Annette and George were running side by side through the park, with Nancy pedaling alongside. Annette had been giving George pointers as they ran, and George looked as if she were walking on air. Even if Nancy was on a dangerous case, she was glad that it gave George the opportunity to train with the best.

The weather was cool, and there was a slight breeze. Somehow, in the park, the noises and crowds of the city seemed a lot farther away than they actually were.

"You're right," George told Annette after taking several strides. "I can feel the difference already. Thanks."

Nancy smiled at George, but a sober thought kept nagging at her. Every time she had tried to talk to George about Kevin, she had been interrupted by something. It was hard getting George away from Kevin long enough to tell her, but now she would do it. If only she could—

Zing! A high-pitched whining distracted Nancy from her thoughts. A split second later a piece of bark flew from a tree just alongside her.

Huh? Nancy thought. What was—

She jumped as a puff of dust kicked up just in front of Annette.

With a flash of panic Nancy realized what was causing the disturbances: bullets.

Someone was shooting at them—and using a silencer!

"Annette! George!" Nancy shouted, stopping her bike with a jerk. "Somebody's shooting at us. Head for cover!"

The other two didn't wait or ask questions but raced for the side of the path.

Her heart pounding, Nancy jumped from the bike and threw herself to the ground on the other side of the path from George and Annette. She was fairly sure this was the side the shots had come from.

With a quick turn of her head, Nancy saw that the other two had taken shelter behind the thick trunks of two old oaks. "Are you guys all right?"

"Fine!" George yelled back.

"I'm okay, too," Annette added.
