The Black Circle - 39 Clues 05

by Patrick Carman

  The next morning, ensconced in a Yekaterinburg hotel with Nellie on her way, Dan made a phone call."You're not driving a monster truck, are you?" Dan asked Hamilton Holt."Not yet, but the day is young.""Got your clue. Are you ready?"

  "I've been ready for two days. Lay it on me.""One gram melted amber.""Dude, that's gross. Who's Amber?"Dan laughed. He could imagine Hamilton Holt grinning on the other side of the line.

  Eisenhower grabbed the phone and yelled into it."Don't think this means anything. We're done partnering! Siberia and back was a raw deal and you know it. You used us!""Okay, Mr. Holt, whatever you say. Game on.""Game on!" Amy agreed.
