CHAPTER 33
âWhere you folks from?â asked the gangly guy behind the cash register as he rang up our ice cream cones.
(I got soft serve vanilla dipped in chocolate. Delish.)
âOh, all over,â replied Uncle Richie, very grandly. âFor you see, good sir, we are treasure hunters!â
âIs that so?â
âIndeed, it is.â
âFind anything interesting lately?â
âUh, yeah,â said Tommy. âYou ever heard of the Lost Ship of the Desert?â
âThere was a ship?â said the cashier. âIn the desert?â
âIt was lost,â said Beck.
âBut then,â said Tommy, âwe found, like, this treasure map, andâboom!âthere it was, buried in the sand.â
âYou folks down here looking for Mosbyâs treasure?â
âMaybe,â said Beck. âWe usually donât talk about our quests until theyâre complete.â
âOh, dear,â said Uncle Richie. âMy great-niece is correct. Good sir? Kindly disregard anything I said about treasure or the hunting of it.â
âNo problem. But, if you folks are fans of the Mosby legends, check out our walls. Weâve got all sorts of memorabilia hanging on them. Including a few pages from Colonel Mosbyâs private journal.â
âBully!â said Uncle Richie.
âDo you also have a basement?â I asked.
âNo,â said the cashier. âAnd the next time you see Ms. Rhodes over at the library, kindly ask her to stop telling people that we do! Next!â
We moved into the dining room so the cashier could ring up other customers.
âHere is his handwritten journal,â said Storm, pointing to a frame displaying two scraps of antique parchment.
âCool,â I said. âIf only heâd written down instructions about where he hid his loot.â
Storm leaned in and peered at the two pages. One was completely covered in inky scribblings. The other page was half empty.
