The Case of Buried Treasure Chapter 6

     As you can see, I left the spelling and grammar mistakes in the text. Whoever wrote this chapter moved from past tense, to present tense, and back to past. Also, this "chapter" could have easily been fleshed out quite a bit more, adding more suspense. Still, we were only ten, and were probably hurrying so that we could finish the book sooner. What was the rush? I guess we figured that the sooner we finished, the sooner we could publish it and make a lot of money without digging it up in some abandoned mansion frequented by crooks.

Chapter VI - The Search for Treasure

They woke up early in the morning. They had decided to go over to the mansion and in the tunnels again to look for the treasure. They ate a quick breakfast and took some more equiptment with them this time - like shovels and ropes.
When they arrived at the mansion, they cautiously made their way to the closet. They slipped through the trapdoor and down the stairs. Troy said, "That passage is the one."
Just than they hear voices down the corridor. The DTB Cousins quickly dodge into the passageway and start sneaking down it.
Brad, who was in the lead, dislodged a rock by accident. The rock made a thud and the crooks, who were nearby, came to see what made the noise.
The DTB Cousins scrambled on, but were caught. The DTB Cousins were tied up to stalagmights in the main corridor.

The robbers started to take their equipment when one of them spotted the map. The crooks took the map but forgot all about the equipment. They left the corridor.
