        Alex's POV
    The note read: "Snack sized water, 7:30 PM -Black Bear" Black Bear was Floyd's code name! But snack sized water? Oh! He is talking in a sort of code. By snack sized water, he must mean a little body of water. I check the map. There is a river called Little River! That's what he means. I look at my spy watch. 5:43. I better get going. Little River is all the way across the island from where I am now.

I get to Little River with three minutes to spare. I look around for Floyd. No sign of him. I hear something rustle in the bushes behind me. I whirl around and out of the bushes pops Floyd Stencil himself. "Floyd! You had me so worried!  What happened?" "Well, I was looking for some water, just like you asked me to, and then, all of a sudden, I felt myself falling. And of course, I was thinking "What?!" But then I felt a cold, wet, hard ground beneath me. Of course, I was out for a few minutes because I wasn't expecting the impact, but then, when I came to, I started looking around. And then I realized that I was in a sort of cave. I also saw all these little secret door things. That's what I assumed I had fallen through. I realized that I had   triggered one of the doors to open. I also realized that I could trigger them from the inside. Come on and I'll show you." So he led her to a pile of leaves, kicked a few away from the pile, then stomped. And sure enough, down they fell.
