“It’s one thing being able to get away from those men like we did, but it’s quite another forcing them to leave the island,” said Flynn.

The two boys had stopped to rest, eat a snack, and take a drink of water.

“You’re right. But that was a lot of fun,” replied Paddy.

“I say we do it again!”

“I think we might want to look at the rest of these pictures first, and find out exactly what they’re planning,” said Flynn. He pulled from his pockets the folded pages and Scorpion’s device – the boys had heard the men calling it a ‘phone’.

It was exactly the same as the other one.

“Let me see that,” said Paddy, and took the phone off Flynn. He pushed the button at the bottom and it lit up. “Good, it looks like this one might last a while. The little rectangle is almost full – see?”

All of a sudden, the phone in Paddy’s hand began to vibrate and make a loud beeping noise. The boys had never heard anything like it in their lives. Coco growled and backed away. Paddy threw it to the ground in alarm. Flynn saw he was about to stomp on it and managed to grab him just in time.

“Wait! What did you do?” asked Flynn.

“Nothing! I swear,” protested Paddy. “It just started buzzing all by itself.”

The boys stood watching the phone, buzzing and beeping on the ground between them. Flynn was ready to either run away or smash it to pieces at the first sign of trouble. But it just lay there, buzzing and beeping.

The brothers crept closer to look at the screen.

“There’s a green arrow moving from one side to the other on the front of it,” said Paddy. “I think it wants us to move our finger over it.”

“I don’t think we should touch…”

But it was too late. Paddy had swiped at the green arrow and the buzzing and beeping abruptly stopped.

“There. I’ve stopped it. What a relief!”

As silence once again descended upon the forest, Flynn now heard another noise… very faintly.

“Can you hear something else?” he asked, tilting his head to one side.

“I think so,” said Paddy. “It sounds like when there’s a mosquito in our bedroom at night.”

Paddy moved closer to the phone and Flynn saw his eyes widen with surprise.

“It’s coming from this! It sounds like someone speaking!”

The boys both immediately tried to get their ears as close as possible to the phone, banging their heads together in the process.

“Ouch,” said Flynn. “Clumsy fool!”

“Speak for yourself,” replied Paddy, rubbing his sore head.

More carefully this time, they brought their ears as close as possible to the phone on the ground. Sure enough, Flynn could make out the angry voice of a man.

“He doesn’t sound very happy,” he said.

“How is this even possible?” marvelled Paddy, picking up the phone. The boys stood side by side, with the phone sandwiched between their ears. Now they could both clearly hear what the man was saying.

“What have you done with my men?” the angry voice asked.
