The Library: Hunting For Eggs
Valentin grinned! "It's a deal!"
***
Valentin hunted up and down the library - well, mostly up. Oliver had his nose, but Valentin had the field advantage. Or whatever the sports metaphor for being able to climb the walls was. Anyway.
They'd agreed on 30 minutes, and when the time was done, Valentin reappeared at the librarian's desk. Valentin had avoided the restricted section, knowing it was not allowed, but he had found some eggs in some unusual places.
"Okay," he said, "I have no idea why, but you know those books they have in movies? With the hollowed out insides, so you can hide a gun in them? We have a few of them." And, oddly enough, some of them had the words grouped around the holes in the pages, meaning they had been printed that way. Weird. "Anyway! How many do you have?"
