      “Seriously, Muriel, what have you done with the chicks? They must be here somewhere.”

      Seeing how anxious she looked, Muriel guessed what had happened… and her beak stretched into a nasty grin.

      “Oh my cod! You’ve lost Oo-Chi and Ku-Chi, haven’t you, Bloop?” she sneered. “Paulie is so going to kill you.”

      “No, he’s going to kill me,” said Rory.

      “And when he does, I’m having Rory’s snowboard,” announced Eddie cheerfully.
