Chapter 1
Off to Cloncurry
The announcement went off for the third time.
‘Ding-dong! The flight CR5O2 is due in two
minutes’ time. I groaned inwardly. How many
times were they going to say this before I lost my
head? It was frustating sitting there listening to a
great big heap of lies and not knowing what the
real truth was.
At last, the bell sounded for all the passengers
to board the plane. I sighed with relief. Well, the
plane had certainly took a long time to reach
here! I picked up my bag, walked through the
tunnels and directly boarded the CR502.
Cont. chapter 1
The woman and her child weaved their
way in through the busy streets of
Cloncurry. Once the coast was clear, they
made their way straight for the airport.
“Quick, quick!” urged the girl excitedly.
We’ll meet my uncle and aunt for the first
time!”
But when she came to the arrival
section, all that attracted her attention
was the faint greenish glow that had
started to come from my bag.

Trekker’s Hotel
We had to just sit there and let the ceremony pass in front
of our very eyes. John’s voice, as it appeared, wasn’t as
furious as I expected it would be, but rather calm and
relaxed: “I know you had no choice. But we have another
Chance. “What?” I yelped. “Yes,” answered John soothing-
ly. “I watched the ceremony. And guess what! ACUTA HAS
LOST THE MARBLE! So we could actually search the
place that surrounds the cellars for it!”
“Hurray!” I cried. We danced and danced, until it was
time to sleep.
