The next morning, all of us woke up. We had breakfast and then we went to Cairo. All of us were cautious and made sure that all of us were safe. Charlie had a great idea.

    "Should we take the Gizan Xpress because maybe Mark's parents might have had some idea how did it happen," she said.

    "That's a great idea, Charlie," I said.

So after breakfast, from his phone, Martin showed us where we had to stand for the Gizan Express. When we were checking out, the person who works at the hotel told us that nobody was there at the stop because we were early. It was 7:30 am and everybody must have just waked up or are eating breakfast. 

MMM!!!! This is the best pretzel ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we waited for the train to come, everyone started to discuss the man. Then, Charlie spotted a man who was spying on them. "Guys, look!" Charlie said, but the man was gone. Charlie explained what she saw and then I thought of something and explained it.

"Maybe the man at the airport and this guy have to do with the same thing." 

Hey!

The train came shortly after that. We were all shocked because of this again. We were all doing our own thing on the train. When the stop came for the archaeology site, we all came out and started looking for Mark's parents. When we found them we asked about any clues about the missing briefcase. They didn't know anything except for some gold missing.

"That's it!" I exclaimed.

"What?" Everyone else asked.

"I read that the prime minister had gold inside of his briefcase because he took some for his family, so that means that the robber took the gold."

"Oh yeah," Amanda said.

"Now let's go to the hotel," Chris said.

But before we headed to the train station, we saw an underground hole, and Max, Anna, Amanda, and I decided to go inside the hole to investigate. But, it was a trap and we four fell inside some water. I seemed fine, but I didn't argue.

    "I'll call the ambulance!" Martin said before he called.

Ten minutes later we were inside the ambulance.

AAAAHHHH!!

Wee Woo Wee Woo!!

Since there was no road, the ambulances had to come by air, and it took another ten minutes to reach the hospital. My friends came by the bus. The only reason we had to go to the hospital was to see if we had any diseases since it was a trap.

The hospital made us four split up and go into different ERs. After a few tests, I was clear and okay. But, Max had a bit of some reaction to it and was vomiting. It was nothing major, but Chris took Max to the hotel and we were now without Max. He'd get okay in a few days, but I was feeling bad I let my little brother down. But, Anna and Amanda and I met with the group and continued our mission.

We headed to the Prime Minister's home. When we got there, we asked if he knew anything about the case.

"All I know is that it was a gang of people, and one of them was short and had a beard and there was a group of four. Also, I was in Room 114."

"Thanks," Steve replied politely.

We headed back to the hotel and hoped we would solve the mystery tomorrow. Max was still sick but he was recovering and he would be able to continue in two days. All of us studied the mystery on our computers and then we all went to bed.

The next morning, we headed back to the Gizan Express. We headed to Room 114 on the train and searched for clues in that cabin. We couldn't find anything, but Mack found a letter hidden under the bedsheet. It must have been from the robber gang. I tried to put something together, but it was too complicated.

Hidden under here

That's when I thought of it when I read the note. Before that random guy said beware, I heard him say to two other people there that his name was Brian.

"Guys! Back at the airport, I saw two other guys with the creepy guy and they called him Brian. I'm thinking that those two were Emanuel and Roger and Ian was their boss who didn't do the robbery. Since it is 7/5/23, let's book a ticket to Ecuador."

Great job Brian, Emanuel, and Roger. I, Ian will grant you the best to return safely and steal all the minister's valuables. I will meet you in Ecuador on 7/6/23. Meet in our secret base at the address 25 Regina Street, Loja, Ecuador.
