uh accidentally found it We were looking for this special tool Tyler uses on that cat of his This key was in a box under the little toolbox Luis had promised his dad a million times to stay away from the shed in the back field beyond the edge of their long backyard But sometimes when their fathers were working inside Luis and his friends would listen against the metal door They had heard strange noises and angry yells Once the whole building seemed to glow When they heard crackling electrical noises and what sounded like an explosion they ran away and didn't go back for a week Luis's dad walked into the hall his car keys jangling in his hand You kids have exciting plans for the week Yes Mr Sanchez Tyler said Very Luis's dad nodded Good I'm on my way to meet your father at the university library Luis if your mom calls ask her how Grandma is doing
and when she's coming home He peered over his glasses at them Stay away from the shed Luis groaned His dad told them that every single day They stood by the window and watched until he drove his car away Our dads will be gone all morning Tyler said It's the perfect chance to see what's going on in that shed Luis said But we're not allowed We won't touch anything Casey promised We just want to see what the big secret is inside Aren't you dying to know They've been working out there ever since that big crate came to your house Luis nodded Of course he was curious about it More than curious Maybe it wouldn't hurt if they just had a peek inside Come on Luis Casey pleaded An engineer and a science professor spend hours every day
in a huge locked shed It has to be something amazing Luis grinned Okay he said He grabbed Steel and followed Casey and Tyler outside They ran around the house to the backyard and slipped through an opening in the fence between the yard and the shed Two weeks ago a huge mysterious crate had been delivered on a flatbed truck It came from the estate of Luis's great great great great uncle Cyrus a relative they'd never even heard of before then There was a letter with it But all Luis's father would tell him and his mother was that this long ago mysterious uncle had disappeared in the late 1800s The crate along with a suitcase of personal items had been locked away in the basement of an old house and discovered when someone new bought the house The closest living relative they could find was Luis’s father
The next day workers arrived and put up a large metal shed and moved the crate inside Luis and his friends stopped at the tall door Luis tugged at the large lock They'd tried picking it once but it gave Casey an electric shock Luis held out the key They were going to be grounded all week if their fathers found out they had been inside Maybe for the rest of the year Casey said Why are you waiting Luis didn't answer There could be an amazing adventure inside better than all his imaginings Or it could be full of boring dusty antiques Casey grabbed the key from him She stalked up to the door took a deep breath and pushed the key into the lock At first nothing happened She shook it then turned it the other direction Sparks flew from the lock but she didn't get shocked The lock shook and rattled until it fell open with a puff of smoke and a loud whoosh
