Richard looked at the odd wrapping of his birthday present. It did not look like any wrapping paper he had ever seen before. There was weird writing on it and it felt much different than what he normally got. The card that came with the gift only said that sometimes the gift I on the outside. There was no name with the gift but Richard had a feeling he knew who had sent it. He very careful to open the package without damaging the paper. He had a feeling he would want to save it.

“ Who gave you that?” Mary asked as she walked up behind him. He had been so focused on the gift that he had completely forgotten that she was there.

“ I feel like it’s from Roger and Gloria but there is no name so I’m not sure. He responded looking over the item in the box. It was a strange key and what looked like a set of instructions.

“Hey what’s that?” Henry asked as he came out of the kitchen holding a sandwich. Once again Richard was brought back to reality. He kept forgetting that thud was his birthday party and several of his friends were here.

“I’m not sure exactly what this is but need to put it away for now.” Richard says and put all of it into a large gift bag. He wanted to be able to give it his full attention to figure out exactly what it was. Henry handed him a drink as he walked up. Jimmy and Carol were sitting at the table shuffling cards. The poker game was about to start as soon as Richard finished with his gifts.

Henry sat down at the table last as he gave out two decks of cards to each table.

“Everyone knows the rules and if your new ask anyone at the table. Start time 8:15 blinds will go up every fifteen minutes.” He says she sat down at his table. As the night wore on Richard could not help thinking about the odd gift. No one else mentioned it but he had a feeling he was not the only one thinking about it. He was lucky tonight winking hand after hand. Soon it was down to one table and then it was over. He had managed to win 100 bucks but was still thinking about the package as the lady person left. Morning would be arriving soon but Richard did not care. He needed to know what the package was. He had a feeling it was some sort of treasure map but wanted yo make sure. He went to the living room and grabbed the package and the contents inside. Once he spread everything out he could see that his suspicions were correct. This was some sort of treasure map it also had a few items to help him on his hunt. The o w thing he was wrong about was who had given him the gift. I there was no way Roger and Gloria had given this to him. He had no idea who had given it to him.
