The Green Ring Conspiracy

Katrina finds Buck hiding in a carnival trailer and begs him to leave with her, but before he can decide, Skint returns and has her bound and gagged. At the library, Matthew and Emily uncover the truth: counterfeit money follows Archie's carnival from town to town, and Penny's beloved teacher Trask - once an engraver for the U.S. Mint - is the mastermind printing it. Penny refuses to believe it and marches Connie and Wooton straight to the Ross compound to confront him. Instead, all three are locked in an underground bunker stuffed with millions in fake bills, where Trask calmly admits everything. Penny tells him his beautiful words about God mean nothing if he won't live by them... but he only shrugs and orders the prisoners moved with the cash. As eight trucks scatter past police roadblocks, Whit realizes the money was never on board - and Trask hints that his escape won't use the roads at all.

The story

Read the full synopsis 2 min

Connie and Penny hike through the rugged hills near Trickle Lake, where Penny and Trask have often brought members of his group to meditate. At the carnival auction, Whit and Polehaus watch the bidders divide the equipment unusually evenly among themselves. Polehaus prepares roadblocks for the departing trucks, while Monty learns that Dirk has awakened and slips from his own hospital room to question him.

Katrina finds Buck hidden in a carnival trailer after waiting for Skint to leave. She offers to take him away and show him that life is about more than survival: he can choose goodness and choose God. Buck cannot bring himself to go with her. When Skint unexpectedly returns for his keys, he discovers Katrina and orders her bound and gagged inside the trailer.

Monty confronts Dirk with the mysterious numbers found in the backpack and on the Appleberry. Dirk refuses to explain without a deal, so Monty warns that the Stiletto is in Odyssey and may soon reach him. Hospital staff send Monty back to his room, but Dirk is left frightened enough to reconsider.

At the library, Matthew and Emily discover a pattern stretching across many years. Counterfeit bills have appeared in Odyssey whenever Archie's carnival visits, followed by similar outbreaks in the next cities on its route. They also find an old photograph showing Archie and Benjamin Trask founding Consolidated Arts together. An earlier article reveals that Trask once worked as an expert printer and engraver for the United States Mint. Whit realizes that Trask has the knowledge to manufacture the money and, through his partnership with Archie, access to the Ross compound.

Connie learns by telephone that Trask is believed to be the Green Ring's local mastermind. She quietly urges Penny to return to town, but Wooton surprises them along the trail with the picnic he planned. When Penny demands an explanation, Connie tells her the truth. Penny cannot believe the accusation and insists on confronting Trask herself. She leads Connie and Wooton by a shortcut onto the Ross property.

At the compound, Penny recognizes the clean-shaven Skint as the man who commissioned the carnival poster. Skint has all three visitors locked in the underground bunker, where they discover millions of counterfeit dollars packed into boxes. Trask arrives and calmly admits his involvement. Penny tells him that all his beautiful teaching about God means nothing when he refuses to live by it. Trask dismisses goodness and evil as states of mind and says the prisoners will be moved with the cash.

The auction ends, and eight trucks speed away in different directions rather than obeying the police roadblocks. Yet Whit and Polehaus never saw the counterfeit money loaded aboard. At the compound, Skint's crew transfers both the cash and the three prisoners out of the bunker. Trask hints that their escape will not use the roads at all.
