The Snoop

The silence stretched out.

The girl at the table didn’t seem at all put out by four sweaty teenagers crowded into the same room with her. She didn’t seem interested in volunteering any information, either. She still held the magazine open as if to indicate that she had already said everything that was necessary.

“Who are you?” asked Eve.

“Jo.” After a minute, she finally realized that Eve was expecting more. “I live down the street. I used to babysit for Logan and Darcy.”

“Where did Logan go?”

“Dunno. Came to my house earlier, said he had some kind of emergency. Asked if I’d babysit until his mom came home. He had a whole wad of cash, and I didn’t have anything else to do, so…” She shrugged.

“He didn’t say what the emergency was?”

“Nope.”

“And he didn’t say where he was going.”

“Nope.”

Eve wanted to strangle this Jo person until her short little unhelpful answers popped out of her ears. “Did he give you a way to get a hold of him?”

“Um…” Jo was actually forced to put the magazine down while she looked around. She didn’t bother getting up from the chair, though. Finally her eyes landed on the fridge. “His mom’s number’s on that paper there. He said to call her if there was a problem.”

That didn’t sound like Logan at all. He would normally do anything to keep from bothering his mom at work. Something must be seriously wrong. Suddenly Eve couldn’t think about anything but how they had been warned that someone would try to get one of them alone. She cursed herself for going today without him. It didn’t matter that it was his idea. He had been acting weird for a while. Something might have already been wrong.

“You have to know something, Jo. It’s really important that we find him.”

“Sorry.” Jo didn’t seem sorry at all.

“I think I know where he went.”

Eve spun around. Darcy was standing in the hallway.

“Darcy! Did he tell you where he was going?”

“Of course not. He’s Logan. He doesn’t tell me anything. But there’s something I need to show you.” She turned and headed back to her bedroom. “Back here,” she called.

They all looked at each other for a moment, and then at Jo. But Jo had already gone back to her magazine, so they trooped down the hall and squeezed into the tiny bedroom Darcy shared with her mom.

Darcy was sitting on her bed with the Book of Sight on her lap.

Eve took a deep breath and tried to be casual. “You found Logan’s book?”

Darcy raised her eyebrows. “I know you think I’ve been snooping, so you don’t need to pretend with me. I was snooping. Logan came home this morning right when Mom was ready to go. He was acting super weird, kind of talking to himself and stuff, like he was arguing or something. Then all of a sudden he just starts throwing stuff in a duffle bag, like, sunglasses and a jacket and I don’t know what all. The last thing I see him put in there are two of these books.
