The girls rolled their eyes.

“So what were you doing in my room anyway?” Orson asked.

“We were looking for a missing turtle,” Nancy said. “Lucy’s turtle.”

Orson’s eyes lit up when he heard Lucy’s name. “I knew Lucy had a turtle,” he said. “But I didn’t know it was missing.”

“So you didn’t steal him?” Bess asked.

Orson shook his head. “But I’d love to find him. Then I’d be a hero.”

Nancy decided to herself that Orson was no longer a suspect. He liked Lucy too much to steal her pet.

“Let’s go,” she told her friends.

“Wait!” Orson called. He held Taco a few inches from their faces.

“Want to hold him?” he asked with a grin.

The girls froze as Taco flicked his tongue and rolled his eyes. Then they charged out of the house without saying a word. When they finally reached their bikes, Nancy scratched Orson’s name from her list.

“Orson is clean.” Nancy sighed.

“But his room’s a mess!” George said.

“I’m never going in a boy’s room again,” Bess said, still shaking. “You never know what you’ll find.”

Nancy, Bess, and George rode their bikes to Main Street. The movie equipment and trailers were still there.

As they parked their bikes, Nancy saw Mr. Bluestone and Vera.

“I don’t want them to see us here,” Nancy said. “Let’s hide.”

“Where?” Bess asked.

Nancy quickly looked around. There was plenty of space underneath a trailer.

“Under there,” Nancy said.

“It’s dirty!” Bess complained.

The girls slipped under the trailer and peeked out. They could only see Mr. Bluestone’s and Vera’s legs.

“Mmmmph,” Mr. Bluestone was saying. “Dese arck gooth.”

“Mmm-mmm,” Vera said.

“It sounds like they’re munching on something,” Nancy whispered.

“They shouldn’t talk with their mouths full,” Bess whispered back.

Nancy strained her ears to listen.

“Vera, I’ve eaten turtles before but this one was the tastiest,” Mr. Bluestone said.

Bess gave a little shriek. George clapped her hand over Bess’s mouth.

Vera went on. “And the crunchiest. There’s more where that came from in the makeup trailer.”

“Excellent!” Mr. Bluestone said.

“Did you hear what they said?” Nancy asked after Mr. Bluestone and Vera walked away.

“They just ate a turtle,” George said.

“Oh, no,” Bess said. “Not Harry!”
