CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

TROUBLE INDEED

Keeping a close watch all around us, the gang and I headed straight for our headquarters. With something as valuable as what we were carrying, we needed to get it to safety as quickly as possible.

“Can you believe how crazy everyone is acting?” Plasma Girl said.

“Why wouldn’t they?” Tadpole responded. “We have the most valuable object ever in the entire history of the known universe.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s that valuable,” I countered.

“Of course it is,” said Stench. “You heard Miss Marble. She said it was worth a fortune.”

“She also said it could cause us a lot of trouble,” I pointed out. “So let’s be careful with it.”

As soon as we got to the tree house—I mean, headquarters—we climbed up and pulled the ladder in behind us. Taking our usual seats on the couch and chairs, we set the card down on the table between us. All of us just stared at it for at least five minutes, not saying a word. Finally, Tadpole broke the silence.

“Do you think it will be safe here?” he said.

“Safe?” Stench said, clearly insulted. “Of course it will be safe. No one’s ever gotten into this place that I didn’t want to get in.”

“You tell him, bro’.”

We all spun around, and there was Stench’s annoying older brother, Fuzz Boy. He must have come in before us and been hiding in the kitchen. I noticed that he was also now sporting a goatee that he must have created himself. As much as he’d like to think otherwise, he’s not old enough to shave yet.
