The Green Ring Conspiracy

Skint's plane went down, and the fallout is spreading all over Odyssey. The money Emily found in the abandoned backpack turns out to be counterfeit, an X-ray reveals a Secret Service chip under Monty's skin... and suddenly his boring state-inspector job looks like a cover story. Across town, Matthew and his friends can't crack the code on the lost Appleberry phone - but when a stranger calls offering a big reward to get it back, Matthew smells trouble and suggests meeting at the police station. That stranger is carnival con man Jebidiah Skint, who knows the phone holds names and numbers that could sink his whole operation, so he sends young Buck Oliver to hunt it down at Whit's End. Meanwhile, Detective Polehaus pulls the injured Dirk Beggs out of the junkyard and hears how a fight on the plane sent a bag, a bullet, and the pilot's control all tumbling out of the sky. Before Whit can ask Monty a single question, the hospital delivers one last shock: the wounded agent has vanished from his room.

The story

Read the full synopsis 2 min

At Uncle Archie's carnival, Jebidiah Skint prepares a boy named Buck Oliver for secret work. A message on Skint's disposable telephone comes from Dirk Beggs, reporting that he is hurt and hiding at Haggler's Junkyard. Skint recognizes that Dirk's appearance could expose their plans and sends Buck to investigate under cover of hanging carnival posters.

At the hospital, an X-ray reveals a tiny identification chip beneath Monty's skin. Lily has received confidential instructions about such chips and concludes that Monty is an agent for the United States Secret Service. His ordinary state-inspector job has been a cover.

Matthew, Nelson, and Jay examine Dirk's Appleberry at the Square One clubhouse, but a security code blocks access. When Skint calls Dirk's number, Matthew answers and says he found the phone. Skint offers a large reward and requests a private meeting. Matthew wisely suggests the police station, causing Skint to hang up. The call confirms that retrieving the phone is urgent.

Eugene discovers that the money Emily found is counterfeit. The bills use convincing paper but lack several security features, and their serial numbers do not exist in Treasury records. Because the Secret Service investigates counterfeiting, Whit suspects Monty's flight and the abandoned backpack are connected.

Buck watches police and paramedics remove Dirk from the junkyard, then listens outside as Detective Polehaus questions Wally. Dirk had said that another passenger betrayed him during the flight. A fight opened the aircraft door, a bag fell out, a gun fired, and the pilot lost control. Dirk also revealed that his lost telephone contained names, addresses, and numbers leading back to the conspiracy.

Polehaus distrusts Wally because of his criminal past and his family, including carnival owner Archie Haggler. Wally admits he once made serious mistakes but insists he has changed. He tells the detective that Dirk expected a local contact to meet him at the junkyard, though the person may have fled after seeing the emergency vehicles.

Skint orders Buck to find the missing phone. He refuses to run before their deal is completed and reasons that a law-abiding child with a lost device might go to Whit's End. Buck accepts the mission and plans to search there.

Before Whit can learn why Monty has come or what he knows, hospital security brings another shock. An officer arrived to guard Monty's room, but the injured agent has disappeared.
