The three of them gather around the desk, heads knocking into each other as they look at the paper, studying it closely. It was Creed who had found it, underneath a pot in Mrs. Hay's cabin; he knew entering other people's homes was wrong, but she was dead after all. Her heart stopped working the doctor said. It was some sort of map and immediately he knew it was a treasure map. After all Mrs. Hay's always had such fancy stuff for the cove, special treats, fine china to eat off, little trinkets and nice clothes too.
"Where do we start?" Sam Houston asks excited for an adventure, yet had doubt that this paper would disclose a location of hidden jewels. Of the final result he won't care he just enjoyed the rush and thrill, like the mystery books the preacher gave him a few weeks ago. Detective work right here in Cutter Gap!
"By Mrs. Hay's cabin, in the back, see?" Zacharias points to the paper to a squiggle mark showing nothing, but the two nodded.
"Ok let's meet there after school, ok?"
"Yeah and don't tell no one!" Creed adds greed full in his words.
