Suddenly the radio started up: “FBI report FBI report, the crash of airline’s 15th plane, airplane 15, Hand in Hand, was caused by somebody, I repeat, somebody, villain or not quite as bad as villain, the crash was caused by humans.” “Sylvia!” cried Lee, “write in script now, here’s paper and a pen. Now I’ll tell you what to write.” It said:
Dummy, did you cause the airplane crash? Answer or else we’ll use the mirror on you. Answer!
Signed,
Anne, Lee, Sylvia,
and Lisette
They put the note on the doorstep of the Red Romer’s den.
