After school was over I drive home in my old excuse of a truck. I opened the door and walked on to find a note from Patricia saying 'Gone to friends house, be home in a while. Suppers in the fridge. Chicken and potatoes.'
Yes. I love potatoes! I pulled out my phone, texted Patricia  'I'm going to Layla's house at 6:00.'
     She soon replied 'Okay honey, be home by 8:00, I have a surprise, See you then.'
     I was kinda worried that she had a surprise because her idea of a surprise is going to the store to buy groceries.
     In the meantime, I decided to go look around the house to try to find something that could give me a clue about what's happening. As I was walking, I ran into one of Patricia's wacky charms. She believes it keeps out "dark spirits". 
      Suddenly, a place popped into my mind. Patricia's Room. She never aloud me or anyone in their. She must hiding something...
      In there, I found a lot of books and stuff. I seen something hanging out from this picture of a pretty lady from the old days. I went over to the picture to investigate.
     It was a map. Luckily it was English because a lot if things in here are a different language.
     It said 'A place to go. Where casters meet. To get the stuff that they need.' Must be some market for casters... I think this is a type of treasure map.
       I checked my phone. 5:56pm God how long did I take looking! I ran downstairs and tucked the map in my backpack.  I then ran to Layla's house, which was just a few houses down.
    I opened the door and went into the living room. Layla was sitting on the couch doing homework.
   "Sorry Layla, I was looking for some clues and look what I found." I pulled out the map and showed it to her. She took it and read it.
  "Wow cool. So it's some sort of treasure map." Layla and I continued to look at the map until her brother David came home.
"Hey guys. What are you doing?" He asked curiously.
"Ummm...." I looked at Layla with panic in my eyes.
She gave me a go ahead and tell him-look.
"It's some kind of caster map." Layla quickly blurted.
"You know mom absolutely hates that stuff right?" He responded.
"Yeah I know. Please don't tell her. " Layla pleaded.
"You know I wouldn't. I have to be there for my lil sis." David teased.
"Stop!!" Layla whined.
"You know I can help you. Mom's told me a lot about that stuff. "
"Great!!!" Layla and I squealed.
After a while of David helping us their parents came home.
"Hide the map." David whispered.
But before Layla could hide the map their parents were already in the living room...
