CHAPTER SEVEN

All the campers got together in front of the stage for the next competition. Although none of the girls from Mitchie’s team were saying it out loud, the fact that they were in fifth place was foremost in their thoughts. Suddenly, their being one of the three teams on the plaque was a real possibility.

“We have one more event before we break for lunch,” Brown said, “and it’s my favorite one. Other camps play capture the flag, which is cool. But here at Camp Rock, we play a game called Capture the Keys to the Tour Bus.”

Everybody laughed.

“It is a game that was inspired by a time when yours truly misplaced the keys to our bus while my band was on tour. Our manager gave me thirty minutes to find them before he was going to rent another bus and make me pay for it out of my own pocket. Luckily, my mates pitched in and we found those keys with three minutes to spare.

“Now you’ve got the same deal,” he went on. “I’ve hidden the keys to the Connect Three bus somewhere here at Camp Rock. If you find the keys, go to the bus and blast the horn. If you do it in less than thirty minutes, not only do you win the race, you also get to have a rock-star lunch in the bus with the band.”

This bit of information led to cheers and applause.

“We’re even going to give you a clue,” Brown added with a twinkle in his eyes.

Shane walked out with an electric guitar, and the campers went wild again.

Lorraine stifled a squeal. Even though she had been at Camp Rock for a while now, she still couldn’t get over the fact that they were privy to little concerts from the Shane Gray.

“Shane here is going to play a little something for you,” Brown said with a smile. “You’ve got to pay close attention, because it’s the only clue you’re going to get.”

Shane smiled and played four notes on the guitar.

Now Mitchie was really confused. “That’s it?”

“What’s the clue?” Lorraine asked, somewhat disappointed there had been no lyrics or signature dance moves.

Tess just shrugged.

Brown was delighting in the difficulty every one was having. “I told you to pay close attention,” he said. “All right, Shane, play it for them one more time.”

Shane nodded, got back into a serious rock-star pose—and played the same four notes.

Brown held up a stopwatch. “That’s it. No more help. You have thirty minutes.”

The teams didn’t need any more encouragement. Immediately, they ran off in every direction. They would turn the camp upside down if it meant finding those keys.

The Vibe team, however, stayed where they were. They weren’t just going to run around like chickens with their heads cut off. They wanted to come up with a plan.

“So the music is the clue. Any ideas?” Mitchie asked.

The girls pondered silently. “Did it sound like the beginning of a song?” Ella finally asked.

“That could be it,” Lorraine said. “Maybe the title of the song is the clue.
