"Dad, what do you mean you used to hunt treasure? And what kinds of things are you talking about when you say I don't know you?"

Arizona Jeff took a deep breath, wondering where to even begin. She was such an innocent girl, the adventure they were about to embark upon was different than anything she had ever experienced. He didn't know how this would affect her. Her mother, Adventure Girl, had made it clear when it came to the children she did not want their heads filled with the vivid imagination and adventures of their father. After all, keeping him in line was hard enough. But this was different, this was a request from a friend, how could he deny that? And to be quite honest, he really didn't think Adventure Girl wanted him to go off adventuring alone did she? So as they sat in the jeep driving down the deserted road, Jeff collected his thoughts as he watched the headlights bring the distant path and his life into focus.

"Long ago I became a collector of rare antiquities. Along with my colleague Oliver P. Phinnius we traveled the world searching for lost and forgotten pins. We were fairly successful in our quests too, until we encountered Henry Mordecai."

Princeless Princess turned to face her father with a stunned and awestruck look and said, "Wait, let me get this straight. You're telling me that you have actually met Henry Mordecai in person? Dad, he isn't a real person. He's an urban legend that kids talk about around a camp fire when they are trying to scare each other."

"Well that urban legend that you refer to nearly blew me into about a million pieces." Jeff replied without emotion.

Princeless Princess sat there watching the lines on the road pass through the headlights in an endless stream. What she was hearing did not make sense. Here was her dad who for the most part was a normal parent obsessed that her room be clean. Now she is told that he used to hunt treasures and battle notorious mythical criminal masterminds in far away lands. This was too much to comprehend. Between the data overload and the hypnotic lull of the road she was quickly overcome with exhaustion and went to sleep. When she awoke, the car was stopped and the sun was high in the sky. She was in the Jeep alone and very disoriented. Her father was standing in the distance but he was not alone. Princeless could not make out the details of the person standing near her father but she was sure she had never seen this person before. Before long, her father was returning and to his side was a red headed woman wearing a trench coat and a teal hat. Both of them seemed determined and confident in their strides. The young girl slid out of the Jeep and stood next to the vehicle as they approached.

"Mean Laureen, I would like to introduce you to my daughter Princeless Princess." Arizona Jeff stated. "Princeless, this is Mean Laureen. She'll be joining us on a little adventure. It seems my friend Olivier P. Phinnius has gone walkabout and we need to find him before Mordecai does."

Princeless could not tell which was more shocking. That her father said that so nonchalantly or the fear that showed in Mean Laureen's eyes. This was obviously not just a daddy daughter vacation. Something much more was under the surface that either of these two was letting on.

Looks like its adventure time and we are going to need some help so come and find out...

Where in the World is Arizona Jeff and Mean Laureen.
