Hidden Orchard Mysteries: The Case of the Air B and B Robbery

HIDDEN ORCHARD MYSTERIES THE CASE OF THE AIR B&B ROBBERY

Now I don't see how this will affect any

of the other HOA members who may or may not

be willing to work with Airbnb.

That's a personal choice, I get that,

but I don't get how a personal decision has

to become a group issue.

What I think my husband is trying to say

is that when this option was presented to each of us

we had a very open discussion.

Now was there a second meeting

that we were not made aware of

where this suddenly became a group decision?

Because it definitely seems that you all

have already made up your minds about what's best

for everybody else.

Well excuse me Ms. Thing,

but what exactly are you trying to insinuate?

I'm not insinuating anything.

I'm just stating a fact, Jack.

Excuse me!

Everybody come, I think we have a problem!

- Is everything okay? - Hurry, hurry!

Now, now!

When I finished my work this morning,

I come to the front to pick up my check

and I saw this.

And it come to my attention,

I had not done any work in this area today.

And when I went and knock on the door

and it open, I immediately came and found you.

Well, thank you so much for doing that.

We may as well go inside and see what else is missing.

- You're welcome sir. - Thank you so much Francisco,

Mr. Sanchez.

Oh damn!

Hi Ms. Jackson,

- bye Ms. Jackson. - Well okay then.

Uh-uh!

You can't be showing the world my unperfected music.

Oh, so you mean I can't show the world anything then.

Okay, I'll show you what you can show the world.

Watch that go viral.

- Mr. Zachary is so annoying. - I know, he's like

my least favorite teacher.

Right?

He's gonna get it one of these days.

So girls, how's everything going at school?

- School was, school. - One of those days huh?

- Well, any cute... - No mom.

No new cute boys today.

Thank God we only have a few days left before summer,

but, besides, guys are stupid.

Now on that my little loved one we do agree.

But, if you can catch the right one soon enough,

you can turn him into a good man.

Like magic?

Oh, it can be some of the best magic in the world.

That's if you can get it to last

and if you can keep it away from

- Mama! - other people.

Girl, I'm just playing with ya.

Look, I know things around the Orchard

may seem boring to the two of you,

but it's like my mama always said,

"Life is what you make it

"and adventure is where you find it."

And sometimes the best adventure

can be right up underneath your noses.

But, if you're not paying close enough attention,

- you'll miss it. - Really mom?

Girls, let me be the first to tell both of you

that not everything around the Orchard

is as simple as it seems.

- Uh-huh. - No.

- No? - No.

But how can it be a no and you don't even know

what I was gonna say?

When it starts with uh-huh

and you looking out the window over into the Parker's yard,

I already know where this is going

and my answer is no.

The world's greatest adventure

could be right under your nose.

And I could miss it

if I don't keep close enough attention.

I was there, remember?

So you're honestly gonna sit there and tell me

there's nothing strange about the Parker's break-in?

Strange like what?

The timing for one.

Weren't they about to do that whole Airbnb thing?

I think I overheard Ms. Jones talking to my dad

about that and she did not sound too happy.

Well I know that Kenny's parents Owen Drexler converted

their property and Stephanie over on Peach Street,

she said her family and two

of their neighbors all have Airbnbs now too.

What am I looking at?

These are the locations of the Airbnbs in the area.

Notice anything special?

Not really, I mean they all appear

- to be out of the Orchard. - Exactly!

All of them except for this one.

Still think I'm reaching?

I mean maybe, but what if I'm not?

None of this is our business.

People can open an Airbnb if they want.

Oh come on Gabby, where's your sense of adventure?

If not us, then who?

How 'bout the police?

They don't know the Orchard like we do.

I'm not doing this alone.

I mean I could, but I really, really don't want to.

Sometimes I wonder how we ever became friends.

Girl please, it was destiny.

The two greatest minds in the neighborhood.

There's you and then there's me

and then together, poof!

Besides, with that photographic memory of yours,

you wouldn't be able to get this beautiful face out

- of your head. - Yeah, sure.

I give up.

I don't know what I'm gonna do with you.

Hm, you're gonna help me figure out who did this.

Hey girl, I set your alarm clock last night

so we could get an early start this morning.

What?

- Where are you? - Girl, I'm at

your front door.

You should have been there Mr. H, it was so awesome.

I told old big butt Mr. Zachary that my girl was the truth

and probably the smartest student that he will ever

have the privelege of teaching.

- You said that? - Mm-hmm.

Just like that, in front of the entire class.

But wait, wait.

There's more.

The best part was that Mr. Zachary didn't believe

that my girl Gabby has a photographic memory.

So I bet him that with one glance she could

not only re-write the entire test,

but she could get every single answer correct.

If I lose then I get a zero on the next test,

but, if I win, then everybody gets 100% on their papers.

So?

What happened?

Everybody got 100%.

- What? - She said

that everybody got 100%

and I got an additional round of applause

for my forward thinking.

I'm not sure it was a great idea

to embarrass your teacher like that.

Believe me, he did not need my help

to embarrass himself.

But yet you still took the time to help.

No, he asked me if I could remember every question

on his test, I told him yes and he didn't believe me.

So you just had no other choice but to prove him wrong

in front of everyone?

What I think your father is trying to say...

I think I know what my father's trying to say Cynthia.

Whoa, young lady, you do not talk that way

- to your mother. - Yet another instance

where I had no other choice.

But you have a choice right now

to control the words that are coming out of your mouth

or do you need help with that?

It's fine, it's really fine.

Sorry Cynthia, didn't mean it.

Yes you did.

But it's quite all right, these things take time.

Speaking of time, we wanna take this.

- Hey Ms. Kim. - Hey girls.

Roses are looking lovely this year.

Well thank you.

Almost as good as one of those weed plants she got growing

in her backyard.

- What? - Please believe

Ms. Kim is blowing selling mad herb.

Hey Mrs. Perkins.

- Hey Mr. P. - Hi girls.

Looks like fun.

Cute couple, too bad that Mr. P like the D.

No, not Mr. Perkins.

Oh yeah, sorry to burst your bubble,

but papa is a rolling stone.

What's good Mr. Patrick?

Hello ladies, you guys make sure that you're careful

on those bikes, okay?

Yo, that dude got crazy cash.

Doesn't he own a few houses in the area?

Sure does.

Most of them are Airbnbs, but that dude be making money

in his sleep.

- Here we are. - Yeah, what are

we doing here?

I wanna take a look at the police report.

Okay, we coulda done that at home.
