Chapter 8
Dan's POV
I looked down at the piece of paper with Meg's number. It said 362-245-8736. I knew that I would remember it, I've only been staring at it for the past fifteen minutes. I crumpled it up and through it into trashcan they kept in the lobby.
We got into our hotel room and started reading the book we found. I flipped to a random page and read, "Hercules had a lot of advantages. If he hadn't had these, he might never had succeeded. His advantages include his strength, fame, his sword-"
I flipped to the back of the page. In black ink, the whole next page was bleached out.
Amy whispered, "Madrigals?"
"They can't stop us, we have a Greekologist on our team."
She gave me a look, "Maybe….. What was her number again?"
I told her, and she typed it in.
"Meg's number spells out 'Greek myths.'" Amy laughed.
"Hello?" a British voice answered the phone.
"Hi. It's Amy."
"What can I do for you?"
"Well you see, my brother and I are in a very competitive scavenger hunt, if that's what you want to call it. One of the things we need to get happens to be in Greece."
"Oh, I just love global scavenger hunts! So much better than the ones were you hide everything in your back yard…."
"You've been in one before?"
"Of course! Because of my parents' business, my brother and I get to travel all around the world with them, but we live in Greece. In another year or so we will be of to see China. But it's just so much fun! And I always win against my brother! We went to Japan once were I learned Kung fu. Alex really picked it up, I'm not as good as him-"
"Sorry, but we are kind of on a tight schedule and need you to come over here."
"Sure! I'll be there in a sec!"
I closed my phone. Just then the I heard three raps on the door. "Wow, when Meg said a sec, she wasn't lying." Dan said.I opened it, but it wasn't Meg who was at the door.
