Splash Page:

Gordon released Fritz Hardly and strode toward the van.

Still getting up, Fritz yelled, “Get back, Gordon!  There’s a bomb!”

Gordon snidely said, "No, there isn’t.  I'll see if your van still has its radio."

Gordon Snuff grabbed the driver's door and opened it.  The ground shook.  A sound like thunder roared.  Fritz, John, and the other mall cop fell.  Shrapnel cut John’s back.  Gordon flew into the air like a rag doll.  He came down on top of a parked car, smashing the windshield.  

Special Notes:

Time passes strangely for the Hardly Boys, who are world famous amateur detectives although still in high school.  Expect absurdities and impossibilities because of the strangeness of time.
