CHAPTER SIX

Hide and Peek

“I forgot about Nadine!” George said. “She said Hollywood Heather should belong to her.”

“Wasn’t Nadine wearing orange pj’s?” Bess asked.

“So?” George asked.

“The orange button clue!” Nancy exclaimed. “Good catch, Bess!”

Another message popped up from Pickles99. It said, “Hello? Are you there?”

“I forgot about Brianne!” Nancy said. She quickly typed, “It’s news to me.

Gotta go!”

“Now we have three suspects,” Nancy said as she logged off. “Cassidy, Trina, and Nadine.”

“Let’s find them,” George said. “And tell them we think they took Hollywood Heather!”

“No way, George!” Nancy said. “Good detectives always ask lots of questions before accusing anyone.”

“What kind of questions?” Bess asked.

“That’s what we have to figure out,” Nancy said.

“Can we figure it out over pizza?” Bess asked. “I’m getting hungry.”

“You just had scrambled eggs!” George said.

“That was three hours ago,” Bess cried.

Nancy printed out their notes.

“A real case file!” she said. “How cool is that?”

Nancy got permission from her dad to go to Pizza Paradise on River Street.

Hannah drove Bess and George to their houses to drop off their gear. Then Mrs. Fayne drove the girls to River Street in her van.

Mrs. Fayne owned a catering business. The back of the van was filled with containers of coleslaw and potato salad.

“I have to drop off this food at a bridal shower, girls,” Mrs. Fayne said after she parked. “You go straight to the pizza parlor and I’ll meet you there at two o’clock.”

“Two o’clock?” Bess said. She glanced at her international watch. “Is that two o’clock in England, Italy, or China?”

“Show-off!” George said with a smirk.

Nancy glanced at her own watch. It said one fifteen. That gave them lots of time to eat pizza and talk about the case.

After saying good-bye to Mrs. Fayne, the girls walked up the block to Pizza Paradise. Halfway there Bess grabbed Nancy’s arm and whispered, “Don’t look now—but look who’s there!”

“Bess!” Nancy said. “How can I not look and look at the same time?”

“Then—just look!” Bess whispered.

Nancy looked where Bess was pointing. Standing in front of a grocery store were Nadine Nardo and her mom.

“I don’t want Nadine to see us yet,” Nancy said quietly. “Let’s hide somewhere.”

River Street was lined with trees. Nancy, Bess, and George ducked behind an oak tree with a thick trunk. They were close enough to hear Nadine and her mom talking.
