Book of Secrets

Chapter 6

Hey guys! This book went up in teen fiction but down one in spiritual. Oh, well! Thanks for reading everyone! I am so flattered that complete strangers are taking time out of their days to read this suckish book. :) And you guys should read my other book, because it's WAY better than this one. It's not neccessarily Christian Fiction, but there's nothing offensive either. It's my favorite child, so to speak. Also, should I do shoutouts every chapter? And should I add a cast? Who do you think should be Emma Rae Bennett? Are platypuses mammals, birds, or reptiles? Will Disney ever ask me to star in one of their shows? Will they take me up on my idea for the final episode of Phineas and Ferb? Will I be able to find the owner of the journal? Will I enjoy Europe? Will I accidently walk into the men's restroom while I'm there? These are the questions that haunt me at the moment.  Ok, so enjoy this next chapter if you haven't already skipped this rambling paragraph! :D

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

I hold the slip of paper between my thumb and forefinger. Scrawled across the paper is a line in French. "What does this mean?" I ask Kylie.

She bites her lip. "I don't know. I only had a semester of French," she looks down. Then her eyes light up. "Emma! Look it up on your phone!"

She watches as I fishes my iPhone out of my jean pockets. I unlock it and tap on the app to open it up again. Slowly copying each letter into my phone, I translate it. "Ok. So, 'Cher ami, j'ai caché le trésor dans l'église près de la croix dans la fenêtre. Recherchez le banc le plus proche de la face de l'église. Aller tout le chemin vers la gauche et de trouver la boîte. Vous savez où il sera caché si vous trouvez l'endroit. 816 Huitième rue N.W' means, 'Dear Friend, I have hidden the treasure in the church near the cross in the window. Look for the pew closest to that window. Go all the way to the left and find the box. You know where it will be hidden if you find the spot. 816 Eighth street N.W.'" I look up from my phone with wide eyes. "Do you know what this means, Kylie?"

"That you completely slaughtered the French language?"

I glare. "No. There is treasure somewhere! And we know where to find it!"

"But the journal is in French. That church is probably in Europe," Kylie says.

Well then. Hmph.

I type in the address in Google. According to Google's tracker, about 629,000 results popped up in 0.34 seconds. Wow. I scroll down. "Kylie! I think I found it!"

She looks up from her soda. "What?"she replies in shock and excitement. Kylie looks over my shoulder at my iPhone screen.

I proudly point at the fifth link on the screen. "Greater New Hope Baptist Church. And it's in D.C.!," I exclaim.

Kylie smiles. "So, Emma, are you ready to go to church again?"
