"Okay," Evan agreed. They shook hands solemnly.

They hurried to the tree. Evan searched the entire park, squinting against the bright sunlight. He wanted to make sure no one was spying on them this time.

When he was sure the park was empty, he and Andy dropped to their knees under the tree and began scooping the dirt off the hole with their hands.

They had dug nearly two feet down when they realized the hole was empty.

"The Monster Blood!" Evan cried. "It — it's gone!"

"We must be digging under the wrong tree," Evan said, sweat pouring down his freckled forehead.

Andy pushed a wet strand of brown hair off her face with a dirt-covered finger. "No way." She shook her head. "This is the right tree. And the right hole."

"Then where is the Monster Blood?" Evan demanded shrilly.

They both came up with the answer to his question at the same time: "Conan!"

"He must have watched us bury it," Evan said, his eyes darting around the park as if he expected to see Conan jump out from behind a bush. "I thought he hurried away awfully fast that afternoon. He knew the paper bag wasn't empty."

Andy agreed. "He hid and watched us bury it. Then he waited till we were gone, and dug it up."

They both stared into the empty hole in horrified silence.

Andy broke the silence. "What is Conan going to do with it?" she asked, her voice just above a whisper.

"Probably eat it so he can grow bigger and pound me harder," Evan replied bitterly.

"But he doesn't know what Monster Blood does," Andy said. "He doesn't know how dangerous it is."

"Of course he does. I told him all about it," Evan replied. He slammed his hand against the tree trunk. "We have to get it back!"

Before science class the next afternoon, Evan found Conan in the hall. He and Biggie were standing next to Evan's locker. They were laughing loudly about something, slapping each other high-fives.

Conan wore a tight blue muscle shirt and baggy faded denim jeans with enormous holes at the knees. Biggie had wavy brown hair down to his shoulders. He wore a sleeveless white T-shirt and tight-fitting black denims.

They look like a couple of tag-team wrestlers! Evan thought as he stepped between them.
