get a zapper for my little sister?”
    Stella shot me one of her serious stares.
    “We must contact Dr. Leery right away,” Walter went on. “The situation is worse than we anticipated. You need to get instructions directly from him.”
    I noticed the ant trance was beginning to wear off. The ants were twitching again.
    “Oh, dear,” Walter cried. “We have to hurry! Head for my limousine! Now!”
    The Monster Squad ran out to the car. We flung ourselves in and buckled up. We had to drive away before the ant trail caught up to us.
    As we sped away, Ranger leaned into the front seat. “Where is Leery right now?” he asked. I was wondering the same thing.
    “All over the world since last Thursday,” Walter explained.
    “How does he travel so far so fast?” Stella asked.
    “Private B-Jet,” Walter answered. “It takes him wherever he goes at a moment’s notice.”
    “So he’ll give us instructions from his plane phone?” Lindsey asked.
    “No, I just text-messaged him. Dr. Leery wants to stream video to us directly. He recorded a message a short time ago,” Walter explained. “Damon, your house is right up here on this road, correct? That is where you saw the insect activity?”
    “Sure,” I shrugged. “It’s a regular Gnat Central.”
    “Perfect! We’ll use your computer for the uplink,” Walter told us. “You four can get instructions from Dr. Leery while I investigate Damon’s backyard.”
    As Walter pulled the limo up to my parents’ house, I noticed that same empty-neighborhood feeling I’d had the other day. Once again, no one was home. Mom, Dad, and Rachel were probably over at the drive-in getting ready for tonight’s show.
    As we stepped out of the limo, I glanced up the road.
    “Do you see that?” I gushed.
    Lindsey screamed.
    On the road behind Walter’s limousine, where we had just been driving a few moments earlier, was a winding line of ants. The ants from the castle had trailed us from the top of Nerve Mountain!
    There was only one difference. The ants were now joined by a moving line of crickets, worms, and slithering slugs.
    “Get into the house!” Walter shouted.
    I got my key and we raced inside. Stella locked the door behind us.
    “Computer?” Walter asked.
    I pointed up the stairs. “Top floor.”
    Stella raced up behind Walter.
    I yelled after her. “Don’t touch my stuff!” But I knew she was already inside my room.
    “Daaaaamon! You have B-Monster posters on the ceiling?” she called out.
    “Yes!” I cried. “And on the door, too.” I went into the room and found Walter at my computer, punching a bunch of keys.
    Lindsey pulled out her camera. “Mind if I snap a few?” she asked me.
    I just shrugged. “I guess.”
    “Where did you get the original poster from the Crabzilla premiere?” Ranger asked. “There are only four of those in existence!”
    “Yeah,” I said. “I got special B souvenirs because of my parents’ drive-in. I’m lucky that way.”
    I quickly showed off all the other B stuff in the room. In addition to posters, I revealed my collection of B-Monster Plushies, trading cards, B-Monster Galaxy magazines, an ATTACK OF THE B-MONSTERS game in its original box, and the Slimo paper weight with the hand sticking out of the middle. That had been Leery’s too-cool gift for me from our first mission.
    Ranger was jealous; I could tell. He probably still thought he was the best B-collector in Riddle.
    My bedroom curtains were still closed from that morning. I pulled them open so everyone could see the field and forest and maybe even the shadow bug, if he showed up. Drive-O-Rama lights burned bright even though sunset was at least an hour away.
    “Okay, Monster Squad,” Walter said, getting up from my computer desk. “No time for playing around. I’ve inputted the link to Leery.”

    Stella squeezed in front of me so she could sit down at the desk.
    “Hey,” I said, holding back a scream. “That’s my computer—”
    “While you four
