airplanes…or go anywhere else. You are so<br />
lucky, Grant.”<br />
Grant did not look like he felt lucky. He<br />
looked like he wished that he had never found<br />
<strong>the</strong> map. “I sure d<strong>on</strong>’t know how to return it,” he<br />
said. “Because I have no idea who it bel<strong>on</strong>gs to.”<br />
Li shook her head. “This is bad joss,” she<br />
said. “I know C<strong>on</strong>g and I want to be in <strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong><br />
your grandmo<strong>the</strong>r’s mystery books…but we want<br />
it to be a pretend mystery, not a real <strong>on</strong>e.<br />
Especially a dangerous <strong>on</strong>e.”<br />
“Dangerous?” said Christina. She felt<br />
goosebumps pimple up al<strong>on</strong>g her arms. “What<br />

Li pointed to <strong>the</strong> fortune cookie note.<br />

asked. “It can’t mean anything good. It sounds<br />

“Maybe if we find <strong>the</strong> treasure, we can<br />
return <strong>the</strong> treasure instead <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> map?” C<strong>on</strong>g<br />
suggested.<br />
Grant looked shocked. “If I find any<br />
treasure, I’m sure not returning it! Finders,<br />
keepers, losers, weepers.”<br />
Christina giggled. “Did C<strong>on</strong>fucius say<br />
that?”
