Roy found out that the boy's real name was Napolean Bridger.His mother made a comment about it and then Roy headed out. The morningn didn't feel different from any other, except, during breakfast there was a knock at the door. When Roy answered, there was an interviewer, standing right in the doorway. She introduced herself, and started throwing questions at him. Roy went to his father, who handed him the missing folder from City Hall. There was no E.I.S in it, (Environmental Impact Statement) which his father explained.
When Roy came back to the door, he simply handed the interviewer the file and explained it to her. She thanked him, and left.

Chapter 20
By the time Beatrice and Roy showed up, half of Mr. Ryan's history class had already showed up. When they got off the bike, Beatrice's soccer team showed up, holding signs. They were talking amongst each other, when Kimberly Dixon came out dressed as Mother Pauala. She was escorted by a man with a black suit, dark sunglasses, and slick, silver hair and the Mayor of Coconut Cove.
They all walked to a marked off space on the site. The silver-haired man introduced himself as Chuck E. Muckle, and started to speak. During the speech, Roy interupted once, but Mr. Muckle didn't hear him. The second time he interupted, he was louder than expected, and Mr. Muckle heard him.
They started to argue, and everyone else started raising their signs, and chanting. Roy showed the digital camera, with 1 fuzzy picture of an owl. Even though Mr. Muckle didn't believe him, they continued to protest.
As the protest went on, a voice from the ground took everyone's attention. When they looked down, Mullet Fingers was sitting in the ground, with only his head showing. Mr. Muckle ran at him with a shovel, to dig him up. The protesters blocked him. They all locked arms, to keep Mr. Muckle out, and guard the boy. Mother Paula eventually joined in, and linked arms as well. Lonna eventually showed up, acting so proud at her son, and tried to get to him. She couldn't break through the chain of arms, though. A little later, there was a strange noise, and Mullet Fingers laughed. Everyone turned around, and on top of his head, was a Burrowing Owl.

Chapter 19
It was Wednesday, the day for the ground-breaking ceremony. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened, and Officer Delinko was tired. He had taken the last 2 shifts watching the site, and now he was incredibly tired. Just as he was leaving, a large limo pulled up. A tall man with dark sunglasses and silver hair stepped out, and called for Delinko. But, he was so tired he didn't even notice. When he yelled, Delinko finally noticed. The man started to chew out Delinko, but the officer didn't even care, since he was so tired. Finally, he introduced himself as Chuck Muckle, Vice-President of Coporate Relations for the Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House Inc.
He ordered the officer to escort his guest, who was still in the limo. As Kimberly Lou Dixon came out of the limo, she asked where she could change. She had a husky voice, which seemed strange. Delinko directed her to the trailer, just as Curly came out in a tuxedo. He moved aside for the actress, and she went in to change. When she came out, she looked just like the Mother Paula from the commercials.

Chapter 18
The next morning Roy came down for breakfast. While eating, he noticed an article on the back of the newspaper. It was an add for the Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House Groundbreaking Ceremony. Roy was enraged. How could they just bury those poor owls? He remembered that he had a current events class with Mr. Ryan today, so he asked if he could borrow the newspaper and his mother's new digital camera, and headed out to Beatrice's house. Roy had a plan.
When he arrived there, he was afraid to answer the door, to think that Lonna might answer. But, luckily, it was Beatrice who answered. Roy quickly showed her the article, but she brushed it off at first. When they got on the bus, Beatrice started talking with her team mates about the last game. After which, she wanted to see the article again.
When Ry got to school, he was immediately summoned into the Vice-Principal's office. The Vice-Principal had heard about Mullet Fingers. She kept asking him about the boy and telling him it was illegal not to go to school. Roy finally convinced her just enough that he didn't know who he was, where he is, or what he does, to let him go.
At lunch, Roy borrowed a kid named Garret's bike and headed out to the Junkyard to find Mullet Fingers. He went into the Jo-Jo's Ice-Cream truck, and showed the boy the article. In addition he gave him the digital camera, and told him to take some pictures of the owls. He also offered to help, but Mullet Fingers pushed this idea aside and threw him out of the truck.
When Roy got back to school, it was Current Events period. When it was his turn, he went up, talked about the article, the owls, and permits. The other kids were amazed, since the new kid never talked so much. At the end of it, the class fell silent, and the sound of it was hurting Roy's ears.

Chapter 17
Curly was waiting to hear Mr. Muckles' voice. He was expecting a congratulations, since he told the story of how he captured the vandal for the site. Of course, it wasn't what really happened, Curly decided to tell his version of the story instead. Mr. Muckle wasn't really impressed, as relieved that there would be no more delays. But, even thought Curly did help catch the vandal, he still warned him that if there were any more delays, he would be fired.
Officer Delinko was sitting in the Captain's office once again, just for a different reason; and a better reason. Delinko was getting a commendation instead of a talk. The Captain also took Delinko off desk duty, and put him back on the street. Before they left his office, he also told him that he was on a surveillance team for watching the Mother Paula's site.
Roy had read on the internet that Burrowing Owls preferred insects to meat. So, Roy went to a store and bought some crickets for the Owls. He got on his bike and rode to the Mother Paula's site. He got right next to the fence, and opened the box. Just then, a truck came up behind him and the angry, bald foreman came out of the truck yelling and screaming. Roy quickly got on his bike and rode away. He imagined he was in Montana, riding up the mountains, and peddling as fast as he could. Going up, and then down the mountains.

Chapter 16
When curly returned home that night, he entertained his wife and her mother with the story of the previous night's events. He over-exaggerated his role in it, and reduced Officer Delinko's role, causing applause from both women.
The next morning, though, was more disappointing. He realized that he had lost his gun in the scuffle. A lost, loaded gun is very bad, so he searched the entire lot for it. He didn't find it. He began to search the bushes, carrying a heavy rock just in case he came upon one of the water moccasins. He still didn't find it. Finally, when he went next to the bulldozers, he noticed that the seats were missing. And, even worse, when he checked the porta-potties, he found his gun, submerged in the dark blue liquid. It was going to be a long day for him.
It was a nice Sunday morning, and today Roy's father promised that he would take him to see the Everglades. His mother brought her new digital camera to take pictures. When they got there, they rented a fan boat. They went skimming across the water at 30 mph. The driver would frequently stop for pictures. Although it was incredibly hot, the wind from the boat ride kept him cool.
When they got home, Roy immediately took a shower and ate. And he was so tired, that right after, he just went straight to bed. After a little bit, though, he heard something. Something saying his name. He got so scared he was shivering under the covers. When he looked over the bed, he saw Beatrice. He nearly screamed. When she explained what she was doing there, Roy was sympathetic. So, he let her sleep over.

Chapter 15
When Roy got home, he went upstairs and changed. Mullet Fingers had invited him to the Mother Paula's site that night. He thought up a plan for him and Mullet Fingers to do whatever they had planned, and not get caught. But, first Roy had to go to Dana Matherson's house.
When Roy arrived there, he looked through the windows until he found Dana. When he did, he knocked on it, ran back a little ways, and mooned him. Dana's draw nearly hit the floor, but it wasn't long until he came outside. He chased after Roy, even though Roy was faster. Roy gradually slowed down, to make it seem like he was getting tired. Dana grabbed him by the throat, and fell on him. When Roy surrendered, he made up a story about how if Dana didn't kill him, he would tell him where some cigarettes are. Dana agreed. Roy told him on the corner of East Oriole and Woodburry,(Mother Paula's site) there are Gladiator Golds in the trailer. Dana believed him, and set out.
Curly was still watching the property, since the dogs didn't work out. He was all set for the night, Blockbuster movies, tuna sandwich, and a .38 Revolver in case anyone tried to trespass or vandalize the property again. Half-way through the movie, he heard a noise. It sounded like grunts followed by a "SNAP", which must have been the mousetraps. When the voice got closer to the door, he kicked the door out, causing Dana to fall down the stairs. Curly put up his magnum, but Dana put up a fight. Dana started to run, but didn't get far before Officer Delinko spotted him on his route home. He through Dana in the back of his car, and Curly came along to file the report.
