Chapter Three
Jeannie paced in the living room of the Nelson home. Her son, Tony Jr., was late coming home from school.
Three-thirty, she thought, looking at her watch. Anthony should be home by now.
Jeannie disappeared …
… Only to reappear in the throne room of Haji, King of the Genies.
"Great Haji!" Jeannie exclaimed, hurriedly bowing before Haji.
"You seek your son," said Haji.
"Yes!" Jeannie exclaimed. "Has something happened to him?"
"We have a crisis on our hands," said Haji solemnly. "You know the Eye of Selos?"
"I worked with it for a time when I was younger," Jeannie replied. "What does this have to do with my son?"
"The Eye … has reappeared," said Haji. "The Blue Jinn possesses it."
Oh, no, Jeannie thought. "What of Anthony?"
"The Blue Jinn … has your son," said Haji.
"Where are they?"
"The Eye, The Blue Jinn, and your son … are on the very island in the South Pacific where your … erm, Colonel Nelson … first found you."
"I will go there at once!" said Jeannie. With that, she folded her arms in front of her chest, blinked, and disappeared.
