CHAPTER 11

HEAPS OF TROUBLE

It was a good thing the dirt wall was just a hologram—a 3-D illusion. It wasn’t really there.

Larryboy ejected from the Larrysled as it soared through the hologram wall and entered an underground room of some sort. The caped cucumber landed in a huge heap of garbage, while the rocket-sled bored through another mound of trash, hit a real wall … and exploded.

“Larryboy! Are you OK?” shouted a frantic Archie over the radio.

“Just fine, Archie. But I’m afraid your Larrysled has seen its last slope. Where am I?”

Larryboy glanced around, knowing that Archie could see through the camera mounted on his helmet.

It was an enormous, brightly lit room, filled with many mounds of moldering garbage. Millions of flies danced around the trash. (They were doing the jitterbug.) It was a good thing that Larryboy’s helmet hadn’t cracked, because the smell in the room was enough to stun a full-grown yak with sinus problems.

“My computer shows that the room is connected to Awful Alvin’s lair,” said Archie. “This must be where Alvin stores the garbage that he stuffs into his tunnels.”

“Why does he even bother stuffing his tunnels with trash?”

“To keep people out. You’d have to be incredibly foolish to enter tunnels packed with foul garbage.”

“Gee thanks, Archie.”

“You know what I mean.”

Larryboy scanned the huge room. “I don’t see the Abominable Trashman down here,” said Larryboy. “So what do I do now?”

Before Archie could answer, all of the lights in the room suddenly went off, plunging Larryboy into darkness.

“What happened, Larryboy? Have I lost the video feed?”

“No. But I’ve lost all light. I don’t like this, Archie. It’s downright creepy.”

“Use the flashlight mounted on top of your helmet. And remember what Bok Choy told you. It’s OK to be afraid. Just don’t be a slave to your fear. Keep your head.”

“I plan to. It’s the only one I’ve got.”
