Storm Break
- As they sit in Miss Rose's house during the storm, the Colonel tells Mo that when Miss Lana told him about that packet of papers in his closet, he knew that he was in some way involved with Robert Slate but he didn't know how.
- He'll have to read through the papers later to figure it out.
- Instead of writing to her upstream mother, this time Mo writes to Miss Lana, saying that they'll find her soon.
- The storm starts to break so the Colonel says that he's going over to Mr. Jesse's. Mo insists on going, too, and Dale decides that he's coming along as her partner.
- At Mr. Jesse's house, they peek through the window and see Slate inside: He's peeling back Mr. Jesse's rug and trying to pry up the floorboard, obviously looking for the money.
- The Colonel has asked the kids to stay put, but when they see Slate leaning into the hole in the floor, Mo and Dale rush in and kick him so that he falls through the hole. Then they drag a table over the hole in the floor and get on top of it.
- The Colonel comes in and demands to know where Miss Lana is, and Slate says that she hit him with a lamp and nearly killed him before she escaped. So all that blood Mo and Dale found was actually Slate's.
- They hear a voice behind them and whirl around to see Miss Lana standing there with Detective Starr. She's safe. Yay.
