Google for a Park FR-1, or visit your local bike store, they're not very expensive. You might also want to check to make sure the spoke tool you have is the right size, and the chances that the spare spoke you have is the right size isn't very good. FWIW "new bike" usually means just that, not a used bike that is new to you...and if that wheel is shot, then that price is going up...
