    The guys split up. Adam walks into Ders’ room and scans theroom with his hands ready to grab anything in sight.

    ADAMIf I were Ders, I would put all ofmy secrets...on my dresser becauseI’m so professional!

    Adam gets on his back with his chest facing the bottom ofthe desk as if he were repairing a car. Blake and Karl stopand watch Adam.

    ADAMIt sounds like he’s trying to writefor Buzzfeed. (chuckles) Did anyonecheck the roof yet?

    Adam begins walking away.

    KARLI’m pretty sure it’s just pictures.

    BLAKENope! I read the articles, and sodoes Ders! That was the first thingI learned we had in common.

    ADAM

    The thought of reading when giventhat magazine is making my headhurt. Doesn’t matter because,you’re wrong.

    BLAKEWhat makes you so sure of yourself?Anyone can be a 4th grade socialstudies teacher.

    ADAMHow dare you say that. Ms.Lowenstein was not like anyone elseI know in the entire world.

    BLAKEKarl, is Ders a social studiesteacher, or a writer for playboy?

    KARLHe could be both.

    Adam and Blake brush off the comment and resume looking forclues.

    BLAKEKarl, that’s brilliant.

    ADAMWe’re off to a good start. Let’skeep looking for clues, boys.

    Karl scans the desk and picks up a thin strip of paper. Thestrip of paper reading, "Contact Information: 623-972-1403"blends into a bunch of random symbols as Karl tries to readit.

    KARLGuys, I think I found something.It’s some kind of code.

    Adam grabs the strip from Karl.

    ADAMOh this is good. We need to callthis number. I bet he’s alreadytutoring some munchinks.

    Blake rips it from Adam’s hand.

    BLAKEThis could be Hugh Hefner.

    ADAMNo way, Hefner’s number wouldn’t beon a thin slit of paper.

    BLAKEYou’re right, I bet it’d beengraved inside one of thosedesigner fleshlights.

    KARLI’d kill for one of those.
