Stunning Discovery, Part 3

It is now 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning, and I am just outside Williamsburg, Pennsylvania. When I was writing my article last evening I received a call from Ms Ernestine informing me that I needed to drop everything, and get myself to Williamsburg, Pa as quickly as I could. Pop Pop, and Harvey were both in big trouble. The entire Espenblog Staff were meeting in a secret location just outside the town. Ms Ernestine told me that she would give me the exact location when I got close.

Allow me to continue where I left off last evening. "Frankie the Mouse" was more than willing to take on this top secret operation when Pop Pop explained that Harvey's life could be in jeopardy. Frankie formulated his plan on his way to Williamsburg. He would listen to every conversation between Betty Jo, and the two rooster's involved. He didn't think that he could make friends with the two because they didn't interact with any other animals or humans. They were always together, and Betty Jo was never far away from either one of them. Frankie would have to keep his ear to the wall, and hope something would be said that could give Pop Pop a lead in the right direction. He would dig until he found what he was looking for. He didn't know what he was looking for, but when he came across it, he would know that's what he was looking for. Did you get all that?

Days went by, but nothing out of the ordinary was said. The three of them never spoke when the other animals were around. No one even paid attention to them as everyone was used to the routine by now. It was business as usual at the Boondocker's. The three would gather in an old shed just down from the barn when they wanted to communicate with each other. Betty Jo kept some hand tools in that shed, so when she went there, they always followed. Inside that shed the three would actually talk to each other, and Frankie said, "Those two rooster's are very well spoken. It seems so odd to hear rooster's speak like that. It's almost as if they have been well educated. These guys are not your ordinary, run of the mill, barnyard roosters."

When Betty Jo would go to town she would take the two along with her. Of course Frankie was tucked away somewhere in the truck listening for that key piece of information. The big break came on Friday night as Betty Jo Boondocker was driving home from town with her two rooster's. The three weren't saying much about anything when Betty Jo asked a question. She asked, "Professor Stovenpooper, what am I going to do about Harvey?" Frankie had to squirm out of his hiding place to take a look for himself. He had to make sure there were only three bodies in that truck, and not four. Nope there were only three. One human, two rooster's. Roscoe told Betty Jo that he liked Harvey, and had no ill will against him for beating him in that big fight. "Just let Harvey do what he came here to do, and everything will be fine,". You just concentrate on getting the recipe right," said Roscoe. Betty Jo said, "With all the publicity surrounding Harvey, someone is sure to figure this out." Not another word was spoken as the three rode home.

Immediately upon their return home, Frankie made a call to Pop Pop. That was the lead that Pop's was looking for. That name Betty Jo called Roscoe, Professor Stovenpooper, had to be the key that would unlock this mystery, and perhaps save Harvey from being distroyed. There was no time to waste.

In a just a few hours of research Pop Pop made a stunning discovery. He was explaining all that he found to me when Frankie called Pop Pop with some hair raising news. Harvey was in big trouble, and Pop Pop had to get there as fast as he could. Frankie emailed us the picture as to what happened to Harvey. Pop Pop took one look at the picture, and ran out of the office. Now Pop Pop, and Harvey are both in big trouble, and we are here at a secret location trying to figure out what to do. There's never a dull moment around here!
