Chapter Eight

Sydney Opera House

“These fish and chips are awesome!” exclaimed Kathryn.

Isabelle gave a snort of disgust. It still amazed her how her sister could eat at a time like this. She was nervous enough that food was the furthest thing from her mind but Kathryn had insisted on trying out the famous Australian fish and chips while they were waiting.

The Jones sisters were standing on the quieter eastern side of the Monumental Steps, a great stairway nearly 100 metres wide, which led up to the two main halls of the Sydney Opera House. They didn’t bother disguising themselves as tourists. The Claw already knew who they were.

Isabelle fidgeted with her new S.P.Y. communicator’s earpiece. It was designed to let her hear instructions from S.P.Y. headquarters and exchange messages with other agents. Kathryn had a similar device in her right ear.

“It is already ten past five,” worried Isabelle. “There is still no sign of The Claw or Dr. Peter.”

“You worry too much. They will be here. Ivan wants to get his hands on these two villains,” replied Kathryn as she glanced behind them. Jack and Don were sitting on the steps with unhappy looks on their faces. The two villains hated the idea of the prisoner exchange, but they had no choice. They had to do what the Jones sisters told them to do.

Maybe The Claw suspected the sisters were planning a trap for him.

He is not that far from the truth, thought Isabelle. There were S.P.Y. agents all around them — either in hiding or disguised in plain sight — ready to spring into action and help capture the evil villain on her signal.

“Any sign?” came Father’s voice over the S.P.Y. communicator.

“Nothing yet, Father,” replied Isabelle softly.

“This is ridiculous!” burst out Jack as he stood up in anger. “He is not coming. Let’s go. We are like sitting ducks out here.”

“We are going to wait.” Kathryn said firmly. She stared coldly at Jack until he cursed and reluctantly sat down again.

Isabelle scanned the crowd, trying her best to spot if The Claw was hiding amongst the many tourists walking around the area. He was nowhere in sight.

She checked her pocket to see if the piece of the Emerald Stone she had found earlier was still there. She was afraid to leave it anywhere else. It would not be safe.

Her inspection was interrupted by a loud vvvrrrrrrroooomm as a powerful cruiser boat pulled up at the Sydney Opera House Wharf. At the bow of the boat was Dr. Peter, with his hands bound behind his back. He looked pretty beaten up. He had obviously put up a fight while being held hostage. The Claw was holding on to his captive’s arm tightly with an evil grin.

“Jones!” shouted The Claw when he saw Isabelle watching them from the steps. “Did you bring them?”

“You will have to come up here and see for yourself,” Isabelle told him. “Bring Dr. Peter with you or else the deal is off!” She needed to draw him away from the boat if they were to have any chance of catching him.
