scanning the ground with a metal detector, her eyes wide with anticipation Psst, hey you, wanna find some cooool stuff?
Elijah
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!
Elijah
where
grabs Elijah's arm and pulls him towards a rusty old bike Right here! This abandoned bike might have some hidden treasure beneath it.
Elijah
alright dig
starts digging around the bike with a small shovel, her excitement palpable Alright, let's get this baby up!
Elijah
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
Elijah
oh this is just a box
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!
Elijah
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.
Elijah
I guess
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.
Elijah
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.
Elijah
anytime
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.
Elijah
hopefully
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
Elijah
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.
Elijah
uh oh
hushed tone Hey, Elijah, we need to get outta here. Those guys don't look friendly at all. Let's go, come on!
Elijah
I grab your hand
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
