. Before unlocking the new SUV, he decided to check in with Kylie. He texted: Find anything on the murderer? She texted: You bet I did. It was on the twelve o'clock news. He texted back: Do you want to send the details now? She texted: I'd rather send the info one text at once so I won't have to keep sending it. He texted: I could always send to the gang if you'd like. She texted: Okay. Find any new clues? He texted: Not yet. We just split up, so it's a bit too early for that. We'll let you know and you can share on facebook. She texted: Sounds good. I will send the info later. Hope it helps. That's when they signed off.
Danny finally unlocked the SUV and started the ignition. He drove to the crime scene and see if the sheriff was there. At the sheriff's office, Gloria and Frank headed straight to the sheriff's office without any of the other officers were not paying attention. Ryan and Jessica had figured they were thirteen years in the future. They found a electronic on Sheriff Cline's desk.
"Is that a clue?" Frank asked.
"I would think so, but we do know one thing about this electronic: it's not a cell phone," Gloria said.
"It really doesn't look like one," Frank agreed.
"If it's not a cell phone, what do you think it is?" Frank asked.
"I'm not sure but we can try to figure it out," she agreed and took a picture of the little iPad.
She sent the picture of the black and white iPad to the rest of the gang, including Kylie so she could share it on facebook.
"Another clue we found," Gloria said to her older brother.
"What's the other clue?" he asked.
"We came here thirteen years in the future!" Gloria gasped, reading the time on Sheriff Cline's computer.
They saw the date, time, and year.
"Like Dad would say, 'zoinks,'" Frank said as Gloria nodded.
"That's true," she agreed.
That's when she and Frank heard footsteps heading to the sheriff's desk.
"Hide!" Frank whispered.
They both hid under the desk so they wouldn't be seen. Danny noticed the crime scene investigators weren't around.
Danny saw the yellow police tape on the white patrol car, but he did know he couldn't get close to the car. He saw the car was big enough for four people. He didn't care about the yellow tape and stepped over it and got closer. He wanted to see what he could find. That's when redhead Karen McCarey headed his way.
"Put your hands up!" Danny heard a woman's voice say.
'I'm in trouble now,' he thought to himself.
"Did I do something wrong, Officer?" he asked.
"You bet you did. Do you see the yellow tape?" Karen asked.
"Yes. What about it?" he asked, pretending he didn't know what the tape was when he did know.
While studying redhead Karen McCarey, he saw she was wearing a light tan uniform, a police badge, hair washed recently, gun in her pocket, handcuffs, and black Nikes. He knew Deputy McCarey was not his type of girl for him. While holding his hands in the air, he waited as Karen called in the sheriff's department.
Back at the sheriff's office, Sheriff Cline was now at his desk. Little did he know Frank and Gloria were hiding under his desk. Frank and Gloria moved out of the sheriff's way so he wouldn't know they were there. They were wrong. Sheriff Cline did finally noticed Gloria and Frank.
"Just exactly what do you two doing at my desk?" Cline asked.
Both knew Cline didn't sound very happy.
"We're here as college students doing a report on how the police department works," Frank liked through his teeth as Gloria nodded.
"You don't look like college kids to me," he returned.
Just then Karen came in with Danny.
"Sheriff, I caught this trespasser. I'm going to lock him up," Karen told Sheriff Cline.
"What did this gentleman do?" Sheriff Cline asked, seeing Danny in handcuffs.
"He was trespassing on the crime scene," Karen reported.
"What were you exactly doing on the crime scene? That is the murder scene," Sheriff Cline told him.
