The Genius Files #4 Read Online Free PDF

whispered Mya. “You’ll blow our cover.”
    Now, if you’ve been following The Genius Files books, you know who Bones and Mya are. They are kindly grown-ups who once worked for Dr. Warsaw to start The Genius Files project, but quit when he lost his mind and became determined to kill off all the children. At that point, Bones and Mya made it their mission to help Coke, Pep, and any other Genius Filers who were being pursued by Dr. Warsaw and his evil henchman. They had already saved the twins’ lives several times.
    â€œWhat are you doing here?” Pep asked as she hugged them. “And why are you dressed up like truckers?”
    â€œWe heard about the good work you did at Graceland,” said Mya. “The way you took out Evil Elvis was beautiful. It was almost like a work of art.”
    â€œIt was an accident,” Coke told them. “We didn’t mean for that to happen. We were just runningaway. Trying to stay alive.”
    â€œShe was our aunt,” Pep said. “I mean, we hardly knew her, but even so. How could it have happened? She was just a normal person, and then she turned into this . . . monster.”
    â€œIt happens,” Bones told them. “Monsters aren’t born that way. They start out as cute babies, like everybody else. And then, somewhere along the line, they change. Maybe it’s genetic. Maybe it’s their environment. Sometimes perfectly normal people snap and go crazy and we never find out the reason why.”
    â€œWhat’s done is done,” Mya said philosophically. “All that matters now is that the monster is dead. Evil Elvis will never hurt you, or anyone else, again.”
    â€œWhat did you tell your parents about it?” asked Bones.
    â€œNothing,” Coke replied.
    â€œGood,” Bones said. “It would be best for them not to be involved. They would call the police, and that would just open up a big can of worms.”
    â€œWhat are we supposed to do now ?” Pep asked. “Dr. Warsaw called on my mom’s cell phone. He said Aunt Judy was missing and he wanted to know if our folks knew where she was.”
    â€œI’m not worried about Warsaw,” said Mya. “He sent Archie Clone after you, and we know what happenedto him. Then he sent Aunt Judy after you, and we know what happened to her. Dr. Warsaw may be mentally unstable, but he isn’t dumb. By now he must realize that playing with you is playing with fire—literally. He’ll probably go crawl back into the little hole where he came from. You’ll never have to worry about him again.”
    â€œThat would be a big relief,” Pep said.
    â€œYou probably won’t be seeing us anymore,” Bones told the twins. “So we got you a little something. Sort of a going-away present.”
    He opened a bag on the table.
    â€œOh, you don’t have to give us presents!” Pep said.
    â€œIs it a Frisbee grenade?” Coke asked hopefully. “We can definitely use another one of those.”
    Bones pulled out a small, thin metal object with five little prongs at the end. It sort of telescoped open, like the antenna of a portable radio. He handed it to the twins.
    â€œYou got us . . . a backscratcher?” asked Pep.

    â€œIt’s not a backscratcher, you dope!” Coke told his sister. “It’s obviously a blowgun disguised as a backscratcher, right? You blow into one end and it shootsout poisoned darts that will paralyze somebody in seconds. That is cool!”
    â€œUh, it’s not a blowgun,” Bones said.
    â€œNo?” said Coke. “I know! It’s like one of those stun gun things. You push a little button hidden in the handle and it shoots out sixty thousand volts of electricity. Bzzzzzzt! That’ll give a bad guy something to think about! Thanks! This could really come in handy.”
    â€œIt’s not a stun gun,” Mya said. “It’s
