“We better get out of here,” Ed said.

Tony stood undecided. “It would be really fun to bust whoever’s in there,” he said.

“But if you get caught trespassing you could be off the football team,” Ed said.

“Good point.” They turned to descend the stairs.

Just then, the music went dead and the doorknob turned. The door opened and the muscular figure of a man appeared in the opening.

“Coach Theodore?” Tony asked in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

The coach smiled. “Didn’t you know Silas Walker was my great-great-grandfather? I own this house.” He closed the door behind him, but not before the boys got a look at a table filled with jewels.

“What was that?” Tony asked. “It looked like jewelry.”

“None of your concern,” the coach answered with a warning frown. “You boys get out of here and forget you saw anything.”

“Is that from Connie’s Jewelry Store?” Tony asked.

The coach glared. “Keep asking questions and I guarantee you won’t be on the team this year, Tony.”

Tony glared back. “I don’t want to play for a thief anyway.” And he turned to walk away.

“Tony!” Ed screamed. “He’s got a gun!”

Tony turned back in time to watch his coach pull a handgun from his jacket pocket.
