   Aw c’mon. He’s like a leather-clad Santa Claus.

   Well, she already robbed one and it seemed to be a cakewalk for her. Why didn’t she just steal the book?

   Fed? Annie’s bio-dad?

   That’s the question. If she’s paying a fourth of the value of the treasure to buy the book, how would the person she’s buying it from know to market the book as Scardol’s copy? If they know it’s Scardol’s copy with the clues in it, the only reason they would have to sell it would be because they already found the loot and are selling the book for some extra cash. It would be really stupid for Croptop to buy the book from someone who knew its true value without considering that they already got the loot. The book couldn’t be marketed as such otherwise and Croptop couldn’t have found its location and present owner. If the owner didn’t know its value, why even buy it? If she’s willing to knock over a bank for it, why not just steal the book? Who’s going to protect a book they don’t know is particularly valuable?

   All she has to do is rob three more and she can forget about trying to find Scardol’s stash.

   Many of the kids also hunted and brought their rifles and shotguns to school if they were hunting before or after school. They left them in their racks. I also had a friend who had inherited his dad’s firearm collection – some of which were nice antiques. He also had his dad’s equipment and knew how to make his own ammunition tailored for specific purposes. These rural farming kids also respected their parents and valued their families. Generally, they still do, at least among the families I know.

   We had a couple of weeks every Fall where schoolwork would be light because a significant number of kids were in the fields helping with the harvest, and yes, a lot of that harvest was tobacco. The early ’80s were definitely a different time. These days the kids sometimes drive farm equipment to school because they are stopping by the fields to work before they go back to the house in the evening.

   How does the book cost enough to have to rob a bank over when the thing that would make it that valuable would be knowledge of the clues it contains… which would be perhaps 4 times as valuable. I don’t think Mike thought this through.

   Back in my day, we had a smoking area at school. For the kids who chewed or dipped (this was a rural farming community, after all) they could chew or dip anywhere as long as they didn’t spit on the floor.

    Bingo. I was going to make a comment with a similar observation. Once again we are accruing plot holes big enough for furries to fit into.
