“We must find Sensei Wu,” said Zane. “He must be informed.”

“Right,” snapped Kai. “And when he finds out why it happened, we’ll be packing to go back home. No, we have to solve it ourselves. So let’s think about the first clue: ‘look where moss grows.’ Any suggestions?”

“Trees?” offered Jay. “We’re in a forest, maybe he is trying to tell us Cole is still nearby.”

Zane frowned. “Too obvious. As a clue, that would tell us nothing at all.”

“Moss grows on trees. We’re surrounded by trees,” Kai said. “Doesn’t give us much of a direction.”

Zane’s expression suddenly brightened. “Direction? Kai, I think you have figured out the clue.”

“I did?”

“Where does moss grow? Moss grows on the north side of trees,” said Zane. “That means he’s taken Cole somewhere to the north of here.”

“All right, here’s what we do —” Kai began.

“Wait a minute,” Jay interrupted. “It was your idea to make a trap for the Phantom Ninja, and look what happened. Now we’ll try things my way.”

Kai wheeled on Jay, with anger flashing on his features. “And what way is that?”

“I can build something that can track the Phantom Ninja. Just give me some time, and —”

Zane cut him off. “Time is not something we have, Jay. What is needed is the same kind of analysis I just used to decode the clue.”

“You said I figured out the clue!” said Kai.

Zane nodded. “You provided a direction, quite unknowingly, but it was my knowledge of the forest that —”

“Enough!” yelled Jay. The other two ninja turned to look at him. “We only have a day to find Cole. Let’s not waste it arguing. We’ll head north, and when we find him, we can each come up with our own plan to save him. Okay?”

Zane and Kai nodded their agreement. Together, the three ninja set off in silence into the north woods. Although they were a team, they had never felt less like one. Yet no one wanted to be the first to admit it.
