Dragon: Oh, I swear to God, this game is pissing me off. I went in to see my little brother and surprise, he was transferred to another base right before I got here. So I figured he would be packing, and we could talk, but nope, that little shit took off and left me another letter and directions to the Salisbury House in Des Moines, Ia.
William looks at the letter but puts it back into his pocket. He gets the 1942 Harley Davidson started, and he begins heading down the road heading towards Iowa this time. William looks down at his phone to see the distance of the ride. 13 hr 32 min 925 miles.
Dragon: So now I have an all-day trip to follow your little scavenger hunt. While I'm on the road, I will have to stop and rest and read this freakin letter. So I can learn about the next chapter of this adventure of my mother's family. William pulls over on the side of the road and pulls his phone from his pocket he dials a number. Hey Draven, can you get the SOA tour bus loaded with General Lee and meet me in Des Moines, Ia ASAP?
William opens the second envelope and sees that its two letters one are from his siblings, and the other is from his mother and the extended family. William folds the letters up and puts them back into his jacket pocket. He heads back onto the road as the scene fades to black…

The next day…
The scene opens with William meeting up with the SOA tour bus as it pulls into Des Moines, Ia. The tour bus pulls into a truck stop and parks. Draven is lowering the door to the trailer and has pulled General Lee from the trailer. William pulls his bike right into the trailer and parks as he walks from the trailer. He walks to General Lee and climbs in.
Dragon: Alright, Draven, I will call you as soon as I figure the stupid scavenger hunt out. I will read my mother's letter before I leave but I think my siblings will have to wait.
Draven: Why are you playing this game with that side of your family? They have always hated the Draconis family. Why are you putting yourself through this?
Dragon: Because once and for all, I'm going to deal with my mother. And her bulls*** about a last name that I have made relevant over the years. Now she acts like her name will mean anything.
William pulls the envelope from his jacket. He pulls both letters from the envelope and a small folded paper falls out. William grabs the folded piece of paper. He sets the letters down in the passenger seat.
" Both letters help you to understand the trip you are taking. The scavenger hunt. Will this hunt show you the truth about your mother's family and the draconis side?"
So William pulls the letters apart and starts to read the letter from his mother and her family. William looks out over the road as he sets the GPS for the Salisbury House.
" Dear William
I know that my first letter might have pissed you off a bit but I hope you still are going to go to the Salisbury Mansion. I believe that this trip will show you the truth about the other side of the family and maybe get you to drop that horrible Draconis last name.
It has been a long time since I have given you a hug or see you and my beautiful grandbabies. I hope after this trip your siblings will be able to get to know the oldest boy of my family like it should always.
My dear William, I was the reason you have the first name, William. That first name gives great pride in my family and my parents and siblings were so sad and hurt when you left and started following your deadbeat father and took his god-forsaken last name.
P.S.
You still will have to read your siblings later before this adventure is over. My dear boy we will be seeing each other real soon.
Dragon: What do you plan on teaching me, mother? I took this path because I was sick of hearing how our father did you so wrong when I learn from his side of the family that it was you and him doing f****d up things to each other. So this sob story is not working but I will go on this little adventure. But understand dear mother I am the reason the Draconis name means anything not my father. It was all me and the path I chose for myself.
William drives General Lee as it heads down the road. He pulls up to a large cast iron gate. The gate swings open as the General Lee pulls on slowly as the scene fades to black…..
