00:00Hello, I'm Jessica Harlanborough, and I belong to a family of great detectives.
00:06My father was James Harlanborough, whose father was Hardy Harlanborough Jackson, Jr.,
00:12whose mother was Janet Harlanborough, who was the first one in our family to hold the badge and wear the uniform.
00:19The legend goes that she once defeated a whole family of bandits on her own with nothing but an empty revolver.
00:26And since then, she has inspired my father, my father's father, and me to grow and become the seekers of justice.
00:35And soon, the day arrived when I got to use my true skills.
00:40One day, on my way back from the bathroom, I saw James Heartthrob in the hallway,
00:45the guy my friend Lily Larkins had a huge crush on.
00:49He walked secretly to his locker with a suspicious brown package in his hands,
00:54which he placed inside after making sure no one was around him.
00:57After that, he walked away.
00:59But as a responsible citizen and the head of the Student Welfare Association,
01:03I followed him to a corner as he made a phone call.
01:06And I heard every word.
01:09I secured the package. Good job!
01:11We will execute our plan tomorrow at noon.
01:14If everything goes well, we'll not only succeed in our goals,
01:17but we'll also leave enough money to be comfortable for the rest of our lives.
01:23As soon as he ended the call, he looked sideways again.
01:26I made sure I was hidden from view.
01:28Then, I noticed him take out a pair of glasses with a golden frame from his pocket.
01:33He clicked on them, and a holographic display of a building appeared in front of him.
01:38It looked super familiar, but I couldn't quite place where I'd seen that building before.
01:43What was he planning to do there?
01:45After staring intently at it for some seconds, James put the glasses back into his pocket and walked away quickly.
01:51As I was still processing everything, Lily suddenly popped up from behind me.
01:56Hey, Jessica! What are you doing?
01:58Come on, we need to go!
02:00Football match is about to start, and James Heartthrob is leading the team.
02:04I can't tell you how excited I am to see him play.
02:07Uh, yeah, I'm doing nothing. Let's go to the game!
02:11While I walked to the field with her, I kept thinking about that package.
02:15After a recent security scare, all students' bags were checked at the gate,
02:19and it would be difficult to bring in a package wrapped up like that.
02:23And who was James talking to?
02:26I was sure in my bones that something big and evil was about to go down, and I had to stop it.
02:32Halfway through the game, while Lily was busy cheering for James Heartthrob,
02:36I snuck out of there and made my way to James' locker.
02:39Having noticed the password earlier, I unlocked it, and the package was there.
02:43But to my disappointment, it was empty.
02:46But the brown paper wrapping outside had information about where it had come from.
02:51Taking out the pen from my pocket, I noticed the address and the name of the sender.
02:55Just then, I heard some footsteps approaching, and I ran across the corridor and hid behind one of the classroom doors.
03:02It was James Heartthrob again.
03:04He took his phone out of his backpack and went back to the same corner as before.
03:09Hey, listen, we'll have to postpone our undertaking from tomorrow to the day after.
03:14I have a date with Lily Larkins.
03:16She is so into me.
03:18I can't miss this.
03:20Our plan is ironclad and will still work no matter which date we carry it out.
03:25I'm sorry for this, but she's really hot.
03:28Now I had another problem to deal with.
03:31My best friend from childhood was about to fall prey to a possible criminal.
03:35I couldn't let that happen.
03:37And apparently, now his evil plan had been postponed by a day.
03:41But to stop him and save my friend, I needed to find out more information, and I could use some help.
03:47Later that night, I asked Lily to come over to my place with a phone book so I could try looking for the address and name I'd noted earlier.
03:54Of course, I told her we were just making prank calls.
03:58She wouldn't believe me if I told her all my suspicions just yet.
04:01We sat at my study table with the telephone near me.
04:04Lily kept telling me the cell phone numbers, and I kept pranking them in a manly voice.
04:09Hello? Yes. Is this Jack Trades? I'm Heartthrob. James Heartthrob.
04:14Oh my god, why are you using his name? That's so funny.
04:20Most of the calls just led to dead ends, but when I made the final call...
04:24Hey, James! What happened to your voice, man? You getting sick or something?
04:28No, no. Just, uh, some allergies.
04:31I'm still your man. A man with a plan.
04:34You know, that evil plan we were gonna pull off the day after tomorrow?
04:38Yeah, but what's so evil about it? Are you sure you're fine?
04:42Or have you lost your mind already because of that girl you were going on about?
04:46How hot is she?
04:47You stay away from her!
04:49Um, I mean, no, no, just nothing. See you day after tomorrow, man. Peace out.
04:55I hung up the phone to find Lily staring at my face.
04:59What the heck are you going on about?
05:01Nothing that makes sense. That's why it's a prank, silly.
05:05I bet this guy's as confused as you are.
05:08And we'll be thinking about it all night. Ha ha ha!
05:12Okay... Anyway, I don't care.
05:15Because the only thing I can think about is my date with James Hartthrob tomorrow.
05:20How will I wait until then? Oh my god, it's killing me!
05:24Yeah, you've only mentioned it about ten times already.
05:27But are you sure about this?
05:29I mean, you barely know the guy.
05:31That's the point of the date? We get to know each other?
05:34Yeah, but is it worth the effort?
05:37James Hartthrob is very good looking.
05:39But guys like that are usually quite dumb.
05:42Do you think he'll be emotionally and mentally mature?
05:45It's too big a step.
05:47What are you going on about?
05:49How is a date a really big step?
05:51You know I've been in love with him since the first day he walked into our school.
05:55With his backpack and cool jacket.
05:57What love? Don't you think you're going a bit fast there, young lady?
06:01You can't talk to me like this.
06:03You're not my mother.
06:04Don't you dare talk back to me.
06:06I don't have to sit here and listen to you.
06:08I'm going home.
06:09Fine, go away.
06:11And then she picked up her phone book and stormed out of there slamming the door shut.
06:15Ugh, teenagers.
06:17I probably wasn't gonna learn much about his evil plan by crashing their date.
06:22But I just didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone with Lily.
06:25So the next evening, I went to the restaurant where they were supposed to meet
06:29and entered through the back exit into the kitchen.
06:31I found a storage room with extra uniforms and quickly changed into a waitress's outfit.
06:37Then I discreetly walked out into the restaurant area, scanning the room like a hawk till I spotted my targets.
06:44I was skilled at disguises.
06:46I was sure they wouldn't recognize me.
06:48I was walking over to them when suddenly some customers at a table stopped me.
06:53Uh, hey, miss.
06:54We've been waiting for someone to take our order for a while.
06:57Um, sure.
06:59I'll just send someone right away.
07:01Why can't you take it?
07:03You're not doing anything.
07:04I gritted my teeth, forced a smile, and whipped out my pad and pencil.
07:09Can you tell us today's specials?
07:11Uh, look, I have short-term memory loss.
07:15I can't remember any of this stuff.
07:17Just, uh, select something from the menu.
07:19How are you even a waitress?
07:21Ugh, fine.
07:22Uh, how about this side salad?
07:25Is it good?
07:26It's amazing.
07:27Great choice.
07:28What's it served on the side of?
07:30I guess on the side of your plate.
07:32Are we done here?
07:33My family hasn't even ordered yet.
07:35Get us another waitress.
07:37You're useless.
07:38I told you that five minutes ago.
07:41I walked off and went back to my mission, annoyed that I'd lost precious time.
07:45As I got close to Lily and that heartthrob, I pretended to be working.
07:49When I felt someone tug at my skirt, it was the annoying customer's kid.
07:54You didn't take my order.
07:56Not now, kid.
07:57Go away.
07:58I'm hungry, you witch.
07:59I want a piece of chocolate cake.
08:01Just buzz off, will ya?
08:03I pulled my skirt away from him, and he suddenly dropped onto the floor and started bawling loudly.
08:09She pushed me.
08:10She pushed me so hard.
08:13Oh my god, you little liar.
08:15Jessica?
08:16The entire restaurant was suddenly staring at me.
08:20And I got thrown out within seconds by the management.
08:23Lily and James followed me outside.
08:25Uh, what the heck just happened back there?
08:28Why are you dressed as a waitress?
08:30Because I work here.
08:32Or I did before I got fired.
08:34Since when do you work here, and why?
08:37Since today, it was my first day.
08:39And my last day.
08:40And why?
08:41Cause I have bills to pay.
08:42I'm sorry to hear that.
08:44Here, take this tip.
08:45I hope it helps a bit.
08:47And then, he handed me a hundred dollars.
08:50Just like that.
08:51I hadn't even waited on him.
08:52I guess he had plenty of money from all his evil ventures.
08:56And now that I was face to face with him,
08:58Maybe I could make him give away something about his plans.
09:02Wow, that's very generous.
09:05You must be rich.
09:07And I guess you'll be very rich soon if your trades go well, eh?
09:13You know what I mean?
09:14Huh?
09:15Uh, I really don't.
09:17Oh, come on.
09:18Are you really saying you're a jack of all trades and a master of none?
09:23What does that even mean?
09:25Wait a sec.
09:26Are you talking about jack trades?
09:28Do you know him?
09:29Are you a friend or a girlfriend?
09:31Uh, no.
09:32No.
09:33I don't know any jack trades.
09:35I just remembered.
09:36I have a movie to catch in 15 minutes.
09:38I'll see you tomorrow, Lily.
09:39And with that, I ran off.
09:41Wow, this guy was cunning.
09:43Instead of giving anything away, he'd started questioning me instead.
09:47As I was walking down the street, I passed by a building and then suddenly stopped in my tracks.
09:52I slowly walked back to face the building from the front, and then it hit me.
09:57Texas State Bank.
09:59That was the building that had been in the hologram.
10:02And then it all clicked into place.
10:04James Heartthrob was planning to rob Texas State Bank with Jack Trades as an accomplice.
10:10Of course that would make them super rich.
10:13But I was gonna get them.
10:15Oh, I was gonna get them good.
10:17The next day, I was at the bank five minutes before noon.
10:21But I walked in to find James and Jack already there at the bank manager's desk.
10:26They seemed to be having some intense conversation.
10:29What if those two were holding the manager hostage at gunpoint?
10:32Or he could even be an accomplice.
10:35Just then, James Heartthrob got up from his seat and reached into his pocket.
10:39And I couldn't wait anymore.
10:41I rushed towards them and threw myself at James, tackling him to the ground.
10:45Ow!
10:46What do you think you're-
10:47Shut up, James!
10:49Just then, I spotted another accomplice carrying a gun.
10:52And I tackled him too.
10:54His gun went skidding across the floor as I sat on him and tied his hands behind his back,
10:59while the receptionist called the police.
11:01I thought James and Jack would try to make a run for it, but they were just standing there, looking shocked.
11:07So, James Heartthrob and Jack Trades, I believe you can now tell us all your evil plan.
11:13What evil plan?
11:15Your plan to rob the bank?
11:17What else?
11:18You got the package from this Jack Trades, giving you the holographic projection of this bank, giving you all the escape points.
11:24You two were banking on getting very rich, weren't you? Banking. I made a clever pun.
11:30Anyway, were you holding the manager hostage, or is he in on it too?
11:34What?
11:35Jessica, you've got it all wrong. That device is our creation, and we were going to ask this bank official to give us a loan to fund it.
11:44The device was for demonstration.
11:46Uh, what? That's it?
11:48Yep.
11:49That's when I realized that the guy under my foot was, in fact, a real robber.
11:53And James Heartthrob was not guilty.
11:56But to save me from further embarrassment, the cops came in and took that guy into custody and gave me a badge of honor.
12:03And the next day, my photo was in the newspaper as well, with the headline, School Girl Solves Her First Case.
12:10So, it all worked out for the best.
12:12Next day, I went to school and saw James Heartthrob closing his locker.
12:16I walked up to him.
12:18Hey James, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-
12:21Accuse me of a crime?
12:22I don't know what I was thinking.
12:24He was looking at me with an amused face.
12:27You seem to have a wild imagination, and you're super nosy.
12:31But tackling a guy with a gun was pretty brave, actually.
12:35You're interesting, Jessica Harlanborough.
12:38And you're forgiven.
12:39Well, thank you.
12:40That ended the conversation.
12:42Did you see any sparks here between us?
12:44James swears he felt some at that point, but I really didn't.
12:48Also, it turned out that James and Lily didn't enjoy their first date and decided not to go ahead with the relationship.
12:54We all graduated high school, and some years later, I became a detective.
12:59No surprises there.
13:00Also, I reconnected with James Heartthrob.
13:03We dated for a while, and then we got married.
13:05As for Lily, she was our maid of honor.
13:08And yeah, some things went wrong at the wedding, and I accused her of sabotaging my big day out of jealousy.
13:15But it turns out she had nothing to do with it.
13:18Yeah, that was awkward.
13:20But our friendship is still strong.
13:22Ironclad.
13:23Unbreakable.
13:24Unbreakable.
13:25Unscratchable.
13:26If you will.
13:28Uh.
13:29Uh.
13:30Uh.
13:31Uh.
13:33That's okay.
13:36That's cruel.
13:37No one, I'm like.
13:38It's like you and guys.
13:40The girl.
13:41Yeah, it's funny.
13:44You may fall and death.
13:46Look at her gorgeous.
13:48The girl.
13:49Now, she's back in the moviem í´ďż˝ zone.
13:51If she will.
13:52Can't steal from her.
13:54Yeah.
