Matty and his sister Callie spent huge amount of time to find Murdoch. But they couldn’t. What they know about Murdoch is his name and what he looks like. At first they laid for him at where they met but he didn’t show up again. They just hoped to get lucky but they didn’t get any information and time just passed. Matty was about to give up to find him.

But on Matty’s 14^th birth day, his sister Callie came by and said “It’s a birth day present. Take it”. She passed a piece of paper. It was Murdoch’s address. Matty was surprised and asked how she got such information. She replied that she had simply gone to an online phone book, typed “Murdoch” in the first name field and “Massachusetts” in the state field, and then methodically gone through the alphabet for the last name. For Matty, it’s the best present he had ever got. And then, they planned to go meet Murdoch right away because their mother Mrs. Nikki didn’t come back yet and they couldn’t go outside without her permission. But when they tried to take an action, Mrs. Nikki was already at home and came to see them.

She noticed what Matty had in his hand and took it. She took a few second and said “Who’s this guy?” Matty answered “Nobody, you wouldn’t like him anyway”. But she interrupted and said “I know you guys set me up on a date. I was just thinking it was time to find someone new. I’ll pay this Murdoch a visit tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ll be at my most charming. He’ll love me”
