The Tano family adventures.

Chapter 24: Trap preparing.

"Alright, so how do we trap... whoever's after the book?"

I rolled my eyes and shrugged. "I'm not the captain here."

"Well, your older, so your in charge."

"No, you are!"

It was someone's bright idea to leave a few of us where we were so we could make a trap, in case someone suspicious looking came along, while the rest of us went after whoever's after the family book.

That was the brilliant idea of Zack's.

"Ugh!" I groaned, throwing the datapad down.

Zack saw this and walked over. "You won't get much done doing that."

I rolled my eyes, "Well, what do you suggest, hotspot?"

"Hotspot?"

"Ugh!" I groaned again, "I meant to say hotshot! My grammar's horrible today!"

"Well," Zack smiled, "You could be doing worse. You could be like Arianza. She just broke three of my datapads."

Arianza, on the other side of the camp we set up, was yelling, holding a datapad in the air. "You horrible, mindless, machine!"

Then she threw it down hard.

"Make that four broken!" Kari commented, then went back to what she was doing.

"No duh!" Zack yelled back.

"We are so bad at this," I sighed. "But it was your idea."

"I know, I know."

"Hey, Aria!" I called.

Her response was, "No! I'm busy!"

"What did you do?" I asked, walking over to her.

"I looked on the holonet."

"And what did it say?"

"Something as nice as you would say, Sabrina."

"That can't be good," Kari smirked.

"I asked it how to think of a good idea," Arianza continued.

"And?" I asked.

"It told me to get a brain."

"Then it's nice to you. I would have said you need to get some creativity."

"Wow, aren't you a loving sister."

I smiled. "Yes. Yo, Zack! Could you get something from your-"

"Zack Wren's Bag-O-Tricks is open for a limited time only! Pick a card, any card!"

I looked inside and chuckled. "Zack, you don't have any cards in here."

He grinned. "I know. It sounded like a cool line to say."

"That better be the only type of line you say."

"How come?"

"If you use any pick-up lines on me, I'll punch you in the face."

"Got it, Brin," Zack replied. "But you should know I have my own ways."

"Oh, I'm sure."

"Finished!" Kari suddenly cheered.

"Really?" I asked, walking over to her.

"Yeah!"

"Let me see if this is worthy," Zack said, faux thoughtfully.

"What?"

"Another line?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yep!"

We looked over the trap, but we were confused.

"I set up a secret camera in the tree. If any suspicious looking person comes by, the hidden automatic slingshot will shoot a tiny scanner on the guy, and the information will show up on my datapad. And all the while he or she will be tied up."

We were silent for a minute.

"Whoa," Zack finally said. "Your awesome."

Then my comlink beeped. My eyes went wide as I replied.

I turned it off and looked back toward my friends. "Guys, we have a problem. Code 4. I repeat, code 4."

A/N: I have no ideas.
