Dan hoped her outfit was as uncomfortable as his stupid suit and tie. Usually, she wore jeans and some old T-shirt because she didn't like people noticing her, but today she was wearing a black dress so she looked like a vampire's bride. Amy was three years older and six inches taller than Dan, and she never let him forget it -like being fourteenġ0 was such a big deal. Sister was an alien imposter, but unfortunately they had the same eyes -green like jade, their grandmother used to say.

He had some awesome ones back at the apartment. At the moment, what he liked collecting best were charcoal rubbings of tombstones. He collected baseball cards, autographs of famous outlaws, Civil War weapons, rare coins, and every cast he'd ever had since kindergarten (all twelve of them). Secretly, Dan was excited, because he was hoping to make a rubbing of the tombstone after everyone else was gone. It all started when they went to their grandmother's funeral. And that was before she set fire to two million dollars. “They'll never have a clue.” The 39 Clues 1 -Maze of Bonesĭan Cahill thought he had the most annoying big sister on the planet. “Make sure they suspect nothing.” William couldn't tell for sure, but he thought the man in black smiled.
