Is Ally breaking up the Beans?

Zee

Mr. P banged on the cabin door. “Five minutes until lights-out, girls!” he yelled.

“Anybody need to go to the bathhouse?” Zee asked.

Chloe looked over the top of the book she was reading. “Nope,” she said. “I want to finish this chapter tonight.”

“I’m good,” Ally told Zee. And a chorus of nos from the other girls followed.

“Okay,” Zee said. “See you in five.”

When Zee went outside, she heard a strange grumbling voice with a weird accent. “My leg.”

Zee trembled and looked around. “Who’s there?”

“Give me my leg,” the voice demanded. It sounded as though it was getting closer.

The Mountain Man!

Zee rushed back into the cabin. “Did you hear that?” she asked when she got inside.

Chloe had already put her book down. “I did!” she said.

“Me too,” Missy said. With a suspicious expression, she added, “Are you sure it wasn’t you?”

“No way!” Ally said. “Zee wouldn’t do that to her friends. Plus, look how scared she is.”

“I thought you didn’t believe in the Mountain Man,” Zee told her.

“I don’t, but I believe you,” Ally said. “If you say you heard something, then someone is definitely out there.”

“Everyone grab a flashlight,” Chloe commanded. “We’re going to find the Mountain Man.”

Kathi stood up.

“Are we going, too?” Jen asked her.

“I’m losing too much beauty sleep over this horrible creature,” Kathi explained. “Not that I actually need it. The sooner we find out what’s making all that noise, the better.”

“What about lights-out?” Missy asked.

“We’ll just have to take a chance that we’ll get into trouble,” Ally said. “This is really important.”

The group stormed out of the cabin, shining their flashlight beams into the woods. But all they saw were trees. Silent trees.

Zee heard voices coming from the boys’ cabin. She pointed her flashlight at it. “If we heard something, maybe they did, too.”

As the girls approached the cabin, Zee could hear what the boys were saying.

“Who’s your favorite band, Jasper?” Marcus asked.

“I suppose that would be GMT,” Jasper said. “They’re a British band.”

“Greenwich Meantime?” Landon asked.

“Do you know them?” Jasper said. The moody tone he had been using with Landon earlier had disappeared.

“Yeah,” Landon told him. “I just downloaded their new CD.”

Ally stormed into cabin two. “All right! Which one of you lost a leg?” she demanded. The other girls followed.

“Huh?” Landon said.

“Did you find an extra one?” Jasper asked, cracking Marcus and Conrad up.

“Didn’t you guys hear a voice outside?” Chloe asked.

A puzzled look spread across Conrad’s face. “No.”

“Maybe because we were talking,” Marcus said.

“We heard the Mountain Man!” Chloe announced.

“He said something to Zee!” Ally added.
