The Cloud Castle

Into the Iceberg

Before we know it, we could see Antarctica below us. 
   "This helicopter is really fast," I remarked. 
   "The E-67 is as fast as a RAT being chased out of a CAT convention," Agent 927 said.
   "I think he needs to work on some new jokes," Pam whispered to Nicky.
   It was dark outside, but in the distance I could see a huge White Iceberg gleaming in the moonlight. The helicopter was flying Dangerously Close to it!
   "We're going to hit it!" cried Colette.
   But out pilot just started calmly ahead.
   We moved Closer and Closer to the iceberg. I was about to grab the controls myself when Agent 927 pushed a button... and a hole opened up in the iceberg!
   The pilot expertly flew the helicopter into the opening, and we dropped into a vertical tunnel.
   "Holey cheese!" yelled a chocked Pam. "We're descending into the iceberg!"
   We were all surprised. The Thea Sisters pressed their noses against the windows so they wouldn't miss a moment of the incredible maneuver. At the bottom of the tunnel I saw a platform with the symbol of the Seven Roses Unit on it. The helicopter landed on it, and the pilot turned off the motor.
   When we stepped out of helicopter, Will Mystery was waiting for us. 
   "Good to see you!" I said.
   "Did you have a good trip?" he asked.
   I looked over at Agent 927. "It was definitely exciting!" I replied.
   "That tunnel is amazing!" said icky. "Is it new?"
   Will nodded. "It's newest entrance. The iceberg is the perfect cover," he said. 
   "And what do you think of the E-67?"
   Pam grinned. "It's as quiet as a RAT sneaking through a CAT convention, and just as fast," she said, and her friends laughed.
   Will shook his head. "You sound like Agent 927."
   "But seriously, it's quite exceptional," said Paulina. "I can't believe how quickly it got us here."
   Colette nodded. "It's a shame we can't use it to travel to the fantasy worlds."
   Will's smile faded. "That reminds me, we must get moving. Please follow me. There is something I need to Show you."
