I loved these stories but I was still sad about my medal. While we were traveling the glove compartment popped open and a note fell out saying "If you find this I have stolen your medal and I'm located across a lake in a shack good luck finding me!"

We looked across all the lakes until there was one choice left we traveled across Russia to lake Baikal and ........ FOUND THE SHACK!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited I ran inside but all I found was a note saying " HAHAHA FOOLED YOU IM HARDER TO FIND THAN THAT!!!!!!!!" This made me so upset I went around the room looking for clues then I found it, a map that had red lines all around it I guessed this was the path to my medal.

We went back to lake Baikal and dug underneath the shack to find a lab where my old friend was with my medals sitting right next to him. When he saw me he said "You finally finished my scavenger hunt here is your prize!" He handed me my medals and gave me a hug. He said it was good to see me and sorry for any stress he caused but he wanted to see me so bad. He went home to his family and I got my medals back. Russia did a test to see if there was oil beneath the lab and there was in the end it was all fine!!
