island and looked from Zac to Caz.
    ‘Well, well,’ he said with a grin. ‘A GIB agent and a BIG agent working together! I never thought I’d see the day.’

‘Working together?’ Caz laughed. ‘I was only using him to get to the blueprints!’
    Zac’s eyes were fixed on Voler. The professor tapped at the controls on his sleeve, and the helicopter blades folded back into his Chopper Suit.
    ‘Please don’t let me interrupt,’ said Voler, grinning at the two of them. ‘I just thought I’d come down here for a closer view of the big finish.’

    Zac’s eyes flashed across to the dome in the swamp. The glass was splitting apart. He leapt into the water and splashed towards the dome, with Caz right behind him.
    Zac and Caz reached the dome at the same time and dived for the plastic toad. They crashed down onto the platform, hands grabbing wildly.
    Zac felt his fingers close around the toad. Yes!

    Caz barrelled into Zac and they tumbled into the water. Zac wriggled free of her and made his way back up onto the island.
    He slipped the plastic toad into his pocket, right next to his SpyPad. Looking back over his shoulder, he saw Caz climbing up out of the water.
    Then Zac realised his mistake. He may have got his hands on the plastic toad, but Caz had taken the spare Chopper Suit.
    ‘Well now, this is an interesting twist!’ said Voler, smiling at Zac. ‘You’ve tracked down my X-Beam blueprints, but now you’ve got no way of escaping the swamp.’
    Voler turned to Caz.
    ‘And you’ve got the Chopper Suit, but no blueprints,’ he said. ‘How do you suppose you’re going to –?’

    In a flash, Caz had switched on her Electromagnetic Whip and cracked it at Voler. The cord of electricity struck the big round ‘REMOVE’ button on the chest of his Chopper Suit.

    The Chopper Suit popped right off Voler and landed in a crumpled heap in the grass. Caz reached down and grabbed the suit before Voler had time to react.
    ‘Wait!’ said Voler, looking furious. ‘You can’t do that! It’s not in the rules!’
    ‘It is now,’ sneered Caz.
    Voler shot Caz a dangerous look. But Caz waved her whip at him and he backed off. Then she walked across to Zac, carrying the two Chopper Suits.
    ‘Here’s the deal,’ she said.‘You hand over the toad and I give you one of these suits.’
    Zac looked across at Voler, who was staring angrily at them. Zac had just remembered something and he was sure Caz wouldn’t like it!
    Fighting the urge to grin, he looked back at Caz and sighed loudly.
    ‘I guess giving up the plastic toad is the only way I’m going to get out of here,’ he said, shrugging. ‘OK, it’s a deal.’
    He pulled the toad from his pocket and handed it to Caz. Then he grabbed one of her Chopper Suits and put it on.
    ‘I hope you two have learnt a lesson today,’ said Caz, slipping into her own Chopper Suit and backing away from them. ‘ Don’t mess with BIG!’
    She tapped at the suit’s controls and started rising up into the air. Zac took one last look at Voler and followed her.
    ‘See you later, Agent Rock Star!’ called Caz over her shoulder. ‘Better luck next time!’
    But Zac just grinned at her and waved.
    Caz stopped mid-air. ‘What are you smiling at?’ she demanded.
    ‘Nothing,’ said Zac. ‘I’m just thinking of all the awesome stuff I’m going to do with my new X-Beam.’
    ‘What are you talking about?’ Caz glared, holding up the plastic toad. ‘I’ve got the blueprints right here!’
    ‘Yeah, about that,’ said Zac.‘When I put the plastic toad in my pocket, my SpyPad wirelessly transmitted the blueprints to GIB HQ! It’s an automatic function.’
    Caz stared at him, mouth open.
    ‘And then it wiped all the data from the DSD,’ added Zac. ‘But don’t worry, I’m sure your boss will find all kinds of useful things to do with a plastic toad!’
    Zac spun his Chopper Suit around and flew away, laughing. Caz let out an angry shout and disappeared in the opposite
