lab and out into the jungle.
The BIG Zac looked up at the sky.Three GIB helicopters were zooming towards them, less than a minute away.
The Zac look-alike bolted.
Zac took a dive at the agent, his arms outstretched. But his hands caught only air and he hit the dirt. He glanced up just in time to see something fall to the ground from around the BIG agentâs neck.
Zac staggered back to his feet, ready to give chase again.
But it was too late.
The other Zac had dashed away into the jungle and was gone.

Zac looked down to see what had fallen from around the BIG agentâs neck. It was some kind of computer chip on the end of a cord. Zac picked it up and tied the cord around his own neck.
He waved up at the helicopters. Then he raced back inside the base camp to grab his backpack and get the other agents.
âI saw the BIG agent!â said Agent Cougar, pointing through a little window in the laundry. âHe was running away through the jungle. He looked just like you!â
âI know,â said Zac, shaking his head.
âBut thatâs impossible!â Cougar began.
âHow could â I mean, what was he? A clone, or a twin, or ââ
âI donât know!â Zac snapped.
This was all confusing enough without Cougar babbling about it.
âSorry,â said Cougar.
âNo, itâs OK,â said Zac. âI just â I donât know. Letâs just get back to HQ.â
Zac led the other GIB agents outside.
The helicopters were hovering over the base camp now, but the jungle around the building was too thick for them to land.
Instead, they lowered ladders to the ground for Zac and the other agents to climb.
Zac and Agent Cougar boarded one of the helicopters together.
âNice work, Agent Rock Star!â called the pilot as Zac climbed aboard.
âThanks,â replied Zac. He was too distracted to say anything more than that.
He sat down, strapped himself in and tried to make sense of everything that had happened to him in the last 15 hours.
⢠Heâd found a BIG holo-projector with coded information about his long-lost grandpa.
⢠Heâd met a secret team of GIB agents who thought Zac was going to wreck their mission.
⢠Heâd fought a super-strong enemy agent who turned out to be Zacâs exact double.
And on top of all of that, he had less than four days to stop BIG from setting off that Tech Blaster and sending all of GIBâs gadgets into meltdown.
Zacâs mind was a blur. It was too much to take in.
He sat back in his seat and closed his eyes. He just needed a few minutes to rest.
BEEP BEEP!
Someone was calling Zac on his SpyPad. It was Agent Big Boss.
âExcellent!â said Agent Big Boss through the SpyPad screen. âI hear youâve rescued our stranded agents. Well done!â
âNot all of them,â said Zac. âThe head of their team was taken away by the BIG agent before I got there.â
âAh, yes,â Big Boss said awkwardly. âWell, five out of six agents rescued. Thatâs not a bad effort!â
Zac stared at his SpyPad. That wasnât the response he had expected at all. An agent had gone missing and it was as though Big Boss didnât even care!
âSir, donât you want to ââ
âAnyway,â Big Boss said, talking right over the top of Zac. âDid you discover the identity of our mystery BIG agent?â
âUh, yeah,â said Zac uncertainly.
Something in the distance caught Zacâs eye, distracting him. Looking out the window, Zac saw the BIG agentâs jet rise up from between the trees and fly off in the opposite direction.
How was Zac supposed to explain all this to Agent Big Boss, when he didnât understand it himself?
âWell?â Agent Big Boss said. âWho is he? Whoâs the BIG agent?â
Zac took a deep breath and stared at the face in his SpyPad screen.
