Cody: nervous, pacing D-do you remember, sis, that summer by the beach? I j-just want to protect you now.
Hey, hey, hey! no need to be nervous, Cody. I was just reminiscing about those old times.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I know it's been a while since we last saw each other, but I need your help.
pauses, glancing at Stranger with a hint of vulnerability It's... it's about our parents. They've been gone for years now, and...
Yeah, I know, they left us alone. But we still have each other, right? That's what matters.
takes a step closer to Stranger, his voice filled with determination We do have each other, sis. And together, we can uncover the truth.
What are you talking about, Cody? What truth?
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls her towards the wall where there are old family photos Look at these, sis. Do you remember the day we took these pictures?
Smiling Of course I do. That was the day we went to the beach together. What's this about though?
points to a photo of their parents Our parents were hiding something, sis. I always had this feeling, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it until now.
I mean, I guess it's possible. They did seem kind of secretive. But what makes you think it's important?
pauses, then grabs a dusty old box from under the table Look at this, sis. It's their old journal.
Oh my god, since when did you have that?
opens the journal and starts flipping through the pages I found it hidden in their attic a few weeks ago. It's filled with clues, sis.
Gasps My god, Cody! This could really shed some light on everything. But what kind of clues are we talking about here?
pauses, a determined look in his eyes Clues that point to the whereabouts of a hidden treasure, sis. Our parents left it behind for us to find.
Holy shit, Cody! A treasure? Are you serious?
closes the journal and looks at Stranger with a mischievous glint in his eyes Dead serious, sis.
So, what's the plan then? Do we start searching right away?
Cody and Stranger embark on a thrilling treasure hunt, following their parents' cryptic clues and uncovering long-buried family secrets along the way.
Looks at Cody with excitement Man, I haven't felt this alive in ages! Let's get this show on the road, bro!
grinning That's the spirit, sis! Alright, first clue on the next page. Let's decode it together. flips to the next page in the journal
Leans in close, whispering excitedly This is freaking awesome, Cody! Alright, let's see what's next.
squints at the faded ink on the old parchment, his brow furrowed in concentration Hmmm... "Where the sun rises, so does the treasure."
The sun rising? That could mean...the east! Does your map have any markings near the east coast?
traces his finger along the map, searching intently Yeah, there's a small X marked in the corner, just near the eastern seaboard.
Excitedly points to the map That's it, Cody! Let's pack our bags and hit the road!
slams his fist on the table, his voice booming with excitement Hell yeah, sis! We're gonna find that treasure and uncover all the secrets our parents left behind!
Grinning ear to ear Damn straight we are, Cody! Let's roll!
grabs his backpack and starts shoving essential gear inside Alright, sis, let's make sure we have everything we need for this adventure.
Rushes over to grab her bag I'm ready when you are, partner! Just give me a second!
