Catman inspected the sack while I smelled a handful of the grain. “It’s the same feed as Midnight’s!” I exclaimed.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Gabrielle LeBlond stormed down the stalls toward us.

I stood up and braced myself. “We’re solving a mystery. Does this feed belong to you?”

Her pale face looked sunburned with rage. “Yes! Get away from there!” She started for me, but Ramon stepped between us.

“Gabrielle?” He sounded hurt, not angry. “Why did you buy it?”

“For Chaparral—not that it’s any of your business!” She glared at us.

Catman whispered to me, “Old horse.”

“Chaparral’s the only horse around here who needs special feed!” Gabrielle snapped. “So just keep your paws off!”

“Later, man,” Catman said. “Sorry.”

“Sorry?” I repeated.

Catman nearly dragged me out of the tent.

Ramon followed. “I feel lousy for accusing her. Poor Gabrielle!”

“Poor Gabrielle?” I couldn’t believe these guys! Just because she was pretty—okay, gorgeous. “Are you crazy? Okay, maybe the feed is for the old Lipizzan. That still doesn’t explain how it got into Midnight’s bin! Gabrielle probably put it there! She’s jealous of you, Ramon!”

“Any cat could make that feed scene,” Catman said.

“Maybe it was a mistake,” Ramon suggested.

Note to self: Don’t waste your breath trying to reason with boys!

Gabrielle may have fooled them, but she didn’t fool me. For all I knew, she was in cahoots with Dinglehopper. So it was up to me to protect Midnight Mystery. “Ramon, make sure Midnight gets plain oats for now on. Mix it with a tablespoon of oil for a couple of days to calm him.”

I turned to Catman. “As for me, I’ll be keeping my eye on Dinglehopper and Gabrielle LeBlond!”
