CHAPTER 9

Zak was so startled that he didn’t cry out. He blinked, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him.

They weren’t. The plaza beneath the administration building was empty.

The crowds had vanished. “They’re gone,” he said in pure astonishment.

“They’re all just gone.”

“Who’s gone?” Tash asked.

“Everyone!” he said, pointing out the window. Tash and Lando rushed to the window. As far as the eye could see, the streets were empty.

Hologram Fun World was deserted.

“See!” Zak insisted. “I told you something was going on here.” He turned to Danna Fajji and demanded, “What happened to everyone?”

Fajji stammered, “Please-please, I assure you, no one has been harmed…”

Lando glowered. “Zak may be right about this place after all. I think you’ve got some explaining to do, Fajji.”

The chubby man tugged at his red heard. “Master Calrissian, I’m afraid I do owe you an explanation.” He sighed. “You see, business at Hologram Fun World has not been as good lately as it could be. We haven’t had many visitors. And when the park is so empty, the people that do come feel less excited about being here. So in order to make the park appear full, we-”

“You created holographic visitors,” Tash guessed.

“Exactly,” Fajji confessed. “We do have a few real visitors in Fun World, but most of the crowds you’ve seen today-they’re computer-generated images.”

“I knew it,” Deevee sniffed.
