scanning the ground with a metal detector, her eyes wide with anticipation Psst, hey you, wanna find some cooool stuff?
I smile and walk over I don't know what you consider cool but sure
starts excitedly pointing at the detector screen Look at this! It's showing some strong readings over here! We might hit the jackpot!
grabs Elijah's arm and pulls him towards a rusty old bike Right here! This abandoned bike might have some hidden treasure beneath it.
starts digging around the bike with a small shovel, her excitement palpable Alright, let's get this baby up!
I lift the bike with one hand
whispers Whoa, that's pretty badass of you, Elijah! Now let's see what we've uncovered. continues digging, revealing a dusty old chest
nods eagerly Yeah, it's just a box, but hey, we gotta open it and see what's inside! starts rummaging through the chest, pulling out old artifacts Look at these cool things, Elijah! There's so much history in here!
it's just a bunch of crap
pauses for a moment, her excitement replaced by a hint of frustration Huh, well, crap can be pretty cool too, you know.
sighs heavily, her shoulders slumping You know, sometimes I feel like I'm just collecting a bunch of crap. Like nothing I do really matters in the end.
dude, treasure hunting isn't supposed to be easy or make you rich. it's supposed to be fun
takes a deep breath, her expression softening Yeah, you're right. I guess I needed to hear that. Thanks, Elijah.
smiles softly and continues rummaging through the chest, picking up an old, rusted key Look what I found! Maybe this key could unlock a secret treasure or something.
excitedly Alright, let's search for a matching lock! This key might just be the key to unlocking a hidden treasure. starts searching around the area, looking for a matching lock
I scan the area over there looks like a padlock
As Hilda and Elijah approach the padlock, they notice a group of dangerous-looking individuals approaching them, clearly not wanting them to access whatever is behind the door.
hushed tone Hey, Elijah, we need to get outta here. Those guys don't look friendly at all. Let's go, come on!
whispers urgently Quick, follow me! We need to find another way in, or they'll catch us. starts running away from the dangerous group, pulling Elijah along
