Megan glared at the girls. “Are you going to tell me where you got it?”

Now Bess and George were tongue-tied. So Nancy did the only thing she could do: She told the truth. Megan seemed surprised when she heard about the note. “Well, you’re staying in Abigail’s old room,” she said. “And now you’ve found Abigail’s necklace. Maybe Abigail wrote the note and hid it behind her dresser.”

“Hmm,” said Nancy. “I hadn’t thought of that.”

“See?” said Megan. “I’m a detective too! How about I help you guys look for the next clue? After all, I know my way around. I can think of a million places to hide more clues. You need me on your case!”

All of a sudden, Bess could speak again. “Oh, we solve mysteries on our own all the time,” she said.

Nancy glanced at her friends, then turned to Megan and said, “We’ll show you the map after the movie. We’re trying to keep a low profile, you know.”

Megan winked and said, “Meet you upstairs.”

The girls settled into the Webbs’ living room to watch the video with Hayley. Nancy had seen the movie before, but she kept quiet while the others watched. Megan, on the other hand, talked through the whole thing. “This is my favorite part!” she shouted, pointing at the screen. “Wait till you see what happens next!”

“Do you mind?” said Hayley. “Some of us want to hear what happens too.”

Megan paused the movie for a second and said, “Some of us know something you don’t know, Hayley.” Megan looked meaningfully at Nancy, who looked the other way. She didn’t want to start a fight. Megan and her sister seemed to argue all the time.

Nancy went back to her room before the movie was over. Bess and George arrived a little later. Now they were just waiting for Megan.

Bess flopped on a bottom bunk and said, “How could you tell her?”

Nancy shook her head. “I’m sorry!” she said. Nancy had been looking at the map, which she showed to her friends again. “I just can’t figure out how we’ll find this next clue. We got lucky the last time, but this time we need some help. And Megan really does know her way around.”

George threw up her hands, and Bess looked at the floor. Nancy took their silence as a good sign. She reached for her notebook, traced the shape of the puzzle necklace into it, and wrote “Abigail’s necklace.”

“So Abigail left that note,” Bess said as if nothing had happened. “But why? What kind of secret could she have?”

“Maybe Megan knows,” George replied. “That’s one good reason to have her on our team.”

Nancy smiled. Just then there was a knock at the door, and Megan Meaney walked into the room.

“Here I am. I don’t think I’ve been followed,” she whispered, laughing. “When do I get to see the map?”

Nancy unfolded it again and showed it to Megan. “Here’s where we found the first puzzle piece,” she explained, pointing to the X near the docks.

Megan began talking.
