Ch. 3: A note

Odd and Ulrich climbed the tree to see if she climbed to some other

place, but she didn't. Ulrich became very nervous. He was looking all

around, when something caught his eye. It was a note, at the top of the

tree. He climbed up to the top branch and grabbed the note, he read it to

Odd. "Odd, I found a note... here's what it says...

Dear Odd, Ulrich and

Jeremy, Yumi has been taken to a safe location. I know about the virtual

world, I know about Xanna, and I know about the factory. We have spies

in the school that followed you and found out.I know that seems wrong,

but look on the bright side...I guarentee you this is nota Xanna

attack.My nickname is Stevie, and computer boy... Jeremy, I believe,

don't even bother trying to find me on the internet, thats not my real

name. I am someone you DON'T want to mess with, so just stay out of

the way, and you'll get your friends back after sugery, and the tests. If

you attemp to snoop around my lab, you will not be spared. We are doing

tests on Aelita, and Yumi, both female, one human, one virtual.We are

looking for different signs of reactions. We are wanting

information,and we know you kids wouldn't just allow us to snoop, and

do tests, so I created a ghostly figure with a mind of it's own to get

Aelita. Sorry about the cunfusion and almost death of a child. I would

have felt liable and would have turned myself in. If any of the two

abducted children die in the tests, I will gladly turn myself in, because I

do not wish for anything bad to happen. What we will be doing, is

nicotine tests, alcohol tests, driving tests, and acid tests. We may do a

few more tests, but those are the basics. Sorry for the shock of the

dissapearence

of Yumi and your computer girl, Aelita.

Your friend,

Stevie.

Odd looked at Ulrich, his mouth gaping. "WHAT!" Ulrich was white,

they were NOT going to come out alive! That stuffis POISON! "Odd!

They are gonna poison Yumi and Aelita!"
