The man scanned the windows as he walked alongside the train. Dan shrank back. He nudged Amy and tilted his head.
"Can I use your phone, Carrie?" Vanessa asked Amy. "I really need to call Ms. Mutchnik."
Vanessa leaned forward for the phone, and Amy crashed back against the seat. Now shielded by Vanessa, she was able to watch the man as he moved, his gaze on the windows.
The train started with a lurch. They saw his face briefly as they slid past him. He started to run as he tried to catch up and jump aboard. Had he seen them? The train accelerated, and he was left behind on the track. Dan and Amy exchanged a relieved glance. He could have been just a guy who missed his train. But somehow Dan didn't think so.
"I'm perfectly fine," Vanessa was saying. "The Farleys are awesome-they're from Maine, which is like, the nicest state ever. I have Heather's tuba, I have the costumes, and I even have a sandwich. No you don't have to meet me at the station... oh, whatever. No! Don't call my parents! i am so incredibly fine..."
As the city of Florence receded, Dan felt himself relax. He and Amy had learned during the hunt for the 39 Clues to grab rest when they could. He yawned. The slight sway of the train reminded him of his grandmother Grace's hammock on the lawn on a warm September afternoon, back when he had nobody chasing him, and nobody missing. he felt as though he could finally sleep.
The hand came out of nowhere. Dan almost scissored out a powerful kick but was glad he didn't. Did breaking a conductor's kneecap get you thrown off a train in Italy?
The guy said something in Italian. the the English penetrated Dan's foggy brain. "Ticket and passport. We're crossing the border."
"Oh. Sorry." Dan handed the conductor his ticket.
"Grazie."
"De nada," Dan said.
"That's Spanish," Amy whispered.
"No, it's whatever," Dan said. "I'm too tired to think."
"You guys slept through Milan," Vanessa said.
"Jet lag," Amy said.
Her phone buzzed. By now Dan recognized the sound. It was the special phone Vesper One had sent to them, the phone that he used for his text messages. The DeOssie secure smartphone that was used by spies and soldiers. Vesper One had reconfigured it so that they couldn't reply to his messages. He could always get to them. They could never get to him. The guy didn't play by the rule book.
Vanessa stood up. "I'm going to find some snacks. Anybody want anything?"
"Anything crunchy," Dan said. He handed her a couple of euros. "But if you can find American potato chips, we'll be friends forever."
She flashed a grin. "I'll work my mojo."
As soon as Vanessa started down the aisle, Amy scrambled for the phone in her pocket.
{Lucerne is such a great place to shop. While you're there, can you pick up a de Virga mappa mundi for me? Don't worry, you don't have to gift wrap it. I need it soon, though. Four days from now, bright and early. Or else.}
"I wish the guy would stop making jokes," Dan said through gritted teeth. "And giving ultimatums. Do you know what de Virga mappa mundi means? Sounds like a pasta dish."
"Mappa mundi means 'world map,'" Amy said. She tapped out a quick text to their research team at the comm. center back hone in Attleboro, Massachusetts. In a large attic room they had banks of computer, an array of handhelds, and sleeping quarters. They even had their own satellite, the Gideon. Amy had spent a fortune on a communications bunker in case something like this happened. She wasn't paranoid or psychic. Just wicked smart.
RECEIVED NEXT TARGET: DE VIRGA WORLD MAP.
In less that a minute, a reply came form her boyfriend Evan.
GOT IT. ALL OK?
OK FOR NOW. Amy tapped back.
Last part of Chapter 2 coming soon... Stay tuned and stay alert...
this is so awesome... thank you so much!!

A King's Ransom Sneak Peak
Continuation of Chapter One
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"I'm so beat I could lie down right on the floor," he told Amy. "When was the last time we slept?"
"Day before yesterday?" Amy asked with a frown. "I know what you mean. This is some jet lag. Let's get a coffee while we make a plan."
"Oh yeah, jet lag. That must be it," Dan agreed as he trailed after her to the espresso bar. "Not the fact that we pulled off a museum heist, went without sleep and food and oh, yeah -- did I mention this -- almost got killed? Jet lag. That's why we're tired."
"Well, if you want to get technical," Amy said, but summoned up a smile for her brother. She pushed balled-up paper money at the counterman and held up two fingers for coffee.
"I wonder what he wants us to steal next," Dan said. "I think I maxed out my museum heist skills."
"If we could just get one step ahead of them..." Amy murmured.
She took the change from the counterman and handed an espresso to Dan.
He took a sip and his face turned red. He let out an a series of explosive coughs, stamping his foot with each one. Passerby turned and stared, and Amy saw a policeman's gaze sweep the crowd, looking for the source of the commotion.
She grabbed the now-empty espresso cup and put it back on the counter, pushing Dan forward and quickly maneuvering him through the crowd.
"I said distraction," she hissed. "Not pandemonium."
"I couldn't help it," Dan wheezed. "Dude, what was that sludge I just inhaled?"
"Just Italian coffee." Amy said. "Look, the train to Lucerne leaves in fifteen minutes. We have to take a chance."
Dan scanned the crowd. "You know what we need? A--tuba!"
"A what?"
Dan pointed with his chin. Off to their right, a tuba seemed to be floating through the crowd. Dan began to follow it, with Amy trailing behind. Suddenly, it dropped out of sight. Amy and Dan skirted a family running for a train and saw a slender young woman slumped on a suitcase, holding a tuba and crying. A large sticker on a small trunk read, "WILMINGTON WOWZABELLES EUROPEAN TOUR."
"Distraction!" Dan crowed.
They moved forward, not knowing what they'd do or say but knowing they had the perfect opportunity for ... something.
"Need a hand with that?" Dan asked the girl. "I happen to have experience as a tuba wrangler."
She looked up. startled. Her eyes were a warm brown behind her delicate wire-rimmed glasses. She smiled. "Thanks, but I think I have it covered." Dan detected a slight Southern accent. Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears.
"Actually, I don't! I missed the train, and I have the tuba and all the costumes! It's all Heather's fault. She just had to get her last Italian gelato before the train. She told me to just watch the tuba for two seconds and she'd come back. If I don't make it to Zurich in time, I'm doomed!"
"Hey, we're going to Switzerland too!" Dan said.
"You are?" She swiped at her tears. "I'll miss the concert. My suitcase is with Ms. Mutchnik, and my charger's in my bag, so I can't even call them. And I c-can't speak Italian!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide, as though that was the final awful thing that had happened.
"You can borrow my phone," Amy offered. "And you could take the train to Lucerne with us and then go to Zurich from there. We can travel together."
"Really? That would be so awesome! Europe kind of freaks me out, y'all, to tell you the truth," the girl confided, leaning towards them. "I've never traveled much."
Awkwardly, the girl struggled to her feet. She stuck out her hand. "Vanessa Mallory, from Wilmington, South Carolina."
"Mark Farley," Dan said, remembering the name on his fake passport just in time. "This is my sister..." His mind was a blank.
"Caroline," Amy supplied. "But you can call me Carrie! We're from Maine," she improvised.
"It's so awesome that I bumped into you," Vanessa said, shouldering one of the bags.
They hurried to the track and got in line behind a wealthy-looking woman with a large trunk and several suitcases. She was dressed in a fur coat and hat, even though it wasn't that cold. She spoke sharply to the police officer at the train door in rapid Italian. He shrugged.
Finally, the line moved forward. Amy pulled the Wowzabelles trunk and Dan grabbed the tuba.
"On your way to a concert?" The policeman smiled.
Vanessa nodded, "We're on a European tour," she added proudly.
"And what is a Wowzabelle?" he asked.
"Awesome singers," Amy said, handing over her passport.
Dan waited while the policeman scrutinized the photo, comparing to Amy. Then he reached for Dan's. It seemed to take long seconds before he handed back the document. He ticketed the trunk.
"This will go in the oversize compartment--pick it up in Zurich. Welcome aboard." Only Dan heard Amy's long sigh of relief as they boarded the train and found their seats, stowing the tuba overhead. Dan glanced out the window. A man in a raincoat was talking to the friendly policeman. He had a nose like the beak of a raptor, and his dark hair looked as though he'd blow-dried it with an airplane propeller.
Dan looked away, checking out the station, but his gaze snapped back. He didn't know why, exactly. Maybe because the man wasn't showing the officer a ticket or a passport, he was just leaning in, talking to him. And all the while his gaze swept the station. Detective, Dan thought, as the policeman pointed to the Lucerne train.
==End Of Chapter 1==
Stay tuned for Chapter 2 when I finally get enough sleep and have time to type it out. In the meantime, enjoy! And post your conspiracy theories.

A King's Ransom Sneak Peak
SPOILER ALERT!!
After travelling the Internet highways and byways, I managed to find a sneak peak for A King's Ransom in an ebook for The Medusa Plot for my phone of all places. Since I cannot copy and paste it here, I'm going to type it out. The sneak peak covers the first 2 chapters, so here it goes...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Chapter 1
=====Florence, Italy=====
Dan Cahill didn't realize just how many policemen there were in the world until he became an international art thief. At this early hour, the Santa Maria Novella train station was crammed with travelers. Businessmen with briefcases, students chugging espressos, tourists with too much luggage and two teenagers, one with a stolen priceless thirteenth century book in a backpack.
That would be him.
Dan hung his thumbs on the straps of his pack, hugging it closer to him. He almost felt that Marco Polo's original manuscript, Il Milione-the one that had been lost for centuries until he and his sister had found it hidden in the Colosseum in Rome - was actually emitting heat. Was that why he was sweating so badly? Or was it the fact that there seemed to be a policeman every five feet?
"Polizia everywhere," his sister, Amy, murmured.
"They're checking passports at the boarding platforms," Dan noted.
He watched as a uniformed officer stopped two young students about to board a train. They were older than he and Amy, but the girl had brown hair to her shoulders like Amy, and the boy was wiry as Dan.
At least he and his sister had fake passports and disguises. He couldn't get used to the sight of Amy in a blond wig, and his heavy framed glasses screamed DORK, or whatever that was in Italian. Il Dorko?
"What we need is a distraction," Amy murmured. "If they look at our passports too closely, we could get in trouble. We've got to get on that train to Switzerland!"
"Because when a deranged psycho gives you orders, its important to snap to," Dan said. The text had come only a few hours before.
{Perhaps you notice that your loved ones continue to accept our Vesper hospitality. This is due to your previous treachery. They will remain our guests until you complete four more tasks. The first of these will be in Lucerne, Switzerland. I suggest you get yourselves there immediately, lest the number of our little party dwindles. Vesper One.}
Their enemy, Vesper One, was a big fan of the mocking taunt. Every word was a thrust to the heart, letting them know that he was holding members of their family hostage and was prepared to kill them.
Dan stared up at the train departures board as if it would hold all the answers. Why was he here, desperate and scared, instead of back in Massachusetts, trying to scam himself out of math homework like any normal thirteen-year old?
Wherever they turned, headlines screamed the news: IL CRIMINE DEL SECOLO! The crime of the century. They had stolen a Caravaggio from the Uffizi Gallery, and now they were on Interpol's most-wanted list. Which would have been sort of cool if he didn't have to be afraid of going to jail for ten thousand years. Lives were on the line. Lives of people they had become close to, including Reagan Holt, Ted Starling and Natalie Kabra. Twelve-year old, Phoenix Wizard. And people they loved-Uncle Alistair Oh and their guardians, Fiske Cahill and Nellie Gomez. That was the hardest thing to bear. Fiske had disappeared in California, and Nellie had been kidnapped right off the streets of Paris.
The destinations on the board blurred, and Dan rocked on his feet with weariness. He heard the hiss of an espresso machine. Over the head of the loudspeaker announced a track change in Italian and English. Everything seemed to fade a little.
The worldwide bestselling continues with a brand-new adventure... and an even deadlier challenge.
The Vespers have crossed a line. Amy and Dan were devastated when the Vespers kidnapped seven Cahills around the world, holding them hostage until Amy and Dan delivered an impossible ransom. But at least the hostages were Cahills—members of the world's most powerful family, trained to face disaster.
But now the Vespers have kidnapped Atticus, an innocent 11-year-old boy and Dan's only friend. Dan and Amy find themselves in the struggle of their lives. Because if they can't outwit the Vespers, the unthinkable will happen...Atticus will die.
i doubt atticus is really innocent... remeber the f's? maybe astrid was one of them as well as broderick wizard
i also saw this amazing post that could help us all on the message board

For those of you who have read The Medusa Plot, you may have noticed several clues to the location of the Cahill kidnappees.
First of all, Fiske, in the containment cell, theorizes that because he was the first to arrive, he must have been the closest to their present location. If you draw a circle around Napa Valley (where Fiske was kidnapped) that has a radius equal to one-half the distance from Napa Valley and Ponce, Puerto Rico (where Reagan was kidnapped), then draw another circle around Ponce with a radius equal to one-half the distance from Ponce to London (where Natalie was kidnapped), a small section of the American Southwest is contained in both circles.
Incidentally, there are only two places in this area with Cahill connections:
San Antonio, Texas - home of Janus author agent Rick Riordan, where he lives with his wife and two sons
Dallas, Texas - hometown of non-Cahill Janus agent Broderick Wizard, father of Jonah Wizard and husband of Cora Wizard; suspected Vesper
Remember that video feed that the Vespers sent the Cahills in which Nellie is shot? Sinead Starling was able to pick up the text of the label on the inside of one the Vespers' clothing: MODA-MODA. Research has produced one major result: Moda Fabrics, based in none other than Dallas, Texas.
cool huh? this idea came from agentdragon28
That's an interesting theory, but Moda Fabrics in Dallas isn't the brand. Moda Fabrics sells fabric, not suits.
maybe they made suits out of the fabric, and they still left the label on and it was and xl piece of fabric

Nice one!! This is fantastic news! Now we may know for certain who Vesper One is and maybe even the culprit behind Astrid's murder. He was also was in Venice in the Extreme Mission, meaning his location was close enough to affect the events in the Medusa Plot.
the person who posted it though, he kind of looked like arthur trent; they could be realted or arthur trnet escaped the fir and he is really dave speminer

First off, why is one of the words to enter this comment cubed!(I'm not joking) When you combine the star sheet pieces(back of cards) there is a section of morse code and a section of number substitution code. The morse code says john wilkes booth was v and the number code says leonardo da vinci

Oops... My mistake there. I had forgotten about Casper's failure in the land of the Swiss. As for Evan, i support jjcoolj's theory. Seems a little to coincidental that Evan was always there for Amy, stalking her house, knowing about the Vesper phone.... As if it was all planned to infiltrate the Cahills. I hope its just an innocent crush on his dream girl, but you may never know. This series still has a main motto that says 'Trust No One'... Maybe this will be like the killer incident when Evan betrays Amy and the Cahills that really drives the lesson home into Amy and Dan... And who knows, Amy may suddenly like Mr Ian Kabra again and start falling in love but one cant hope for that much cant they?
1) thanks for supporting my theory.
2)read evans card page on the 39 clues.com its all leading up to a vesper evan.
3) everyone must know that i DO NOT SUPPORT AMYAN (amy-ian)!!!!!!!!!!!!
