“It was him! It was him! I saw him, the dead guy, in the box. It was horrible!”

Zeek didn’t get it.

Not right away.

It took him a second. Then he went quiet.

And he looked down.

“Noodle?” he said quietly. “We’re not in the tree house anymore, are we?”

Bingo! He finally got it.

But I didn’t answer him. I was too busy trying to hold on to the tree house roof. Just why I was holding on to it, I didn’t know. It made us fall even faster.

“We’re falling, and we’re going to die!” I screamed.

Suddenly, the sail in the roof puffed up with air. Hot ocean air. We stopped falling so fast. In fact, we stopped falling at all.

The sail caught a breeze and pulled us up. We soared around the tree and up to the left.

“Hey, we’re hang gliding!” I cried.

“You’re gliding, I’m hanging! Pull it up, Noodle!”

I looked down. Zeek was hugging my knees. His feet were kicking through the treetops as we drifted over them.

“Hey,” I called down to him. “You think I like this? I told you I don’t like heights. We wouldn’t even be here if you hadn’t …”

Then he started to wiggle.

“Don’t do that!” I cried.

“I can’t not do it! I’ll fall if I don’t do it! Help! Noodle, I’m slipping!”

Zeek slid down to my ankles.

“Just don’t grab my sneakers,” I yelled. “The laces aren’t—whoa!”

The wind caught us again, and we sailed clear up over the island.

That’s when I saw it.

“Zeekie! Look!”

There, under the blue water, about a hundred feet below the surface, was a long, dark shadow.

Even from way up there I knew what it was.

“Zeek! It’s a ship! It’s Captain May’s ship! We found it. We found it!”

“Uh-huh. That’s nice,” Zeek squeaked. He was still wiggling at my ankles.

But that wasn’t the only thing I saw. There was a campfire smoking on the beach below. And in a cove nearby, some men were moving around. Some of them had scuba diving gear on.

And not only that. A high-powered motorboat came growling into the cove.

Whoosh! A quick breeze pushed us back around and over the trees.

“I knew it, Zeek! I knew something cool would happen. You just have to wait. Talk about different! This is different, all right. It might even be scary, even though scary is not on your list.”

“Noodle? We’re flying a little low.”

“And of course, you can’t really scare Danger Guys. No way.”

“Watch where you’re going, okay?”

“But it might even be getting a little fun. I think it’s getting fun. Do you think it’s getting fun?”

“Noodle, pull it up!”

“Listen, Zeek. It’s pretty clear what we have to do. Those guys are up to no good. And we’ve got to—”

“NOOOOOODLE!”
