Millie: "Agreed. Let's start by searching the attic."
As they rummaged through the boxes and old items in the attic, Max came across a book with strange symbols in it.
Max: "Look at this! It has symbols in it. Maybe it's related to the message in the pendant."
Millie: "Let me see that. You're right. This could be a clue."
They continued their search and found a torn piece of paper with cryptic writing on it.
Max: "Another clue! We need to put this together with the other pieces we've found."
Millie: "And look at this old diary. It belonged to my great-grandmother. There are references to a missing pendant in here."
Max: "This is it! We're getting closer to solving the mystery."
Chapter 4: The First Suspect
Max: "We need to find out more about the man mentioned in the diary. He could be a key to solving this mystery."
Millie: "Agreed. Let's go talk to him."
As they approached the man's house, Max and Millie were nervous but determined.
Max: "We can do this. Let's just be brave and ask him our questions."
The man answered the door and looked surprised when Max and Millie introduced themselves and explained why they were there.
Millie: "We found a message in a pendant that belonged to my great-grandmother, and we think you might know something about it."
