“He must be throwing away dirt!” Kate whispered. “That looks like the entrance to a mine! I read all about mines in the book about Colorado.” Kate liked to study up on places before she went on trips.

“Where’s Regina and Ronan?” Mike asked.

“They must be in the tunnel,” Kate said.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Kate nudged Mike. “Parker is coming back!” she said. “We’ve got to do something before we get caught!” She pointed to a closet opposite the entrance to the tunnel. “Quick, head for the closet!”

Kate and Mike zipped across the room and ducked into their new hiding spot. Luckily, the doors opened into the closet. Mike and Kate could stay out of sight behind them, even if one of Regina’s workers reached for something inside.

A moment later, Parker and the squeaky cart came into the room. He pushed the cart near the pile of dirt and started filling it up again. When it was full, he wheeled the cart down the hall to the dumpster.

As Parker left, Kate glanced around the edge of the half-open closet door at all the tools near the tunnel opening: a pickax, two shovels, an assortment of chisels, a bunch of brushes with black bristles, a plastic bottle of liquid, a tape measure, and a hammer with a pointed tip. Then she looked at the entrance to the tunnel.

“I think I figured out what they’re digging for in there,” Kate said.

“What?” Mike asked.

“Gold!”
