That night Webby laid in bed just looking up at the ceiling listening to what her grandmother said going through her mind listening to the words again and again .
She sat up looking at her laptop she flips it open and types baby girl found abandoned in apartment she flips through some articles .Then there it was staring her right in the face she clicks on the article .Little girl ,2 ,found abandoned in Duck High Raise apartments in Duckbill .She begins to read the article .She looks at it blinking her eyes as she reads to herself.
"The little girl was found by the landlord Mike Duckpin of Duckbill .The girls mother was never found but appear to have left the baby several days before."Webby keeps flipping through the articles to find another article she begins to read"Duck High Raise Apartments shut down by housing authority over 300 residents were given 30 day notices as the building failed to meet housing codes.
Mike Duckpin the owner will be facing charges ."She went on to people search after noticing the articles were from 3 years ago .She typed in Ruth Vanderquack in Duckbill and found nothing .So She typed in Mike Duckpin in Duckbill and hit search .An address popped up .She grabbed a pen an paper off the desk and wrote it down.
She crawled off her bed and got dressed .She shook out her piggy bank and dumped the money onto the bed and grabbed it putting it into her pocket.
She wrote a note" Dear Grammy and Uncle Scrooge sorry to leave like this but the only way I am going to find out about my mommie and daddy is to find my mom.I don't know how long this will take but I will be back when I can love you ,Webby"She leaves the note on her grabs a bag and puts a few things inside including Quacky Patch.
She opens the window looking down before she grabs the tree clime and easily climbed down the tree and jumped when she got to the bottom she runs down the driveway and out to the street and puts out her thumb.
A man in truck stops he coughs as he open the door " Your a bit young to hitch hiking

Webby looks up and gulps "yes,sir but I really need to get the bus station "He was so big compared to her and his laugh was really loud

Webby throws her bag in first then climes up into the truck shutting the door"thank you "She whisper softly
The man smiles at her " so what's your name honey and where you headed?"
"I am Webby I need to get to Duckbill I have to go find someone"She held her bag under one hand and looked in his direction as she talked.

He coughs a little "Well little lady I tell yeah I was never one to break up family so lets get you to Duckbill"

The boys bounce to into the kitchen and jump into their chairs .They are extremely hyper in the morning .
"Hey miss Beakley where is the food?"Huey blurts out
"I am so hungry I could eat a house " Dewey says laughing he begins banging his fork on the table .As do Huey and Louie Scrooge comes down rubbing his head hearing the banging.
He shouts out sternly as he enters the room"Boys,stop I have had rough night"
They put down there forks as Miss Beakley sets plates of pancakes along with glasses of orange juice in front of them .They begin eating hungrily .Scrooge looks around the table as he reads the paper and sips his coffee .
"Boys,where is Webby?"He looks at them as through they would know or really care.
"How would we know its not our week to watch her"Louie says laughing stuffing pancakes in his mouth while he talks.
"Well after your done go find her and walk her to school with ya"Scrooge eyes them for minute before returning to his newspaper.
"But Uncle Scrooge every time we walk her to school she walks slower then we do and she makes us late"Huey protest with an angry look on his face
"Boys I don't have time for this Miss Beakley and I need to talk about some things and Duckworth needed the day off so please just help us out ok"He gives them his final word look and they sign before getting up and begin walking toward the stairs
