William locked up for the day. He went out through the back to avoid all the media and such.

He knew he was a smart man indeed. But he didn't need all the attention. Yes, he invented a growing ray which made things grow faster and ended world hunger. Yes, he has a talking monkey with a weird name, Scarl.

But still...Too much.

He opened the door to his car and drove without a word home.

He open his home door and Scarl came jumping in

"How was your day Dane?" Scarl asked while trying to prick a mango.

"It was great Scar. How about you?" He asked.

Just then, Mia, the head maid came in and took Will's jacket.

"Your dinner's ready Sir." She said.

"Thank you Mia."

Mia walked away coat in hand.

"Boring, a bit exciting news though." Scarl says.

"Do tell."

"Well, a man called about the Amulet. Something about knowing where it is and him wanting to join you on a hunt for it an-"

"What? What didn't you tell me earlier Scarl?" He asked taking a pause from his dinner.

"Well, I forgot till now."

William got up and started making his way upstairs.

"Just because we have progress doesn't mean you have to starve yourself. Remember last time?" Scarl said.

Will ignored him and continued on upstairs.

"A word to a wise is always enough my butt." Scarl mumbled under his breath.

************************************

Will made his way to his room and checked his messages. There it was. The message that changed his life.

He pressed 'Start' and it started to play:

"Hello Sir. I am Danny James and I've been researching on the Amulet for 4 years. I know that's not enough, but, I think I know where it is. I would like to meet with you at 4:15 sharp on Tuesday, the 19th of March. See you there."

'The message ended. Tuesday? That was tomorrow. This message must have been place a while ago.' Will thought to himself.

************************************

4:15 Sharp.

Tuesday, March 19th.

....................................

Will was sitting down when a man with blue eyes and Red hair sat down with him.

"Hello." The man said extending out his hand.

They shook hands and he sat down.

"So, where exactly IS the Amulet?" Will asked.

"On an island near Greece." The man said.

"Which one? Crete?" Will asked.

"No, it's an unmapped island."

"And you figured this out how?"

"On the tales I heard, I always heard Greek God names been mentioned. So I thought somewhere near there."

"How do you know about the Island?" Will asked.

"In a similar Greek tale, the character happens to be in a boat at exactly 12:00 midnight on May, Friday the 13th. It may be a unlucky now, but it was different then in Greece. In ancient Greece, Zeus is considered as the thirteenth and the most powerful god. This thirteenth god seems to be associated with totality, completion and attainment. So it was lucky for them and many other religions."

"Ok, so I will trust you and fund this trip,"

"That's great! By the way, I'm Danny, just in case your wondering."

"We'll Danny. We have a deal. So pack your bags because on May 10th, we shall leave America for Greece."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome." Will said.

That was the end of it. Will then walked home happy to know it was all great. Little did he know, the worst things in life come free to us.
