Kelly and Kronies have found their way to Noah and Nicole's landing point, and I'd like to know how exactly they got away with attacking and possibly killing the air marshal, not to mention Kelly's impersonation of a flight attendant. And yet, they've had time to escape the airport and hire some guy who claims to be the best tracker in the Amazon.
"Anything is possible in the world of books," Noah Reading Rainbows. He goes to mention that his father died when he was young, and that he has been compensating for that by trying to be as much like his father as he could. Apparently his dad was a dorky, boring, know-it-all. Finally, Nicole asks Noah why he's sharing so much with her. Noah says he figured that since they were going to be spending so much time together, they might as well get to know each other. Nicole says that she is not the sharing type. She asks Noah what he thinks she's like, and when he responds that she is angry and filled with homicidal rage, she pulls a machete on him and tells him to shut up. He says he won't ask any more questions. And after three seconds, he asks another question: how long has Nicole worked for The Library, and does she do the jungle adventure often? Nicole says five years and yes. Noah asks what happened to the last Librarian. Nicole is less willing to share this information.
Finally, Nicole and Noah come across a huge canyon, traversable only by a rickety old rope bridge. I have to ask: are there really as many rickety old rope bridges hanging out in inhospitable corners of the world as movies and television would lead us to believe? And who built them? And how? Wouldn't it have been easier to just cut down one of those tall-ass trees and just throw that across the chasm?
Noah says that there is "no way" the rickety old bridge will support their weight. Nicole decides that there's only one way to find out, and begins to cross. She dares Noah to follow. Gingerly, he steps across. The bridge creaks in response. Nicole tells Noah to think about his girlfriend to get his mind off being scared. She says he probably has some girlfriend with big glasses who watches subtitled documentaries. Noah answers that he's "between" girlfriends, which would indicate that he's had a girlfriend in the past and expects to have one in the future, neither of which, I suspect, is accurate. As they continue across the bridge, Nicole asks Noah if he has figured out the clues to the spear pieces. Noah says he has them all except for the one that gets to the second piece. So, really, since there are only two spear pieces left, he only has half the clues figured out, doesn't he? Noah asks Nicole whether she has any idea what the clue -- something about knowing the time it takes for a bird to become a bird again -- could mean. She says she's the brawn of the operation. The brains of the operation decides to jump up and down on the bridge to demonstrate how wrong he was about it not being able to support their weight. So, of course, the boards give way and he goes plummeting downward. Fortunately, he manages to grab something on his way down, so he's still within easy rescue reach of Nicole. Nicole and Noah get back above the bridge, which shudders and sways. Nicole tells them to run for it. They do, and make it to the other side with the bridge collapsing just behind them every step of the way. "Wow," says Noah.
