Chapter 91

Lucas didn’t really want them to take the risk, but they seemed determined on going.

Finally, Lucas sighed, “I can take you there, but we’re not getting close.”

Eileen responded, “No problem.”

Then she tossed them the green ribbon.

Eddie and Lucas saw the writing on the ribbon: ‘The First Crossroad…

The dots indicated that the sentence wasn’t finished; it was just a half-spoken phrase.

“The hell does ‘The First Crossroad’ mean?” Eddie asked.

Eileen just shrugged, “Beats me.”

Lucas pondered a bit and handed back the ribbon, “Croc Cove Creek isn’t far from here. If we hit the road now, we should get there in about two hours.”

Eileen stood up, “Then let’s hit the road.”

The six of them set off back.

By dusk, they reached the place known as Croc Cove Creek.

Eileen stared at the half-visible crocodile eyes peeking out from the riverbed.

Looking around, she asked Lucas and Eddie, “Do you guys see the blue ribbon?”

Eddie replied, “The crocs move around. We’ve seen a blue ribbon here before, but who knows where it’s swum off to now?”

“So how are we supposed to find it, it’s too hard.”

“Over there,” Egbert suddenly said.

Eileen instantly turned to him, “Where?”

Egbert, with a slight frown and an expressionless face, said, “The ribbon fell off, it’s in the river.”

Eileen turned and sure enough, there was a big croc, laying on a blue ribbon in the muddy riverbed.

The ribbon didn’t just fall off, it was pinned by a croc.

Back at camp, the show director shook his head at Major Warner, “Sly fox, I don’t believe you didn’t foresee this. What made you think to tie the ribbon to a croc’s head? Now it’s fallen off, with all these crocs in the river, I bet you never planned to give them the clue on the ribbon, huh?”

Major Warner just shook his head with a smile, “If it’s Egbert, he can get it.”

The director was surprised, then rubbed his chin, “Really?”
