“Benjamin Franklin?” Baru asked, standing up.

“Of course I am,” Ben said. “Do I know you?”

“Probably not,” Baru said. “My name is Baru, and I need your help.”

“Apologies,” Ben said. “But as you can see, I am terribly busy.”

Ben steered his kite, tugging at the roll of string in his hands. It seemed he was trying to guide it into the flashiest of clouds. Baru looked up and saw that, sure enough, a large skeleton key was tied to the string.

“Have you caught anything yet, Mr. Franklin?” Baru asked. “Any electricity?”

Ben’s eyes widened in surprise. “How do you know . . . ?”

“There’s no time,” Baru said. “I just need to use your key once lightning strikes it.”

“For what purpose?” Ben asked. “I fear it’s much too dangerous a task.”

Baru saw there were two pairs of metal tongs on the roof. The handles were covered with what look like rubber. He guessed Ben planned to use the tongs to safely handle the electrified key.

Two tongs, Baru thought. If they managed to put two neck bolts into the monster . . .

“I’m going to need two power sources,” Baru said. “If only I had another . . .” He reached into his pocket and felt the familiar metal shape inside. “. . . key,” Baru said, pulling the small key for his bike lock from his pocket. “Any chance you could tie this one up there too?”

After quickly explaining his plan, Baru knew Ben Franklin’s curiosity had gone through the roof. In a matter of minutes, Ben had tied Baru’s key next to his and sent thekite back up. As the storm raged above them, Baru grew anxious. Lightning was crackling everywhere, but none of it struck their keys.

“This isn’t going to work,” Baru whispered. He glanced down again and saw his friends were nearly surrounded by the undead invaders. They needed his help—and quickly.

Baru was about to thank Ben for trying when the sky exploded. A jagged bolt of lightning raced from the churning clouds. It struck both keys in one shot.

ZZZAAAASHHHHHHHHHH!

The keys glowed white with energy. Wisps of electricity crackled along their metal surfaces.

“Reel them in!” Baru cried. “I’ll grab them with the tongs!”

Ben pulled the kite down from the storm, and Baru took a deep breath. Please don’t let me get zapped, he thought. He squinted, preparing for a shock as he grabbed the keys with the tongs. Thankfully, the rubber handles protected him. The arms of the tongs vibrated with energy as Ben cut the string away.

“Now I just need to get down there,” Baru said.

Ben Franklin gazed down at the weird battle below them. “How quickly?” he asked with a smile.
