with the challenge we are about to face and the object we need to find!

Salish- Ooh, what about this one!? Let’s see… It’s called the molded gem
and the children, this looks willing.

Mark- Yeah to you.

Salish- Oh do be quiet Mark, the poor children we need to find them fast!

Salish- Everyone focus! Sit down, the first part of it says umm, it’s in
number language not English.

Joe- That’s an interesting start to a book.

Salish- Not to worry I know how to figure this one out!

Sophie- Oh yeah! Salish it’s just like the number language we used to pass
notes to each other during tests!

Everyone else- (Slaps Head)

Sophie- Too loud?

Everyone else- (nods)

Sophie- Ok pen and paper

Joe- Check and check.

Mark- Hurry this up a little, we only have 24 hours to solve this.

Salish and Sophie- The first part is to step twice swirl and you’ll feel mice,
it’s not very nice, but then fall to a pit, drink the petals then well then sit.

Molly- Huh…

Salish- We must follow these steps, I guess.

Everyone- (while stepping twice) The first part is to step twice.

Everyone- (while shivering awkwardly) Then you’ll feel mice.
Everyone- (falling to a dark scene) but then fall to a pit.
Everyone- (picking petals) Drink the petals.
Everyone- (sitting down) Then sit.

Mark- Yes! The next clue! (un-scrolling the scroll) A key?

Joe- Read it!

Mark- one plus one isn’t two just like fun doesn’t mean you won.

Molly- I know this!

Mary- For once in your life.

Molly- Mary! SHHH! Anyway, I lost a game of chess once, it was fun while it
lasted but I lost 10 times in a row all I got was a participations medal!
Mark- Sooooooo

Molly- well the medal is here and let me see the scroll. Uh huh it has a
perfect outline of my medal, let me lock it in.

(A KEY APPEARS)

Everyone- Yes Molly!

Salish- wait a second it is only the tip, if we put it in any lock, it will get
stuck!

Joe- The key has some tiny writing I might be able to make out what it says!
42 Durham.

Mark- so we need to go to 42 Durham Road…?

Sophie- I guess, let’s give it a go. Dibbs, I am doing the talking, the children
may live there.

(Walking to house)

Sophie- no answer!

Salish- well we obviously know this is the correct house because it’s
mailbox says the house number so, lets check the mail box.

Sophie- Yes the key! Wait, let me try opening the house with this key.

(Door creeks loudly)

Mary- Children?

Salish- Start searching for the molded gem before we run out of time!
 Salish- (Looking at watch) we only have 5 minutes left.

Mark- in here, the doors lock, where is the key Sofe?

Sophie- Catch!

Mark and Joe- the gem!

Salish- quickly put it in here only 1 minute left.

(Places it in the case)

Everyone- Please work, please work!

Salish- (opens the case and hands it to mark.)

Mark- Yes! The names and addresses of where they are being kept!

Mary- we can finally go find the missing children!

Molly- And get away from this dangerous life.

Joe- I don’t care if I am grounded for my entire lifetime!

Salish- Home here we come

Sophie- And the missing children’s home!

Hands together- 1,2,3 EMJAYSS!
