A/N:

'Ello, folks. It's Maj Enn again, presenting you the words of Techo, (plus a small, complimentary, serving of her own words too, which everyone finds annoying, eh?).

I ought to have updated the day after chapters 2 and 3, but I forgot… but Techo reminded me. Here you guys go.

DISCLAIMER: We don't own the 39 Clues. None of it. Except maybe the one that came out on Groundhog's Day… Nah.


Who's that Japanese Boy?

After Nellie had argued, complained, and screamed with and at the hotel manager like a crazy girl, the manager let them in – even though the poor Japanese woman didn't know English.

Dan kept staring at a Japanese kid who had a rubber-band gun.

Ha! Amy thought. Now he wants a rubber-band gun!

She looked around.

Fantastic! she thought.

On one side of the room, a bunch of digital clocks told the time for every time zone. She searched for Italy's. It was 12:03 a.m.! From what her senses told her, Amy knew she was tired. She had thought that it was 11:32 p.m. or something.

She was about to sit back down and passed the manager's desk when the Japanese boy with the rubber-band gun shot. He hit something alright.

BAM! The beautiful flower vase the hotel manager had on her desk was knock over, sent flying toward Amy, and struck her with a whole lot of force on the forehead.

She blacked out. The last thing she saw was Nellie rushing up to her, trying to get her up.


Techo's A/N: Please do not flame this chapter. I do not mean to be racist.

Maj Enn's explanation:

…well, the digital clock stuff was inspired by us actually visiting Japan once. We were at this hotel at 2:03 a.m. or something and saw this map of the world with clocks in all these time zones.

The rubber-band gun is like a slingshot or something… and pretty powerful. Just wait and see what else it can do.

I suppose everyone hates the sister/editor/secretary for making A/N's even longer than the actual story, but OH, WELL. Techo can't fire me, mwahaha.

R&R, says Techo.

(But who listens to him?)

(A lot of people, hopefully…)

iMAJ ENN

and Techo, the Brillant.
