Most of the guys bunking at Boston Garden were over at The House by now, watching the nightly counselors’ game.

Danny and Will and Ty were sitting on some big rocks at the edge of the woods, overlooking the water.

Danny told them that according to Tess, her uncle’s place was a couple of miles away if you went the long way, which meant by car. But she said it was actually a lot closer if you went across Coffee Lake, maybe halfway between Right Way and the girls’ camp across the water.

“Too far to swim,” Will said.

“Ya think?” Ty said.

“So we’ll take a canoe,” Will said, “definitely.” Nodding his head quickly—Will was completely happy talking to himself—“Brilliant,” he said.

“Oh, right,” Danny said. “They’re just going to let us take a canoe out at this time of night.”

Will looked at him like he was the biggest loser on earth.

“We’re not going out on the lake now,” he said. “We’re going to wait until it gets dark, and then we’re going to steal one of these long, skinny boats, and then we’re going to see our friend Tess Hewitt.”

“We’re stealing a boat,” Danny said.

“Well, borrowing,” Will said. “I don’t intend to keep it. What am I going to do with a canoe?”

“We get it,” Danny said.

Ty said, “Why don’t we just wait until the counselors’ game is over and then ask Nick or somebody to drive us?”

“First of all, nobody ever knows when the counselors’ game is going to end,” Will said. “Sometimes they play until ten o’clock.”

Will Stoddard smiled then, looking at Danny, then Ty, then back at Danny, his eyes, as always, full of fun and trouble at the same time.

“Second, and most importantly,” Will said, “if Nick or somebody just plain old drove us over to her in the van, what kind of adventure would that be?”

Danny and Ty told him they hated to admit it, but he made a good point.
