The cleaner, Leonardo, came into the president's office in the White House, looking around and observing the furniture the president had placed there. As usual, Leonardo turned on the vacuum he had brought along with him and started brushing the carpet. The loud droning noise that vacuums make has always annoyed Leonardo but picking between earning money and going homeless, he'd pick the money. Soon, Leonardo got out his "all-purpose" spray and a clean rag to clean the president's desk. Every week he would wipe all over the desk, taking away every speck of dust. But today, something caught his eye.
"Huh? What's this?" muttered Leonardo curiously. He had seen an iron latch underneath the president's desk. He checked his digital watch, checking when he was supposed to finish cleaning up. "It's 10:30 now so that means I've only got 20 minutes." he said to himself. Slowly, Leonardo undid the latch. Suddenly, he heard a loud knock and looked to his right. It was a compartment. The compartment was very dusty and as it was opened, a huge spray of dust had covered Leonardo's face and made him sneeze loudly.
Cautiously, he felt inside the compartment and seemed to pick up a piece of papyrus. Excited, he took it out and discovered it was actually a scroll. There was a little red velvet bow delicately tied around it. Leonardo curiously undid the bow and the scroll unrolled itself. Leonardo read the title and felt his eyes go wide open. "Oh-Oh my God!" stuttered Leonardo. Quickly, he grabbed all his equipment and rushed outside the door, scared and afraid of what he just saw.
