Flashback

I looked over at Hunter and saw an envelope in his hands. "I told you that I had a surprise for you on your birthday. I never got the chance to do it so I am gonna do it now. This envelope has a clue in it. There are ten envelopes that you have to find. Each one leads you closer to your surprise." He handed me the envelope and we got out of the truck. "Oh and they don't rhyme at all. I'm not very good at that stuff." I nodded in response.

"Umm, you have less than 5 minutes," Hunter says. I roll my eyes and try to find more green. I looked on the track and that's when I saw it. One little sparkling clue on a car. Wait!

I was getting close, then a car runs out in front of me. I finally get to the car, I grab the envelope and head back to the truck.

As soon as I was safe in the truck, I opened the second envelope of the day.
