“They look pretty fierce,” said Beck, staring out the rear window. “A lot fiercer than Frenchy.”

They were also faster.

The Toyota pulled alongside our expedition vehicle, which Tommy had pushed to do over a hundred miles an hour on the bumpy road.

One of the men threw a grappling hook onto the roof of our bucking truck, where it caught onto the satellite dish. The pirate with a machete gripped in his teeth swung over to board us.

“Bick?” Tommy shouted. “Take the wheel!”

“What?”

“Take the wheel. I’m going topside to deal with Captain Hook.”

I jumped into the driver’s seat the instant Tommy jumped out. Then I grabbed hold of the steering wheel and jammed my foot down on the accelerator. Fortunately, the road ahead was a straightaway, because this was basically my first driving lesson. The truck was rocking and rattling so much I thought my teeth might fly out of my head.

In the back, Storm had pulled back the carpet and was working open the hatch on the gun and ammunition compartment.

Tommy was standing on the control console between the two seats up front. He had popped open the moonroof and was reaching out to grab at the pirate’s ankles.

I heard Tommy grunt.

Then I saw the bad guy slide down the windshield, smack our hood, tumble off to the road, and roll into a ditch.
