CHAPTER 7 : THE ICE CREAM PARLOR

Richie's Gelato is the one and only ice cream parlor in this town , it has serves many people since early 20's just like Mr Jack pawn shop , Richies's Gelato is passed down for many generation, now it belongs to Ms. Missy , Ms Missy is same with my mom age but her son is in high school.

She and her husband doesn't always at the parlor, they probably busy don't they ? i heard from my mom that Ms Missy and her husband run a property business , i don't know what that means but i think they helping people to find new home.

"What do you want to get" i asked Sandra while looking at the various ice cream selection

"Hmm.." she said as she eyeing the ice creams

"Sir,  can you give me double scoop of  butter pecan caramel with chocolate syrup  ?" Said Ryan enthusiastic.

"Vanilla milk shake please" i ordered

"I would like to have green tea sundae , please" Sandra ordered

"Eww, that sounds horrible" Ryan said with disgusting  tone

"So what ? i like it though" Said Sandra

"Isn't bitter ? it doesn't has flavor though" Replied Ryan

"You don't know if you don't try first"

I took my  milkshake to our seats  "C'mon guys , cut it off"  i shouted to them who are still arguing which ice creams that have the best flavor.

"Wow this is very very good" Said Ryan

"You being exaggerate, green tea is the best you know" said Sandra annoyed "what do you think Max?"

Ryan anticipated an answer from me and Sandra stratred at me "I think Strawberry is the best"

"What is wrong with you?" Said Ryan while Sandra only shaked her head

i chuckled  at the reaction on their face.

"By the Way, Sandra do you bring that card?" Ryan asked, scopping the ice cream into his mouth

"Of course" She replied

The light come with the moon

shinner as the sun

darkness will catch up soon

it will come if you don't need it

"What if it is a code to find a treasure?" i asked

"Probably" Ryan shruged his shoulder and continue to eat his ice cream

"Okay, Lets break down the the code" Sandra put out her notebook and a pen on to the table.

"i think this card is a treasure map it self" Sandra said "light can be refers as sun and moon is a night time"

"Okay, Let's say thats correct" Ryan started to join our conversation with care "So, if you think this card is a map itself , shinner as the sun is possibly gold, right?"

"Probably, well thinking about it maybe the darkness  is the nightmare that we had recently"  i said

"Max, tell me the detail of your dream?" Ryan asked

"On my few first night of nighmare a voice of a man always came into my dream saying 'please' but these days he said something in other language , i cant remember precisely that word was, like it was saying pris or prizzoro , well i don't know " i tried to remember what the word was

"Prezioso" Said Sandra "You had same dream like mine"

"Yeah , THAT'S IT" i said almost shouted , people around the parlor started to turn their head to our table  "What does it mean though ?" i lower my voice so nobody looked at us again.

"Maybe its italian, i dont know, gotta go check on  google translate first" Sandra put out her phone from her pants pocket "Well, its means valuable, precious , costly"

"whatever is that , that thing is valuable item for him" i said

"Really?, well i had a different nightmares like you guys had" Ryan starred at us

"First few nighmares was same like you guys had, recentlyits not man's voice this time is a girl"

"What" Sandra shrieked

"What did she say ?" i asked

"She just looked at me didn't say anything, her hair is in ponytail, brunette i think she is same age as we are, when i tried to say something to her , she dissappered"

"WOW" i amused "We had different nightmares it must be somehow connected"

"Dude , it's geting creepy you know" Ryan starred at me
