Tracy and Tricia: Some Detective Work of Their Own – Page 4

A few minutes later, a couple of spot lights came on, shining on a box amongst the four figures in the front.  Once it was opened, it revealed a gem in the center.  A gem which seemed to glow.  “The Glowing Gem.”  Tracy whispered to herself.

“This gem is what I figure you are here for.  The bidding price will start at 10,000,000 dollars.  Anyone who can afford this or higher is invited to Honolulu, Hawaii on April 17, where the auction will be held.  Accommodations will be made starting on April 15.  For right now, we are headed to Orlando, Florida.  You may come up and look at the gem for the next ten minutes.”  The man said.  Tracy got up and went to the front of the room to look at the gem.

After five minutes, she exited the room and returned to the bar, where Tricia was waiting.  “So, how did it go?”  Tricia asked.

“The bidding starts at 10 million dollars, and the auction’s being held in Honolulu, Hawaii.”

“Whoa!  Where are they off to next?”

“Shhhh…”  Tracy said as the two couples passed by them.  “Orlando, Florida.  You know, I think I recognize those two girls.”  She thought for a moment.  “Now I remember!  They were two of the Amazons that captured us in South America!”  With that, the two girls followed the couples outside, got in their car, and returned to the hotel.

The next morning, they got up and went to the airport to catch a plane ride to Orlando.  Arriving at the airport, they rented a car, and drove to a nearby hotel.  After checking in, they scanned the hotels in the area to see in which hotel the couples had chosen to stay.  They made arrangements to be awakened when the couples moved and went to sleep.
