CHAPTER 9

Messages

By the time Ben got home, he’d managed to put Jill out of his mind, at least temporarily. He was back in the Keepers hunt, and he wanted to get a close look at the little seal that had fallen off the codicil.

His mom hadn’t arrived home yet, so he trotted all the way up to his attic room, dug his social studies book out of his bag, and thumbed through the pages until he found the seal.

He set it on his desk and clicked on his bright study lamp.

Ink, lots of it. Splotches and marks and blots all over the place. But he was pretty sure there was writing, too. He took a small magnifying glass from his desk drawer—yes, definitely writing, but the magnifier wasn’t strong enough. Time to go high-tech.

He got out his camera, took a close-up picture, then plugged it into his laptop and imported the image onto the screen.

Still tiny, still just a bunch of inky scratches.

So he enlarged the image on the screen—200 percent . . . 300 percent . . . and at 400 percent larger, he could read something.
