I added. He nodded. "I know." We stood there a beat too long. I wanted to reach for him. I didn’t. Back in my suite, the exhaustion hit all at once. I peeled off my boots, dropped my clipboard to the floor, and stared at the map pinned above my desk. Red thread linked a dozen clues, all centering around one name: Clearwater. I picked up my pen and wrote something new at the bottom corner. They’ll never play fair. So neither can I.

I braced myself for the challenge ahead. Amy's team worked together harmoniously, sharing ideas and collaborating on solving the clues. The beach offered a picturesque backdrop, with sandy shores, vibrant seashells, and palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. We combed through the area, searching for hidden objects and landmarks mentioned in the clues.

We quickly gathered our things and headed out the door, following the cryptic clues left for us. The first clue led us to a nearby park, where a hidden message awaited us beneath a bench. It directed us to a quaint café on the outskirts of town. We arrived at the café and found another envelope waiting for us at the counter. As we sat at a table, sipping our coffees, we opened the envelope to find a map and a note. The map highlighted a specific location in the countryside, and the note read, "Within the forgotten walls, secrets lie buried. Uncover them, and the truth shall be revealed."

There were about six books with upside-down crosses on their covers and they all started to get scared. “Guide?. Another Clue?.” “The first letter of the author’s name is a J and the last letter is an S.” “I have it!.” Aria screamed and immediately started to flip through it. “Hurry Aria!. We have only three minutes left!.” Lola screamed while Josh kept checking the door. “I’m trying okay! Stop screaming!.” Aria shouted back. “Huh!. Girls?.” Josh suddenly called as he stared at the door which was closed but not locked as there was no latch placed on it. “Can you hear that sound?.”

**Into the Shadows** The cold air whipped through the open window as Claire drove toward the docks, her heart racing. She could feel the weight of the laptop beside her, the damning evidence it held burning like a ticking bomb ready to explode. The developers had set a trap with the fake documents, but now she had the real ones. The stakes had never been higher, and every passing minute brought her closer to either exposing the truth or falling into another deadly ambush.

Before someone dangerous gets out. Claire was even more ecstatic about the book now, dreams of cash born of tragedy filling her mind.

Byron didn't want to be quite that purple, especially concerning his friend, but he figured he would lose this particular war.

I beamed. "Crazy, isn't it?" "Fucking crazy, for real." "First, we put THE DA VINCI CODE by DAN BROWN here." He picked out the book and inserted it in the center line of the shelf. He put HOW TO STOP TIME by MATT HAIG, followed by EVERGREEN by NAOMI HIRAHARA. "Then KISS THE GIRLS by JAMES PATTERSON." He put it next to the first book. "I've read that." I went on in a spur of excitement. "It's a thriller and mystery novel about a detective who's trying to track down a serial killer. So many twists and cliffhangers. Total page-turner." I giggled.

The cryptic message hinted at a secret location, shrouded in mystery and intrigue, drawing me into its enigmatic embrace like a moth to a flame. With each step I took towards the old golf club, perched atop the upper edge of the city where the wealthy elite resided, the sense of anticipation grew stronger, fueling my determination to uncover the truth behind the clandestine invitation.

Not of worlds. Not of stories. A map of people. Countless tiny lights filled its pages. Each light represented an Author somewhere across existence. One by one... those lights began disappearing.
