The Case of Buried Treasure Chapter 2

     Here is the second chapter of one of the DTB Cousin books my cousins and I wrote as kids. We wrote at least four of these type of books, taking turns writing about a chapter each before passing it on to the next cousin. You can sometimes tell who is writing based on who has the biggest part in the story in that section:

Chapter II - Looking for Darin

Brad was searching for clues on the floor when he spotted a piece of torn notebook paper. There was some more following it. He called Troy over and they followed the the torn pieces of paper. The paper led to a closet.

Troy pressed his ear against the door and motioned that he didn't hear anything. Brad took a mini billy club out of his pocket and Troy swung open the door.

Brad looked inside but saw nothing. Then Troy went in the closet and looked if there were any more clues or anything. He didn't find anything, but as he was getting out of the closet, his foot snagged part of the rug and pulled it aside.

"Hey, look!" said Brad. "You've uncovered a trapdoor."

Troy was very pleased with himself.

Brad went over and opened it. There was a big long staircase that went down and down. He couldn't see the bottom.

Troy went over and looked. Then Brad said, "Come on, we're going down there and rescue Darin."

They both pulled out their pocket size mini flashlights and started down.
