Her special qualities were a mystery to most, but he knew them inside out.
“Sir, should we show some gratitude to Mr. Burke?”
“It’s probably best to steer clear of him right now.”
Gordon said, “If they’re hoping to cash in on our efforts, let’s give them what they want and find the treasure’s hiding spot for them.”
“Won’t that just throw Devonport into a bigger mess?”
“Devonport’s already in chaos.”
Gordon frowned, “I intend to stir the pot a bit more in this uproar.”
As night settled in, Sophie and the crew returned to Burke Estate.
Rick greeted them warmly, “Ms. Sophie, Colby.”
“Rick, what’ve you been up to?”
Jenna approached, noticing Rick juggling a bunch of old, dusty scrolls.
Rick chuckled, “Oh, these? They’re old maps of the town, from decades ago. The boss said they needed some airing out to lose that musty smell, so I thought I’d lay them out in the sun tomorrow morning.”
“Maps of the old town?” Angelo perked up, “I’d love to take a look!”
“Seriously, bro? You want to see everything, even if it’s covered in dust!”
“Just a peek! These old things can be worth a fortune!”
Seeing Angelo’s eagerness, Rick obliged, “Alright, I’ll spread them out. Feel free to check them out, but watch out for the dust.”
“Awesome, let’s see!”
Angelo admired the scrolls like they were hidden gems.
“They say the Aldridge family’s got loads of treasures, and now I’ve finally seen it with my own eyes.”
