I dont own any of these charecters! Sorry it took me so long to come up with this chapter. The next one should be up soon!

Isadora and Duncan stood there overwelmed by the vast amount of eagles that had perched on just about every surfacing part of the floating structure, but what scared them them even more was the very scary sight of seeing two other people on board with two eagles perched on there shoulders. They were wearing blue suits with think padding on the shoulders so that the eagles could stand there. They had a very scary aroua of meanice but the thing that scared them the most was not the eagles, or the two people, but the sight of Hector being slowly elevated into the air by two eaglees carrying him there.

Duncan finally asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?".

Isadora then shouted, "Were is Hector?". The two sinister people only cackled a sinister laugh as they walked slowly walked towards the Quagmires.

The Quagmires were about to run when they suddenly found that there feet were rooted to the ground, leterally. They couldn't move because of the eagles holding there feet down to there floor with their sharp claws. Though the Quagmires were in very good shape for thirteen year old kids, there were not able to move their feet. The stood their helplessly watching Hector being dangled in the air like a little kid teasing his cat.

Finally the women who had hair but no beard said, "I believe you have something that's ours." Isadora stood their dumb struck because as far as she knew, they had nothing that belonged to these meanicing people, but Duncan did. Duncan did know what they were talking about. Then the man said, "Oh come on little boy, its not to hard to tell us were the sugar bowl is." Isadora gave him a surprised look and then said, "You know were the sugar bowl is?". Duncan replied, "Yes, I-I-I kne-knew where it was all along."

"And you never told us about it?".

Duncan replied, "I didn't..I wasent thinking straight. I-"

The women interupted Duncan and said, "Enough talking boy, give us the sugar bowl." Duncan said, "Its not here, and even if it was I wouldnt give it to dispicible people like you!"

"Then we'll drop Hector out of the air and then he will land in the shaking waters of the Briney Beach nenith us, but of course he would never survive such a fall."

"If you drop Hector, then I'll never tell you where the sugar bowl is."

"If you don't tell us where the sugar bowl is, then well drop Hector."

"If you drop Hector I'll never tell you were it is!"

Then the man yelled, "Stop! You idiots, don't you see? An argument can go on like this forever!" Then he blew his silvery whistle, very similar to the one Coach Ginghies had back at Prufrock Prep, and as he blew into the whistle a very shrill highpiched sound came out and as soon as it did, the three eagles who were carrying hector didn't drop him, but flew away with Hector in their talons.

Duncan and Isadora then shouted together, "Hector- Hecto" They were interupet by another shrill blow of the whistle and on comand the eagles were no longer holding down the Quagmires, but they relized, it didn't matter. They had nowere to run. They werent about to just jump of of the structure. They had no were to go.

The man said, "Mabey this will help you think a little better boy. I said tell us where the sugar bowl is! Now!". But by the time the women was about to threaten Duncan any longer, Duncan was already halfway up the roof of the house and climbing up to the hot air baloon part of the house and was aatempting to rip the fabric so that the self sustaianing hot air home would lower itself to the ground. The Women then man and Isadora all looked up at Duncan as if he was a mainiac.

Then Isadora yelled up to Duncan, "What are you doing!?!". Duncan replied, "Iam trying to make the ballon lower us so we can get to the meeting and retreve the sugar bowl befor they do!" The Women gave the man a sinister look and they both just stood there next to Isadora, and blew there whistles. All of the eagles flew up in the and carried the Man and Women with them, but the didn't fly far, they just flew of of the hot air mobile home and were seemlesly floating next to it as if they were the auduence watching an interest talk wating for something to happen.

Isadora then said, "Dun-"but befor she could finish her sentence Duncan had already finished ripping the first balloon. The hot air mobile home jerked to one side because of the ballon on that side being ripped so it could no longer float properly. Isadora fell to the other side of the hot air home, and fell over the edge.

I really do hate to stop in the middle of a very interesting part of the book. I am sure you are very eager to know if Isadoa survives the fall or not but I must warn you. DO NOT READ ON! Do something else please, but just don't read the rest of this book! It will only bring you sadness and sorrow. If you must continue reading this book, please atleast skip the rest of this chapter! Go skip to a chapter less horrific and scary like on of the other chapters were the Buadelairs and find a friend who they miss very much, or at least the middle Baudelair missed very much. Or you could just skip the whole book all together and avoid the treachery that lays ahead! But now, back to the story.

Isadora screamed, "Duncan!", as she fell through the air. Duncan yelled back, "Isadora!" He quikly jumped down from the roof but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was watch Isadora fall throgh the air. Sudenly Isadora stopped falling. She had landed in a giant net suspended by the errie eagles. She screamed again, "Duncan!", but she was to far down for Duncan to see her let alone hear her. Duncan was under the impression that Isadora had fallen to her death as the eagles and the evil people flew away. It was all his fault. He didnt mean to do it. He was all alone now. No Hector, no Isadora, and also as it had been for a very long time, no Buadelairs. The eagles had left now but he knew that they would be back for him now that he was the only surviving Quagmires who would be able to inherrit the saphires. He craawled up into a little ball and started to cry. He was just trying to help. He didn't know what to do. He was all alone now. Hector was gone, the Buadelaires were gone, his parents and now both of his siblings were gone.
