39 Clues: The Sword Thief

                 "The Hook"


''They were toast. Amy Cahill eyed the battered black duffel bag rumbling up the airport conveyor belt. It bulged at the corners. The sign above the belt said Thank You For Visiting Venice: Random Pieces Of Checked Luggage Will Be Searched in five languages. '' Oh great,'  Amy said.  '' How random is ' random?' ' I told you, a ninja warrior must always keep his swords in his carry-on.''( page 1)    

''Stop them'' Dan and Amy ran toward the tunnel,shouting as loud as they could. 'Boarding passes, per favore?' he asked, his face a mix of bafflement and annoyance. Amy watched helplessly as Ian and Natalie slipped into the tunnel's long shadow. They could hear the planes hatch shut with a dull thump. 'They're- they're the Kabras!' Dan said. Evil Kabras. Famoso, evillo, Kabritos! They are holding our au pair hostage!''(page 9)
