I hit the booster on the sub, and we took off like a bolt. Dad cried out like a baby. The sub didn’t seem to have the force it usually had. I didn’t fully understand what was going on until I saw the suckers stuck to my side of the sub. We were being attacked by a giant squid!

“You have an incoming call,” Saunders said.

“We have our hands full right now,” I said.

“It’s your school,” added Saunders.

I should have ignored the call, but I put it through. Cindy’s face appeared on the screen. “Why aren’t you back at school yet, Benji?” she asked.

“Hello to you too, Cindy. I’m kind of in a sticky situation right now!” I shouted.

“Looks to me like you’re on some kind of adventure ride. Are you on vacation at Sea World?”

“I’m in my sub being attacked by a giant squid!”

“Sure,” she said, “and I’m orbiting Mars on a pink unicorn.”

The squid had completely wrapped itself around the sub. I knew that they sometimes battle with whales and thought we might be gonners.

“I’m serious!” I exclaimed. “We’re in my submarine, and there’s a giant squid attacking us!”

The squid turned the sub over, trying to find a way to pry it open. It was a good thing Dad and I were strapped in, or we’d have been knocked out.

“You’re serious! I’m stuck here at school, and you’re off having the most amazing adventure ever!”

“Maybe you don’t understand the meaning of the word attacked!” I shouted.

“I’d give anything to be attacked by a giant squid,” Cindy groaned. “I did my animal report on them last quarter. Do you remember it?”

“No,” I said. “But if you’re such an expert on them, why don’t you help me out a little?”

She looked annoyed that I didn’t remember her project, and I thought she was going to hang up, but then she said, “They’re creatures of the deep and live in total darkness. Try turning on every light you have. Shine some directly into its eyes if you can.”
