‘I can hear it too!’ Sophie said suddenly. ‘That’s not one car. It sounds like a convoy of trucks! Do you think HAZMAT are on the way?’

We rushed back the way we had come and climbed up the steep, rocky bank together, bent over double so we wouldn’t be seen. Away from the noise of the river, the sound of trucks grew louder.

‘There!’ Sophie said, pointing to the opposite bank, where a line of lights coming from the mainland was approaching the bridge. As the trucks drove under the streetlights, the HAZMAT logo on the side of each vehicle flashed into view. ‘It is HAZMAT! They’ve come to help!’ Sophie gave a little squeal and started jumping up and down.

‘Let’s go over and ride back into Seabrook with them,’ I suggested. ‘We can explain the situation on the way.’

We didn’t bother with the bikes and instead started jogging across the bridge.

‘They’ve seen us!’ cried Sophie as the convoy stopped just before the bridge. ‘They’re waiting for us over there.’

We sped up. When we were almost in the middle, there was a flash of fire once . . . twice . . . from up ahead. Two bright spots, like massive stars, drifted up into the night sky.

Sophie and I skidded to a stop to watch as the lights rose high above us.

‘What are they?’ I said.

‘They look like fireworks,’ breathed Sophie.

The lights seemed to hover in the air for a few seconds, then they turned and raced down, toward the bridge. It took me a few seconds to figure it out, but just before they hit, I realised what was happening. The bridge was being bombed — not by Mr Bill, but by HAZMAT!
