With Andy on the case, Mark Trail cannot fail. (Hey, that rhymes. Neat!) Using the precision instrument that is the nose of a St. Bernard, Mark steps back to let Andy take over. (I just hope that both of them remembered to wear their bullet proof vests in case they run into any more trouble.) Meanwhile, Elmer continues to wander aimlessly through the forest. At least, I'm pretty sure that he's been wandering, but who knows. The proximity of panel two to panel three kind of makes me think that he's only a few feet away from where Andy is looking around, meaning that this mystery is about to be solved so that he can go back to whatever it is that he was doing before being called to Mark's side. Of course, there is an equally likely possibility that Elmer shrank himself and is actually on the other side of the rock that Andy is currently sniffing around. (I'm not saying that Mark or anyone else has a shrink ray, but I'm not saying they don't either.)
Apparently, there's no shrink ray (but there could be and Andy could have just missed Elmer because he's so small). It is also apparent that the smell of a burning car with all of the rubber, oil, and whatnot blends seamlessly with the smells of nature so that you don't realize what you're smelling until you stumble upon it. (Somehow I don't believe that, but maybe there's a very stiff wind blowing the smell away.) With the discovery of the car, another piece of the puzzle falls into place. Now Mark knows the shooter is still in the forest, which means that he has to keep looking and that this search for a shooter could also turn into a rescue mission (and some sort of fist fight, of course).
