Mystery at Mikey's Mansion - "Our First Big Project" (3)

7:55 PM

Mikey joined Daniel’s side and looked at his rear yard.

“My quarry! Look at what Simon did to my quarry!” Mikey announced.

“I never imagined that the playing field would be this big.” Dan added.

“Oh, wait until you get into the secret underground areas.” Mikey added in a teasing tone and patted Dan on his right shoulder.

“Well, let’s get a move on.” Dan relayed. “The first thing we should do is open up your work shed.”

“Did you find the key?” Mikey asked as they walked toward the work shed and he noticed the padlock affixed to a chain tangled around the handles in such a way they kept the doors closed but unlocking the padlock would cause the chains to fall away like hail from the sky.

Dan took both the padlock key and the gas mask from his pockets and presented them to Mikey. “I did and look at this.”

“How novel, giving us someone else’s gasmask, how unsanitary. At least it’s been wiped clean.” Mikey noted, giving the mask a once over.
