Treasure Hunt 🚨
When Lindsey walked into the station, she found multiple of her coworkers staring at the tv. "What's going on?" She asked as she walked up next to Williams. "Hollis Harcourt, the famous author, is dead." He told her. Lindsey recognized the name. Penelope was a fan of his work and would tell Lindsey all about his books.
"Oh wow. That's awful," She watched as everyone's eyes were still stuck on the tv, "Were you guys all fans of his?" She asked, trying to figure out why they were so enthralled by the news. "No, not really." Williams was the only one that spoke.
"Then why are you guys so interested in this?"
"Cause he left 5 million dollars in treasure somewhere in the city." One of the other officers told her. "He did what?" She asked as her eyes fell on the screen and watched as Hollis gave his message to his fans.
"Behold. My final gift to the citizens of Los Angeles-a rare and priceless treasure. Though, if I had to put a price on it for tax purposes, i'd call it about $5 million. I'm gonna bury this chest somewhere in the city of Los Angeles. If you are clever, as I know you are, one of you will find this chest, and the treasure will be yours."
Lindsey sighed, "This is going to be a crazy couple of days." She looked up when she heard footsteps coming their way. Athena shook her head, "Please tell me that's not porn or sports."
"This? This is our future." Lindsey said sarcastically and Athena looked over to see the screen. "Apparently a guy buried $5 million somewhere in the city and then told people to go out and find it." Romero, who had joined the group moments before Athena did, informed her.
"I miss the days when rich people would just name wings of museums and hospitals after themselves. Have we had a conversation with this misguided citizen?" Athena asked. Romero shook his head, "Yeah, that's a little hard to do. He's been dead a week."
"Did we post uniforms at his grave site?" Lindsey asked and Romero averted his eyes. Lindsey sighed, "You know, that's one of the first places people are gonna start digging."
"Kevin, find out where he's buried. Send some units. Thanks."
With a shake of her head, Athena walked off and Lindsey went with her. Romero followed the two as he asked, "How bad do you think this is gonna get?"
"Ugh. City's coming out of a near yearlong lockdown. Everyone's still a little stir-crazy. This? This is gonna send them over the edge." Athena said with a laugh.
