Bob and Tony followed the scavenger hunt clues and it led them to this painting on the wall.
“What in the world?” Tony asked.
“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact,” Bob replied. “Don’t you see, it’s not the picture we are looking for, it’s what’s behind it.
This weeks phrase: “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Boscombe Valley Mystery
This story was written for the 50 word Thursday challenge, this week hosted by Teresa , The Haunted Wordsmith.

Nice seeing Bob and Tony together again. And great use of the prompts.
Thanks. I couldn’t help that. Although, I think the conversation may have gone very differently. 😀
Very much so.
“There’s nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.”
Oooh, I love that!
This one rocks, Michele!
Thanks. I know what you mean. Sometimes things are right in front of our faces.
