Missing On Superstition Mountain
“Delilah read.
Henry sucked in his breath and stared at her. The very same words! What did it mean?
“What is it?” Simon asked, taking the paper from Delilah.
Henry realized that neither he nor Delilah had told Simon and Jack about Adolph Ruth and the gold. “Do you remember me reading to you about Adolph Ruth?” he asked impatiently. “He was on the list in the historical society booklet, one of the first disappearances on the mountain. His skull was found with bullet holes in it?”
Simon’s brow furrowed. “I remember the name. I remember thinking it was like Hitler, and how many Adolphs do you run into?”
“Well,” Henry continued, “it took years for searchers to find his remains, but they also found his wallet, and inside—”
“Inside was a note that had ‘veni, vidi, vici’ written at the bottom,” Delilah finished. “Which means ‘I came, I saw, I conquered.’ It’s Latin.”
“So?” Simon looked puzzled.
“Yeah, so?” Jack echoed. “Why’s that important?”
