And Gary gasped and pulled his hand out of the lake RIGHT AWAY.

And I looked at Jodi and Jodi looked at me because it hadn’t just been MAISIE that had shouted “NO! DON’T!”

Ranger Tam had shouted it too!

And Ranger Tam looked

As soon as we got back to the lodge Jodi called an

Zach had changed into some clothes that weren’t wet but he was still shivering and that’s when Jodi said that we needed a TINFOIL BLANKET to wrap round him to get him warm ASAP. But we didn’t have any tinfoil in the lodge so Maisie just wrapped loads of normal blankets round him and that helped.

I was watching Ranger Tam from the Big Window because even though he’d sent us all back to the lodges, he was still on a raft out on the lake, peering into the water. And I knew that he was looking for the MONSTER.

That’s when Jodi said, “The secret meeting has officially begun.” And she took a deep breath and said, “I think we can all agree this is probably the most SERIOUS problem we’ve ever had to deal with.”

And we all nodded.

Then Jodi said, “Zach was almost eaten by a lake monster today.”

And me and Maisie both GASPED because even though that was definitely TRUE, we hadn’t been expecting Jodi to say it (especially right in front of ZACH who was clearly still in SHOCK)!

I looked at Zach to see if he was OK and that’s when I saw that his head was sort of slumped to the side and that he was leaning against Maisie and also that he had fainted.

So we pulled Zach off and that’s when he woke up and started SHAKING again and saying, “What’s happening?! What’s happening?!”

And that’s when we heard Gary Petrie yell, “It’s me! GP!”

And Jodi rolled her eyes and said, “GO AWAY, GARY! WE’RE BUSY!”

But then Gary KNOCKED AGAIN and yelled, “I’ve got lunch for us all at my lodge to say sorry for moaning about Zach falling in the water. Is he OK?”

That’s when my stomach started RUMBLING and I realised that none of us had even eaten breakfast because of everything that was going on.

And then Maisie said, “I’m hungry.”

And I could tell that Jodi wanted to keep doing the secret meeting but then HER stomach rumbled TOO. And she yelled, “Do you have any foil at your lodge?”

And Gary laughed and said, “It’s GP’s lodge! We have
