Red Pyramid

Since my last post, the conflict has been increased. Sadie and Carter were brought to a museum by their dad. While they were there, their dad told them to lock up the manager, and by the time they finished, he had started writing some glowing symbols on the Rosetta Stone which they had on display there. A strange man then appeared, with a fiery face and ghostlike features. He locked up Carter's dad and made him disappear beneath the ground. Then, the strange man tried to attack Carter, but when he saw Carter up close, he said he'd be back soon, and he left. Next, Carter and Sadie were interrogated by the police, who didn't believe the story. This, I'm beginning to believe, will be one of the main conflicts. It's very similar to a problem in the Percy Jackson series by the same author, where Percy loses his mother and spends a lot of the story trying to find her. I guess that is just the author's way of writing, and I personally like it. Having read Riordan's other series, I would highly recommend all of his books.
