“The radio!” he thought. “Why in the world didn’t I think of it before.” In an instant he had the instrument out of his pocket.
“Hello,” he almost shouted into it.

“Did they get you?” Jack’s voice was filled with anxiety.
“They didn’t but it did.”
“What’s it?”
“A bear trap.”
For a moment the phone was silent and Bob feared that something had happened to it. Then Jack’s voice came again.
