Meanwhile, Brad, Cassidy, and Jake were investigating the auditorium. They all walked up to the stage and climbed up onto it. Cassidy then cast her light down and found some red goo on the scene. Cassidy said, "Look at this." Cassidy rubbed her fingers on the goo and looked closer at it while it was on her hand. Brad said, "What is that?" Cassidy said, "Some red goo. Only it's not green goo; I don't know what kind of red stuff it is." Brad said, "Maybe it's blood." Cassidy said, "I don't think so. It's not dripping down on my hand. Let's get a sample; maybe it's a clue." Cassidy took a spoon, scooped up some of the goo, and put it in a bag. Cassidy said, "Let's see if there are more clues."
Once Cassidy got off the stage, she tripped, and her glasses fell off her face. Cassidy said, "My glasses. I lost my glasses." Cassidy started to crawl around the floor and look for her glasses. Brad found them for her and then put them back on her face. Cassidy said, "Thanks, Brad." Brad said, "You're welcome." Then Cassidy got up, and they continued to look for clues. Cassidy then saw glowing footprints leading backstage. Cassidy said, "Hey guys, look, glowing footprints." Brad and Jake looked for themselves but didn't see anything. Brad said, "I don't see anything." Cassidy said, "You don't? Then follow me." Brad, Cassidy, and Jake followed the footprints backstage and through the costume racks. Brad said, "Cassidy, are you sure you know where you're going?" Cassidy said, "Positive. The footprints are leading us in this direction." Brad said, "I don't see any footprints." Cassidy said, "I do." Cassidy pointed straight forward and said, "And they're going in this direction. Follow me." Brad and Jake looked at each other and then followed Cassidy. While they were in the racks, they were being followed by a hooded figure wearing a dark cape. Then, the hooded figure took an axe from the props and snuck up behind Brad with it. While they were walking, Brad had a strange feeling they were being followed, so he looked behind him and saw the hooded figure with the axe. Then he jumped out of the way while the hooded figure tried to kill him with the axe. Then Brad, Cassidy, and Jake all ran for their lives, screaming while the hooded figure chased after them. When Shirley and Ricky heard them screaming, they hurried to their rescue. Shirley said, "Let's go."
Brad, Cassidy, and Jake ran through the costume racks and hid separately. When the hooded figure got to where they were hiding, he looked around but couldn't find them. Then Shirley and Ricky ran in, saw the mysterious figure, and ran up to him. Shirley said, "Hey, tall, dark, and spooky." The hooded figure saw Shirley twirling a golf club, and then she held it up to him. Shirley said, "Bring it on." The hooded figure swung his axe at Shirley, but Shirley hit his axe with her golf club. Then Shirley shoved the hooded figure away, and he fell to the floor. After he fell, the hooded figure jumped back up on his feet and swung his axe at Shirley, but Shirley leaned to the left, and he missed. The hooded figure tried again, but Shirley scooted to the right, and he missed. The hooded figure tried again, but Shirley leaned back, and he missed again. The hooded figure tried hitting Shirley again, but she jumped out of the way, and he slammed his axe into the floor. Shirley said. "You're going to have to do better than that." The hooded figure used his axe to chop Shirley's golf club in half, and Shirley held one half in each of her hands. Then the hooded figure sliced both halves of Shirley's golf in half with his axe and de-armed her. Shirley saw The Clue Crackers leaving, dropped her destroyed golf club, and jumped over the mysterious figure's head. Shirley said, "Later." Shirley went through the same door The Clue Crackers did, and they all ran out of the school.
The next day, Shirley and The Clue Crackers returned to the school and saw the place looking creepy. Ricky said, "Wow, goodbye New Orleans, hello Creep Orleans." Shirley said, "We got to do something. But what?" Brad said, "How about we look in the school and see if we can find any suspects?" Shirley said, "How? We can't be seen on school grounds unless we're students or faculty." Brad said, "Exactly. So, we go undercover as faculty and search for anything suspicious." Brad said, "I'll go undercover as a gym teacher and search the locker rooms. Shirley, you go as a lunch lady and see if you can dig up anything in the kitchen." Shirley nodded her head yes. Brad said, "Cassidy, instead of doing undercover work, you and Jake should go to the science lab and try to find out what the red residue we found on the stage is." Cassidy nodded her head yes. Brad said, "Ricky, you're a janitor, and try to find anyone suspicious or weird in the closets." Ricky nodded his head yes. Brad said, "OK, are we all clear?" The Clue Crackers all said, "Yes." Brad said, "Good, let's get suited and work on this case."
Brad was investigating the locker rooms dressed as a gym teacher. While exploring, another gym teacher walked by him and asked him who he was. Brad said, "Oh, I'm Brad. I'm just starting here." The other gym teacher said, "I'm Ron. And since you're just starting here, I must ask you to wear this beginner's pin." Ron showed the pin to Brad. Then Brad took it and put it on his shirt. Brad said. "I don't see your pin." Ron said, "Because I'm not a beginner. I wore one before, but now I have this whistle and this pager." Ron showed Brad his whistle and pager and thought there was something fishy about the pager. Brad said, "OK. Well, I'll be going now." Ron said, "Yes, you will be."
