RECOVERY

When they got back to the manor, the three remaining teams exited the bus.

“The next mission will begin this evening,” Benedict said. “Until then, you’re welcome to enjoy the manor property, so long as you remain in the areas discussed during the tour. Please report to the entryway at seven o’clock this evening, and prepare by bringing all of the gadgets you’ve been provided. You should also make use of the special gear provided in your rooms. Until then, adieu.”

Violet and her siblings went up to their room. She was excited for a chance to try on the utility belt and jacket.

“There are so many pockets in this jacket,” she said. “It would be neat if we win the competition and were able to keep all this spy gear. Just think about how we could use them on our other travels.”

“I wonder what kind of challenge we’ll have tonight,” said Jessie. “By seven o’clock, it’ll be pretty dark.”

“Spies must be able to operate even in the darkest night,” Henry said, using a voice like a secret agent. He chuckled afterward, which didn’t sound very secret at all.

At seven o’clock, the Aldens arrived in the main entryway, dressed in their spy gear. Henry carried the case that contained the drone, the headsets, and the tablet. Benny still wore the sunglasses. He had not taken them off all day because he didn’t want to miss any hidden messages.

Team Two and Team Three joined them. Violet tried not to worry too much about Team Two, even though Chameleon and Leopard looked intimidating dressed in their black spy gear with their serious faces.

“Chameleon, Leopard, Arctic Fox, and Katydid,” said Wi-Fi, the member of Team Three who was just a little older than Violet. “I wonder how they chose their code names. My team chose code names that all had to do with technology…I guess because we’re all a little geeky.” He winked.

“Well, Team Two’s code names are all animals,” Violet said. She tilted her head. “You know, all four of those animals have really excellent camouflage. They’re good at blending in to their surroundings. It’s a skill that’s very useful to a spy.”

Wi-Fi raised both his eyebrows. “That’s a great observation, Agent Amethyst,” he said.

Violet smiled and tapped her temple with a finger. “Observation is another useful spy skill, after all!” she said.

The children fell quiet when Dr. Sharpe walked in. She was dressed in outdoor clothing: durable pants and a black coat similar to the ones the children were wearing. Her headset with the antenna was replaced by a tight black cap and a pair of goggles.

“Good evening, agents,” she said. “Tonight your mission will be recovery. In real life, information can be stolen. If that happens, that data can fall into the wrong hands and put people in danger. Tonight’s mission will test if your team has what it takes to recover stolen information. The first two teams to find and recover the information will advance to the next stage in the competition.
