roared. “Get out of here now before I make you scared of me.”
    â€œPlease calm down,” Clandestino said.
    â€œNO WAY!” he barked. “GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” He reached for a power drill on the grimy kitchen table and waved it at us!
    Janice was biting her fingernails nervously.

    I sensed danger in the air. “Guys, maybe we should really go.”
    Then the door to the room from which the snoring was coming opened. A young woman walked out. “What’s all this about, dear? Ah Kiat?” she asked. “Who are these awful-looking children?” She was wearing a party mask of Batman’s Joker, so we couldn’t see her face.
    â€œExcuse me?” Adam asked. “Awful-looking?”
    Adam certainly thought the world of himself and I guessed he didn’t want to be lumped in the same group as us. I was sure he was about to tear his school uniform apart to reveal his six-pack underneath.
    â€œThese children want to share the same fate as Mundi, you see?” The man snarled, walking closer towards Janice. He pressed the trigger and the drill spinned hazardously.
    â€œThey do, don’t they?” The woman laughed sinisterly. “You kids should have seen the way he looked when we grabbed him. He was shivering all over like a little drenched kitten. That silly boy uttered no sound. He must have been too afraid even to speak.”
    She reached for a knife on the kitchen table.
    â€œGuys, Ita canta stillta hearta theta snortaringta,” I whispered.
    â€œOh no, be careful, she has a kni…” Janice started to say.
    Before she could finish her sentence, the lady had already snaked her arm around Janice’s neck and pointed the knife at her. I could see Janice’s veins throbbing in fear and hear her heart beating wildly.
    â€œPlease, please, not me!” she cried out. “Do something, people!” She stamped her foot.
    I turned to Clandestino. He winked at us. The next thing we knew, he had vanished in a cloud of dust and was whirling around the man and the woman.
    â€œWhat in the world?” the woman shrieked.
    Kerpow! Everything was happening so swiftly I couldn’t make sense of it. I could only hear what was happening.
    â€œClandestino, look out!!” screamed Janice hysterically.
    â€œThat’s the end of you boys!” the man shouted.
    â€œOuch!” Janice cried. “Oh no….”
    My super sensitive ears detected the sound of skin being slashed.
    Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Clandestino was spinning around the attackers at breakneck speed.
    â€œTake that!” Adam exclaimed. I heard a strong, hard punch.
    â€œYou are going to get it from us!” the man said. “How dare you!”
    â€œAhhhh!” the woman shrieked suddenly.
    â€œAnd you too!” Adam said.
    Then there was a loud THUD. After what seemed like an eternity, everything came into view. The cloud of dust settled and on the floor lay the man and woman all tied up with blue electrical wires. The drill and knife were on the floor. Blood mixed with dust and plaster formed a paste and I could see red-stained footprints.
    Clandestino wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. I looked at the two perpetrators.
    â€œWhere is the blood coming from?” I asked worriedly.
    â€œHow dare you, you hideous children?” The woman glowered at us. “Where is that silly man? He is supposed to be here by now!”
    â€œWhat silly man?” Adam asked. “Uncle Andy?”
    The man spat at Adam, who was guarding them like a hawk. “I am warning you, you’d better let us off. We belong to a gang and we deal with losers like you every day!” the man shouted.
    â€œGuys, I don’t feel well,” a weak voice muttered.
    I glanced over my shoulder and saw Janice sitting on the floor. There was a deep gash on her hand.
    â€œOh no! What do we do?” Clandestino asked desperately. “Did you try to
