Mr. Jansen stood behind Eric as he rang the doorbell of the Millers’ house. Mrs. Miller came out wearing the same long, frilly apron.

“Hello again,” she said. “The chocolate fudge bar is delicious.”

“The rice cakes are good, too,” Eric said.

Mr. Jansen stepped forward.

“My daughter is Jennifer Jansen, the pretty girl with red hair and freckles who came to your house earlier. She’s sitting in your yard right now and watching the yellow house next door. If you don’t want her there, I’ll tell her to leave.”

“She thinks someone is hiding in there,” Eric added.

“She does? Oh, my goodness! I must tell Jacob.”

Mrs. Miller came back a moment later with her husband.

“The Pells live next door,” Mr. Miller said, “but they’re on vacation. They won’t be back for several weeks.”

“Someone left a box of food on the back porch,” Eric said. “Cam is watching to see if anyone will come out and get it.”

“Who is Cam?” Mrs. Miller asked.

“Jennifer’s nickname is Cam,” Mr. Jansen explained. “It’s short for ‘The Camera.’ We call her that because she has a photographic memory.”

“Oh, well, your camera daughter might be right,” Mrs. Miller said. “The Pells’ nephew may be in the house. I’ve never met him, but I know he’s a writer. Mrs. Pell has told me that he has trouble finding a quiet place to work.”

“Let’s go outside and see if Jennifer has seen anyone,” Mr. Miller said.

Mr. Jansen and Eric waited while Mrs. Miller took off her apron and hung it in the closet. She put on a straw hat with a wide brim.

They all walked to the backyard. Eric sat on the grass next to Cam. The Millers and Mr. Jansen stood next to them.

Mr. Jansen asked Cam, “What makes you so sure there’s someone hiding in there?”
