7 The Coast Is Clear

Chapter 7 THE COAST IS CLEAR Coke and Pep were lowered to the ground more gently than they expected. When they ripped the pillowcases off their heads, their kidnappers had familiar faces. "Bones!" shouted Coke. "Mya!" shouted Pep. Now, if you had read the first two Genius Files books, you would know that Bones and Mya are on the side of goodness and niceness. They 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, they made it their mission to help Coke, Pep, and any other Genius Filers who were being pursued by Dr.

寇克和佩普被放下来的速度比他们预期的要慢。 当他们把枕套从头上扯下来的时候，绑架他们的人有一张熟悉的面孔。 “骨头！”可口可乐喊道。“米亚！”佩普喊道。 现在，如果你读过《天才档案》的前两本书，你就会知道Bones和Mya站在善良和善良的一边。 他们曾经为华沙博士工作，开始“天才档案”项目，但当他失去理智并决心杀死所有孩子时，他们就辞职了。 在那一刻，他们把帮助可口可乐、佩普和其他任何被乔布斯博士盯上的天才归档者作为自己的使命。

Warsaw or his henchman. That's okay, you know it now. The important thing is that Bones and Mya are friends and had already saved the twins' lives several times. "What are you doing here?" Pep asked as she hugged them. "We came to see you two," Mya told her. "We have good news." "It's about time," Coke said. "We've intercepted several text messages over the last few days," Bones reported, looking around to make sure they were alone. "Dr. Warsaw, it seems, is genuinely head over heels in love with your aunt Judy and is no longer interested in hurting children. Love will do that to a man. He's as harmless as a puppy dog now." "And we've also heard that Mrs. Higgins and those bowler dudes are out of the assassination business," Mya said. "So you can rest easy." Pep, for one, wasn't buying it. "Can you trust those text messages you

华沙或者他的心腹。没关系，你现在知道了。 重要的是，Bones和Mya是朋友，并且已经多次救过这对双胞胎的命。 “你在这儿干什么？”佩普拥抱他们时问道。 “我们是来看你们俩的，”米亚告诉她。 “我们有好消息。”“是时候了，”可口可乐说。 “在过去的几天里，我们截获了几条短信，”骨头报告说，他环顾四周，以确定他们是单独的。 “华沙医生似乎真的爱上了你的朱迪阿姨，不再对伤害孩子感兴趣。 爱情会让人如此。 他现在和小狗一样没有恶意了。” “我们还听说希金斯太太和那些戴礼帽的家伙已经不干暗杀了，”米亚说。 “这样你就可以放心了。”比如，佩普并不买账。 “你能相信那些短信吗？

intercepted?" Pep asked. "Yeah," Coke added, "how do we know there aren't any new enemies out to get us? Like that Archie Clone jerk. He came out of the woodwork." "I can't offer any guarantees," Bones told them, "but I'm pretty confident the coast is clear. You can live your lives. You don't need us anymore." "Yeah, well, just in case, how about giving us something to defend ourselves?" asked Coke. "Like a few of those cool Frisbee grenades, like the one we used to blow up Archie Clone's helicopter?" "We can't do that," Mya said, reaching into her handbag. "The Frisbee grenades cost fifty thousand dollars each. But we did bring you a little good-bye present." She pulled out a small plastic jar with some kind of liquid inside. "What is it?" Pep asked. Mya unscrewed the top of the jar and pulled

拦截吗?”Pep问道。“是的，”科克补充道，“我们怎么知道不会有新的敌人出来对付我们？ 就像那个克隆阿奇的混蛋。 他是从木制品里冒出来的。” “我不能提供任何保证，”骨头告诉他们，“但我很有信心，一切都是安全的。 你们可以过自己的生活。你不再需要我们了。” “是啊，好吧，以防万一，给我们点东西来保护自己怎么样？”可口可乐问道。 “就像那些很酷的飞盘手榴弹，就像我们用来炸毁克隆阿奇直升机的那种吗？”“我们不能那样做，”米亚说着，把手伸进手提包。 “每个飞盘手榴弹价值5万美元。 不过我们确实给你带了一点告别礼物。” 她拿出一个小塑料瓶，里面装着某种液体。 “什么事？”Pep问道。米娅拧开瓶盖，拉了拉

out a little black wand with a circle at the end. She dipped it into the liquid and blew on it. Bubbles floated through the air. "You got us … bubbles?" Pep was incredulous. "I know," Coke said. "They're probably exploding bubbles, right? You blow them into some bad guy's face and … boom … his head is blown off! That is ingenious! Thanks. I can't wait to try this out." "Uh, they're not exploding bubbles," Bones said. "I'm sorry."

拿出一根末端有一个圆圈的黑色小魔杖。 她把它浸入液体中，吹了吹。 气泡在空气中飘浮。 “你给我们……泡泡？”佩普不相信。 “我知道，”可口可乐说。“他们可能是在爆破泡沫，对吧？” 你把它们吹到坏人的脸上，砰，他的头被吹掉了！真有创意！谢谢。 我迫不及待地想尝试一下。” “呃，他们不是在爆破泡泡，”Bones说。 “我很抱歉。”

"No? Oh, I get it," said Coke. "The bubbles are filled with poison gas, right? You blow one and when it pops, your enemy inhales the gas and drops dead instantly, right? Cool! What will you people think of next?" "There's no poison gas in the bubbles, Coke," Mya told him. "Maybe the poison gas just puts you to sleep?" Coke suggested. "Or into a coma. That is awesome!" "No, the only gas in the bubbles is oxygen," Mya explained. "They're just plain old bubbles. We picked them up in a gift shop. You blow them. They float around. They're pretty. We thought you'd like them. Just be careful not to get them in your eyes. The soap stings like the dickens." "Gee, thanks a lot," Coke said, taking the jar. "Now that I have bubbles, I can defend the free world. I feel a lot safer." "We already told you," Mya said, "the coast is clear. You don't have to worry anymore."

“没有?哦，我明白了，”可口可乐说。 “气泡里充满了毒气，对吧？” 你吹了一个，当它爆开的时候，你的敌人就会吸入毒气，然后立刻倒地而死，对吧？ 太酷了!你们这些人接下来会想到什么？”“可乐，气泡里没有毒气，”米亚告诉他。 “也许毒气只是让你睡着了？”可口可乐提出。 或者陷入昏迷。太棒了！”“不，泡泡里唯一的气体是氧气，”米亚解释说。 “它们只是普通的老泡沫。 我们在礼品店买的。 你吹他们。它们四处漂浮。 他们是漂亮的。我们以为你会喜欢的。 小心别弄到眼睛里。 肥皂像狄更斯一样刺人。” “哎呀，太谢谢你了。”可口可乐接过罐子说。 “既然我有了泡沫，我就可以捍卫自由世界。 我觉得安全多了。”“我们已经告诉过你了，”米亚说，“没有危险。 你不用再担心了。”

"What about the cipher we received?" Pep asked. "LEVEL VIS I. It was part of the Fourth of July fireworks show we saw in Washington." "I don't think that's a cipher," Mya said. "It sounds more like a typo or something." "Even if it was a cipher," Bones told them, "how do you know it was meant for you? There were thousands of people there yesterday. The message, if there was one, could have been intended for anybody in that crowd." "I guess you're right," Pep said. "Well, I just wanted to say that it has been a pleasure working with you two," Bones said. "Our job is done now. We wish you the best of luck in your future, wherever it may lead you." After a group hug, the twins ran back to the RV, where their parents were waiting. "Where were you two?" Mrs. McDonald said sternly. "You were just supposed to go get sodas. We were looking all over." There was a time when the twins would tell a lie to get out of trouble, but that never

“那我们收到的密码呢？”Pep问道。 这是我们在华盛顿看到的独立日烟花表演的一部分。 “我不认为那是密码，”米亚说。 “听起来更像是打字错误之类的。” “即使那是密码，”骨头告诉他们，“你们怎么知道那是给你们的？ 昨天有成千上万的人在那里。 这条信息，如果真有的话，可能是发给人群中的任何人的。” “我想你是对的，”佩普说。 “嗯，我只是想说和你们俩合作很愉快，”Bones说。 “我们的任务完成了。我们祝你未来万事如意，无论前途如何。” 在一个集体拥抱之后，这对双胞胎跑回房车，他们的父母在那里等着他们。 “你们俩上哪儿去了？”麦克唐纳太太严厉地说。 “你应该去买苏打水的。 我们到处找。” 曾经有一段时间，这对双胞胎为了摆脱麻烦会说谎，但那从来没有过
