61 " Of course not,” Catherine replied. “The last time you had a sedation gun, you shot yourself in the foot and slept through your entire mission. "

62 " I noticed Mike sneaking back into the far recesses of the temple. Unfortunately, Catherine noticed him too. “Michael,” she said sternly, “please tell me you’re not heading off to relieve yourself in the temple.” Mike froze, obviously caught in the act. “I’m checking to see if there are any secret passages out of here,” he lied. Catherine sighed heavily. “I understand that this is a dire situation, but I will not have my agents urinating on the antiquities.” “The bad guys are shooting the antiquities!” Mike exclaimed. “I’m just going to pee on them! I’ll bet thousands of ancient Egyptian boys peed on this temple! Maybe it’s really a giant ancient water closet! "
63 " Hey!” Orion yelled angrily at Joshua’s team. “No shooting in my house! Do you have any idea what it will cost to repaint this place? "
64 " Mike and Zoe both gave me worried looks, concerned that our fate was in the hands of a guy who couldn’t even remember how to get through his own house. "
65 " Yes.” Erica removed a small black device from her utility belt and slapped it into my hand. “Laser pointer.” Then she reached under the top of her sleek black outfit. “Erica!” her mother gasped, horrified. “What are you doing?” “We need a way to throw this stone hard,” Erica said. “I’m getting a sling.” With that, she deftly removed her bra. I averted my eyes. “Please,” Erica said. “It’s just underwear. Now, let me know where you need me to throw this.” She dropped the stone into one of her bra cups and began to whirl it around. "
66 " And meanwhile, MI6 is after us too,” Mike observed. “Is there anyone in this country who isn’t trying to capture or kill us?” “Possibly a few shepherds,” Murray said. “Though I might be wrong about that.” He was still clutching the pizza box in his arms and doing his best to eat a cold slice as we ran. "
67 " My pool table!” Orion shrieked. “I never even got to use it!” The chandelier in the room, weakened by the blast, dropped from the ceiling and shattered in the wreckage. The fallen chandelier was the size of a minivan, big enough to give us some cover. We dashed into the next room before Joshua or Dane could fire again, though Erica stopped just long enough to snatch a pool ball and half a busted pool cue off the floor. “We lost the flash drive!” Zoe exclaimed. “And my pizza!” Murray wailed. "
68 " We passed into a kitchen. It appeared to be the second kitchen for the house—or maybe even the third or fourth—as it had apparently never been used. All the appliances were still shrink-wrapped and spotless. And yet, even for a backup kitchen, it was huge. Enough food for an army could have been prepared there. “Whoa,” Orion gasped. “I completely forgot about this.” “You forgot about an entire kitchen?” Murray asked, startled. “No,” Orion said. “I forgot about this entire wing of the house. "
69 " While most of us immediately took cover, Mike turned to face Joshua and yelled, “Whoa! Time-out!” “Time-out?” Joshua asked, surprised. “You can’t call ‘time-out’ in the middle of a gunfight! "
70 " Harlan Kelly,” Erica reported. “And Lydia Greenwald-Smith.” “Our professors?” Zoe exclaimed. “I loved Dr. Greenwald-Smith’s class.” “Not me,” Mike said. “I suspected she was evil. She gave me a D on my counterespionage exam last week. "
71 " The thug pulled the keys from his pocket as quickly as he could, then passed out from either pain or fear. "
72 " Oh, all right, it wasn’t the enemy,” Alexander admitted. “It was a duck.” Catherine lost her temper. “We’ve been risking our lives to get this information, and at the only moment we got to see it, you were distracted by a duck?” “In my defense, it was an emerald-crested Welsh Harlequin,” Alexander said. “They’re very rare. "
73 " Because some jade-faced waterfowl wandered across your path!” “It was an emerald-crested Welsh Harlequin… ,” Alexander corrected. “I don’t care if it was a pink elephant wearing a baboon for a hat! "
74 " I’m twenty-six and I have more money than I know what to do with,” Orion explained. “I also own a private submarine, a minor league baseball team, and forty percent of Madagascar. "
75 " You’ve told me lots of things,” Erica said. “Like how you prevented the French from invading Turkey and how you thwarted an evil plot to turn all the gold in the world into soup. "
76 " Once that timer is done, a massive electromagnetic pulse will be triggered, big enough to take out every major city in Europe, as well as those on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. "
77 " Whoa,” Orion gasped. “I completely forgot about this.” “You forgot about an entire kitchen?” Murray asked, startled. “No,” Orion said. “I forgot about this entire wing of the house. "
78 " she was cradling a cat in her arms. It was a skittish orange tabby, and she was speaking to it in a slightly dotty fashion. “I know, Gaspard. I heard something down here too,” she said in French. “I hope the rats haven’t gotten into the Pop-Tarts again. "
79 " From "
