“Zeeeeeeeekie!” I screamed.

But Zeek didn’t answer. He didn’t budge. He didn’t even breathe. Squiggly blue lines of electricity sizzled all over him.

He was covered with ice crystals. His Danger Guy jacket, his mask, his ski pants.

Everything was frosty and white.

I stumbled over to him. Dr. Chill just kept giggling to himself. “Your friend is very … how do you children say it—cool!” He laughed.

I couldn’t believe it. Zeek was frozen stiff.

There was a dark blast hole right through his Danger Guy jacket. Chill’s Freez-Beamer had shot straight at his heart.

“Zeek?” I whispered right to his face. “Can you hear me?”

Nothing. No answer. He didn’t move at all.

Me and my stupid old boots!

A big lump swelled in my throat. My friend was frozen, my best friend in the whole world.

I brushed some ice crystals off his jacket.

Zeek stared past me. His eyes were glassy. His fingers were cold, stiff, and spread out, like one of those mime guys trapped in an invisible box.

I started to get really mad.

Dr. Chill must have known what I was thinking, because he flipped a switch and that claw thing swung over and grabbed me. Zzzzt! It picked me up in the air—and stopped. I dangled.

Chill laughed, sneezed, and went back to the huge Melt-O-Ray’s controls. He aimed the barrel at Uggo and the other cavemen.

This is impossible, I thought. It’ll never work.

Slowly Chill pushed a giant lever forward and the red coils started to glow. “Live again, my giant Neanderthals!”

KA-ZAP!

A powerful red blast flashed at the cavemen. They sizzled all over. They began to drip.

But what if it did work? I looked over at Zeek, all frosty and still. Maybe Chill could do it. I could see it all now. “Monster Cavemen Destroy Peaceful City!”

I imagined Uggo and his pals marching down Main Street with their giant clubs. I shuddered.

KA-ZAAAP! The second blast hit the Neanderthals. Small pools of water spread out on the floor. The cavemen were starting to slide a little on the icy floor.

“Yes!” Chill laughed. “Even now they begin to live! One more blast, and it’s Byebye, Mayville!”

It was only a matter of seconds now. The Melt-O-Ray was rumbling. In fact, the whole laboratory was rumbling. The computers were sizzling and sputtering. The lab was heating up.

“This whole place is going to blow!” I cried. Then it hit me. The avalanche that nearly killed us had been caused by Dr. Chill and his stupid ray gun! One more avalanche like that and—the lodge would be destroyed! Zeek’s family!

No way! Chill had already frozen my best friend. I couldn’t let him get Zeek’s family, too!

It came to me in an instant. Dr. Chill must be stopped. I didn’t know how I would ever pull it off, but I had to try. I was the only one left.

I had to do it. For Zeek.

The Melt-O-Ray got louder and hotter. The final blast was coming. It had to be now.

I scanned Zeek’s face. Even though I knew he couldn’t see me, I gave him a thumbs-up.
