Jessie looked up from the map. “I guess we’ll just keep following the clues.”

“Easier said than done,” remarked Violet.

“That’s true,” Jessie said, glancing down at the map. “With so many bridges, we really have our work cut out for us.”

Nobody said anything for a while. Then Jessie came across something that made her eyes widen.

“I think we can narrow our search,” she announced, slowly raising her gaze.

The others were instantly curious. “Don’t keep us in the dark, Jessie,” Henry pleaded. “What’s going on?”

“Well, maybe this is just a weird coincidence,” Jessie began, “but I just found Troll Avenue on the map!”

“What?” Henry blinked in surprise.

As they crowded around, Jessie pointed a finger. “It’s right here in the Fremont neighborhood.”

Henry studied the map closely. “You’re right, Jessie,” he said. “And Troll Avenue leads under the Aurora Bridge.”

Violet pressed her hands against her cheeks. “I can’t believe it!”

“Then … that means—” began Benny.

Henry cut in. “It means the troll must be under the Aurora Bridge!”

“Now we’re getting somewhere!” Benny rubbed his hands together.

“We can’t be sure,” said Jessie. “But it’s worth checking out.”

Benny was already halfway to the door. “What are we waiting for?”

“Daylight,” Henry said with a laugh. “It’s late, Benny. Remember?”

Benny looked over at the darkened window. “Oh, right!”

“I vote we get a good night’s sleep,” Henry said in the middle of a yawn.

“Good idea,” said Jessie. “Tomorrow we have a date with a troll!”
