Nancy heard a jingling sound. Right away, she knew what it was.

Keys.

Nancy looked at Brett’s belt. A big key ring dangled from it. It had a lot of keys on it. But she didn’t see their key.

“Uh, listen,” Nancy said. “We wanted to ask you something. Did you see a cool-looking key on the table when you were in Bess’s house last night?”

Brett twisted his mouth into a funny shape.

“What do you mean?” he said. “I wasn’t in Bess’s house last night.”

“Yes, you were,” George said. “You came in for a drink of water. Remember? You were in that ghost costume.”

“What ghost costume?” Brett asked.

Bess opened her eyes wide. “Brett Sanderson, you told me you were going to be a ghost for Halloween,” she said. “And I saw you. That was you last night. I know it was.”

“No way,” Brett said. “I changed my mind. I decided to be a pirate instead. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you my costume.”

Nancy and George looked at each other. Nancy didn’t know what to think.

“Okay,” Bess said. “Show us.”

Brett went into his house. A minute later he came out wearing a pirate’s hat and carrying a sword. He had the other parts of his costume on a hanger.

Nancy looked at Brett’s pirate costume.

“What’s that?” she asked, pointing to some white stuff on his black hat and pants.

“That’s dried shaving cream,” Brett said. “Jeff and I had a shaving cream war last night.”

“Yeah,” Jeff said. “We were covered in the stuff. It was a lot of fun.”

Nancy was quiet for a minute. She remembered seeing some kids squirting shaving cream at each other. One of them might have been Brett.

“I guess that proves it wasn’t Brett, right?” Bess asked.

Nancy nodded. “But someone came into your house last night dressed as a ghost. If it wasn’t Brett, then who was it?”
