"The Range Rover is black, as are the new steel bars on the front. I park on the Quai Francois Mitterand, just around the corner from the Pont Neuf and wait for my call. Eventually, the phone rings and I'm told the target is on his way. I start the engine and get ready. Here he comes in his yellow Ferrari, hard to miss. I swing out behind him, cutting up a small Peugeot who sounds his horn angrily. Tough. The Ferrari turns on to the Pont Neuf, as do I.

£0.99
Sold by Amazon Media EU S.à r.l.
Mr. and Mrs. Fearless have disappeared, but the four Fearless children don't know it until 'The Messenger' arrives to tell them. – and to help them.
"The door opened slowly. An Umbrella Man stood there with some bread on a tray. The boys rushed him, pushed him over and the children all dashed out as fast as they could. Into a ring of Umbrella Men, looking very angry. The children came to a scrambled halt in the middle of the circle. There was no way out. Suddenly there was a blinding flash of lightning, a very loud thunderclap and a whooshing noise. The children looked around half-dazzled - and gaped. Standing next to them was a man dressed in white clothes which seemd to shimmer. He was smiling. The rain had stopped. The Umbrella Men seemed frozen; they did not move. The children clutched each other. The man in white looked around him, at the Umbrella Men, and then at the children,
'Hello', he said."
