The trip to the movies.: chapter 5
We get up around 9 in the morning and get dressed. I had one other set of clothes. I had washed them in a creek once so they were clean. "He,let's go to the movies that movie about that whale is on" Craig says."you mean the whale whisper?" Ben asks. We laugh. "I here that island escape is good" Bella says. "Yeah,it sounds quite interesting to me" I say. "Let's vote, all in favour of the island escape" 5 of us put our hands up. The other two (Craig and Ben) say the whale whisper. We soon get some money together and walk outside. A Toyota ute and a ford falcon flat-tray await us. I go with Ben and Sophie in the Toyota . We soon head into town. When we reach the town we decide to buy some burgers for BREAKFAST (yes I said breakfast) and also some milo. It tastes so good to me. The others say they do this twice a week. I buy a smoothie maker and give it to Brayden "next time we have a party we can make good drinks" I say.
We soon head into the cinemas and grab some popcorn then we grab a seat. We are 7 of 27 people watching this movie. We talk through most of the movie. I should tell them my name. i smile as Brayden tells us of an accident his father done. No I can't tell them not yet.
In about two hours the movie ends and we head out. "Let's show crystal the chests " Sophie says eagerly they agree and we follow Brayden down a path. We turn left and reach a dirt path. We reach a river. A wooden bridge stretches across it. We walk onto the bridge and Brayden and Ben pull a rope up. 3 chests and a small box come up attached to chains. "He,what's in them?" I ask "we don't know, we have nether been able to open them" rose says. "Oh,hang on I might have something ". I say as I reach into my bag. I pull out a wrench it is really big. "Yeah,pass" Brayden says. I nod and hand him my wrench. He cranks one chest open. We open it. "COINS!!!!!" We say. There must Be about 500 billion.We set it aside and crank open the next one. "Books?" We say. I pick one up. It's a diary the others are to busy searching through the chest to notice me put it in my pocket.
This chest also has a lot of paper under the books. Sophie picks a sheet up. "It's music paper" she says she puts it back and we push it aside. We crank open the next last chest. " clothes" we say."There are all sorts" Bella says. I pick up a bunch. There are women's clothes,kid clothes,baby clothes and also men. The others pull the small box up. I take some women's clothes when there not looking . Suddenly Bella leans forward to grab the box but she falls into the water. This gives me time to put the clothes in my bag. We laugh as we help her back up. "Let's save the box for later" Brayden says. We nod and stand up.
As we make our way back to the car I say "what will we do with these chests.?" I look over to Brayden, his brown hair covering his left eye. He brushes it away and says. "Well,we can't leave it there, maybe take it to the cops.". "Well we could do that but won't they be suspicions , not everyday 7 kids bring 3 chests full of stuff in" Ben says. "Hmmm,you have a point" Brayden says. "What do we do?" Rose asks. "Help our selfs or run,or we..,we could take them in" Sophie says. "How about this-we take a bit,then donate to the homeless." Brayden says. We all agree. we turn back and carry the chests and the box to the two cars. We put two chests in the ute that Sophie Ben and I will travel in while Brayden,Bella ,rose ,Craig put the remaining in the falcon.
Soon we are on the rode. We pass a coin dealer. "We should stop and find out how much these are worth." I say to Ben who is driving. "Hmmm." He texts Brayden and we stop just down the rode from the shop. "Just take a handful " I say as we each grab a handful and walk up the street. "Um,excuse me sir, we was wondering how much one of these would be worth?" I say as we enter. I stretch out my palm which holds a few coins. The man behind the counter gets out a magnifying glass and examines the coin closely. "Oh?...oh wow.......hmm..... So we're did you get this?" I shrug and say "berried in some junk" I look at his very fascinated face.
"Just one of these....is worth $200 dollars. " he says. "Two hundred dollars?" I say. "Yep" he says. "Perhaps you would like to sell,I will give you double the price ,Man these are rare." Says the man. I look behind me were the others stand. "Oh we are good thanks""Brayden says as we leave. I hang back a second. "Let's reconsider, I need that money. I hand him 1 coin. They won't know.. He smiles and hands me the cash. I smile back and run after the others. I slip the money in my pocket. I catch them quickly. "We're were you?" Brayden asks. "Oh,I tripped by the door " I blush with embarrassment. I actually did trip up slightly as I exited. He nods and we get back in. We start to head home. "They were worth a lot of money" I say.
"Yeah, dam it we should of said yes." Ben days as he turns up the radio. I sit back and relax for a moment. Soon we pull up back at the shed. "Let's play betting" Ben smirks as we get inside. We climb onto our bunks and I say "like what" looking at Brayden and Ben. "Well,there is the bike, mountain bike, of mine." Ben says. "I have the Bluetooth speakers." Sophie says. "I have....oooh I have a spare phone" Brayden says. "I have some Chinese cups" Bella says. "Hmm,I have......a camp chair " rose says "I have a clock" Craig says. I think while looking through my bag. "I have a........." What do I have. "I have a pair of sunglasses " I say. "Ok,we are all betting for them things. " Ben announces.
"10$" Ben says. "20$" Sophie says. "30$" Craig says. "Hmm I bid 60$" I smile. "Dam it,I'm out" Brayden says. "Yep me too" Bella says. "65$". "75$" I say."Noooo I'm out" Sophie says. Everybody looses."yay" I smile. I pay everyone there share of the 75 dollars. And claim my prize. "A take a look at my new phone. It's a touch screen. I smile and put it in my pocket. "Should we see what is in that box?" I ask.
"Yeah ok,hang on." Brayden says as he grabs the box from the ford. We carefully open it. "Hmm there is only a small piece of yellow rock." Ben says. "Uh,that's not rock,well kinda,it's gold" I say. "Nice,I'm going to take that to the museum,they pay you two times what it's worth." Craig says. "I will go" I say. Taking the box. "Then we can give the money to a homeless shelter." I say. I hop onto my new bike. "Catch you soon"I say as I peddle off.
I get the job done quickly.
