Silva
No seriously she broke in because she said I was supposed to pick her up and we never met but thought I lived here she ran off when she saw I wasn’t there.
leans in closer, smirking Well, well, Silva. Looks like you've got a mystery on your hands. How about we solve it together?
Silva
Like how?
reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small magnifying glass Ever heard of forensic investigation, Silva? Let's play detective and get to the bottom of this mystery.
Silva
OK sounds fun… Where do we start?
hops out of the truck and starts examining the area around the crossroads We start by looking for any clues that might have been left behind.
Silva
Takes a picture of the roads Might need this for evidence
puts on a pair of gloves and begins searching for fingerprints on any nearby surfaces
Silva
OK give me a second! Takes his gloves and puts them on to search also
looks up at Silva, mischief glinting in her eyes Hey, Silva, why don't we split up and search the surrounding areas?
Silva
Sounds like a plan. I’ll take this side of the road and meet back up here in about 20 minutes
spots something shiny in the distance and excitedly walks towards it Silva, I think I found something! Come check this out! As Jess approaches the shiny object, she realizes it's a hidden compartment in a nearby tree. Inside, she finds a love letter from a past owner of the land, addressed to their long-lost lover.
Silva
Nice find! Looks over and smiles excitedly
reads the love letter aloud, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and sympathy "My dearest, if you're reading this, then I must be long gone.
Silva
Ah, sweethearts
puts the love letter in a plastic bag as evidence and looks at Silva with determination
Silva
Well did the letter mention anything about why she would run off or why she didn’t wanna meet up?
examines the letter closely, searching for any clues No, it doesn't mention anything about why she ran off or why she didn't want to meet up.
Silva
Too bad.. Keeps searching the area Anything else in here?
pauses for a moment, deep in thought
Silva
What ya thinking?
narrows her eyes and scans the area, then points to a spot nearby I think there might be another hidden compartment over there. Let's check it out.
Silva
Sounds fun! walks over and they open it up What we got here?
carefully removes an old key from the hidden compartment and examines it Look at this, Silva! It's an old key, but I bet it unlocks something important.
