“Okay, your suitcase looks good, ma’am,” Allie said.

“But you didn’t even look in it!” I said to Allie. “She might have a stuffed animal or something inside it.”

“So?” Allie said.

“So that’s not allowed.”

Allie put her hands on her hips. “What’s wrong with bringing a stuffed animal, Piper?”

“Smuggling,” I heard Jacob say very, very quietly behind my ear.

“I said, no smuggling allowed,” I mumbled.

“I am not smuggling!” Camilla said.

“Settle down, everyone!” said Captain Arabella. “No one is smuggling anything.”

“But how can you be sure?” I said.
