Earthquake Escape — page 8 — CHAPTER 2 GEARED UP We Inside the helicopter Ben and Zoe strapped on their seatbelts and pulled on their headsets The pilot's familiar face peered back at the twins Good morning she said As you can see your uncle has another job for you Zoe sniffed the air smelling a familiar scent Their uncle had designed the helicopter to run on chicken manure It was environmentally friendly but it smelled awful

Earthquake Escape — page 9 — Nice to see you again Erika said Zoe plugging her nose Where’s Uncle Stephen sending us this time I can’t tell you that Erika said She smiled and passed Zoe an envelope Although Erika was their uncle’s second-in-command and she had all the information he did she knew their eccentric uncle would want to explain their mission to them personally Ben snatched the envelope from Zoe and plunged his hand inside I bet I know what’s inside he said Another glass eye Zoe nodded A message explaining the next rescue mission you mean she agreed Sure enough a glass eye fell from the envelope into Ben’s hand What kind of animal has an eye like this
