Break?

Yes, Emily?

Guess what I found?

What did you find?

A treasure map! A treasure map!

Treasure? My, my- what does it say.

I don't know! I can't read it.

Well, I can't read it either. How are we going to find the treasure, then?

Maybe we can ask someone to help?

[Al always knocks politely and this time is no exception. He's been here before, though usually just for tea.]

... I have no idea which one his room is. Do you?

Yeah, sure. Seen him pop out of it once or twice.

[A pause.]

The window would be faster. Just sayin'.

We're already inside-

[Al reaches out, gripping Killua's shoulder and staring downwards.

There's blood on the floor.]

[Killua is more deterred by Al's reaction than by the blood itself, quickly attempting to remove his shoulder from the other boy's grip.]

I'm not gonna step in it. You can let go.

[They've found the map he was waving around, at least. On the back, a more elaborate little story is written;]

Long ago, Pegleg McGee's crew sailed the seven seas. They were the most ferocious pirates e'er to walk the decks of a ship. Pegleg McGee was a greedy man, and he sailed to the most dangerous reaches of the Adstringendum seas to find a place to hide his treasure.

He succeeded, but as he left the hiding place his ship was dashed against the rocks by the rather tempermental squid. Perhaps you should go down to this beach? There might be a clue in the shipwreck.

[A sketchy rendering of the city follows on the back, with an x marking a spot near the edge of the water.]

[Aang shows up a little after they've gotten to the water.]

Are you guys looking for the treasure, too?

[Another thing they might notice is a shipwrecked mast, lovingly recreated. It's a small little thing, dug hard into the sand, with just a crow's nest poking out. Attached to the top is a little note.]

[al_truism]

Yes!

[Al bites his lip thoughtfully as they get to the edge of the water, looking up at the pole.]

Aang, I bet you can Killua could both get to that easily.

[When they do get it down, the final note will send them to the clinic, to get their prize.]
