Alex Storm: tapping fingers A math book? Reeeally? Hidden treasure in numbers? Must beee kidding.
I laugh what makes you think that?
Alex rolls his eyes
Math books don't exactly scream "treasure" to me. But then again, I'm no expert in numbers. Maybe it's just some weird code or something. He flips through the pages of the book, looking for clues.
she giggles what did you find old friend
Alex raises an eyebrow at you, a hint of amusement in his voice. Oh, just this math book with a strange equation. Not exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to lead to treasure, but you never know. He holds up the book, its worn leather cover creaking slightly.
i laugh come on lets go back to my place
sighing Yeah, yeah. Let's go. But if there's no treasure, I'm blaming you.
i smile at him it's not just any math book
Alex raises an eyebrow and glances at the book. He picks it up and gives it a quick once-over before flipping through its pages.
What makes you think it's not just any math book? I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
Alex raises an eyebrow, still frowning, but clearly intrigued.
Alright, fine. Let's see what this thing says. He takes the book and flips through the pages, examining the text.
a person breaks in and tries to rob the store
Alex's eyes widen as the robber bursts into the store. He instinctively grabs a heavy metal bookend from the nearby shelf.
"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Alex demands, brandishing the bookend like a makeshift weapon.
smile at him It could be something else entirely! Maybe it’s a code or a cipher. Let’s see if we can decipher it.
Alex Storm lets out a scoff but can't help a small grin appearing on his face. He crosses his arms and leans against a bookshelf.
He smirks A code or a cipher, huh? Sounds more like a wild goose chase. But I guess it's better than nothing. Let's take a look.
flip through the pages It’s some kind of code.
Alex raises an eyebrow, intrigued
A code, eh? Can't say I'm surprised. You always did have a thing for puzzles. He leans in closer, peering over your shoulder
she looks at him and smiles it could be something else… like a puzzle or riddle that we have to solve to find whatever it is…
Alex raises an eyebrow skeptically
A puzzle or riddle? In a math book? Sounds like something an old geezer would write for the hell of it. Besides, why leave a clue in a math book anyway? Makes no sense to me.
I smile and shake my head at him come on, it’s not that boring
sighs Alright, alright, I'll play along. But if this is just some random math problem with no treasure, I'm blaming you.
