“Perfect,” Splash said as Spinner swam into the cave. He was completely hidden from view behind some waving sea plumes in front of the entrance. “You can hide in here whenever you hear someone coming. We’ll come back after school.”

After that, the four dolphin friends had to hurry to make it back to Coral Cove Dolphin School. They swam in through the entrance just as it was time for classes to begin.

“Do you see Mullet anywhere?” Splash whispered as they swam toward the Music area. Bay was talking to Old Salty over near the kelp forest, so the friends had a moment to talk.

Echo looked around. “He’s over there with Finny and Shelly and the rest of his school pod,” she whispered back. “I guess he didn’t tell the teachers what happened after all.”

“Why not?” Flip wondered. “That’s kind of weird.”

For a second Pearl was ready to agree. Then she thought about it and realized that maybe it wasn’t so weird after all.

“Not really,” she said. “He was probably too embarrassed to tell anyone he was scared of such a small shark.”

Echo nodded. “You’re probably right. Plus, blacktip sharks don’t usually eat dolphins. They’re too small.”

“Yeah.” Flip grinned. “We should remind him of that next time he calls us scaredy-babies.”

“No!” Splash warned. “You can’t say anything to him about Spinner. Not until we get him back to his family.”

“Not after that, either,” Echo said. “If he knows we were helping a shark, he’d tell the teachers for sure. We’d be in big trouble.”

“Oh, right.” Flip nodded. “Okay, I won’t say a word.”

“Good.” Pearl shot another uneasy glance at Mullet. “We’ll just have to hope that Mullet doesn’t say a word about Spinner, either.”
