Chapter 1
As the day wore off, I thought of my plans. I decided that after a day or two, I would head to my aunt’s place. My plan was about to change very soon though. I quickly finished my last work and headed home. As I went on thinking about my plans, I felt the presence of a second person close by, thanks to my sixth sense. Although it could’ve been another pedestrian walking, I felt a chill run down my back. Harmless people don’t scare you like that. I quickly reached home and locked my door, only to find… a letter. How normal. It looked like it had been written a long time ago. As I read it I was super surprised. It said:
“Dear Skye, we are sorry to inform you, but your grandfather has passed away. His will says that his inheritance goes to YOU, not your PARENTS. Please come and collect what now is your possession.
My whole world was turned upside down. Why did my parents not tell me about this? How did this letter come here? Questions popped all over my brain Due to the weird circumstances, I suddenly felt exhausted & went to sleep.
When I woke up, I thought everything had been a dream. But then I saw the letter with another paper. It said that my grandfather had a secret spy diary, and it was in the attic. I quickly went upstairs to retrieve it. As I read it I was really surprised. It said:
I have escaped the villain’s base with my secret box which contains the map to the treasure. I won’t say where the box is just in case it gets into evil hands. It is true that my inheritance goes to Skye. With her intelligence she will surely find it, because I think she knows where it is. ;)
I thought hard. Where could the treasure be? Then it hit me. I should probably check my grandfather’s house. I drove there immediately. The whole house was dusty from top to bottom. As I moved things around, I found some stairs leading to the basement. I went down the stairs, the creaking noise echoing off the walls. Downstairs there wasn’t much there, accept for a few papers. As I read one of them, I boiled with fury. It said,
“‘11 august 2030’
Overconfidence always leads to disasters. Watch out.

Hmmm... who could possibly write this? Bearing in mind that grandpa was a spy, i didn't doubt that he would've had alot of enemies, a thought which did not comfort me. I vowed to solve this weird puzzl. As I gave one last sweep, I found a paper with a bunch of code words. I didn’t know what they were, but I realized they might come in handy. When I had left my grandfather’s house, I did not know where to look more. I almost gave up, but then realized that my grandfather might not want me to give up so easily, so I racked my brain cells. I decided to check out my grandpa’s secret hideout that no one knew about. Even he didn’t know that I knew, but that involves a minor accident, in which I got a spare key. Trust me you don’t need to know about it. As I unlock the door, a sudden shadow appears from the inside. I yelp and leap back as the person turns out to be..
