‘That was amazing!’ he yapped, spitting out his mouthpiece as soon as he surfaced.

‘I know!’ woofed Star, turning to wave to Hero and X. Her eyes widened with excitement when she saw an otter looking at her. It was lying on its back in the water, eating mussels.

Star paddled over. ‘Hello,’ she said, in her best Otterese.

‘What are you two? A pair of dogfish?’ The otter chuckled to himself and cracked open another mussel.

‘You live in a lovely lake,’ said Star.

‘Thank you. Most of it’s all right,’ said the otter. ‘But I’m not so keen on that bit round the bend.’

‘Which bit?’ asked Star.

‘The part in front of the big house. Stay away from there, little dogfish.’

Star felt a cold chill run down her back under the wetsuit. ‘Why? What’s there?’ she asked.

‘A village, under the waves,’ said the otter. ‘We used to play there, but not now. It’s haunted.’

Star shuddered. ‘Haunted?’

‘Yes. Strange things live there. Strange lights shine from the houses. And, last night, a beast arrived.’

‘A beast?’ squeaked Star, but the otter had finished eating its mussels.

‘Gotta go. Bye-bye, little dogfish!’ it cried, disappearing with a flip of its tail.

‘You look worried, sis,’ said Spud. ‘What did the otter say?’

Star swallowed. The monster could be lurking under her paws right now! ‘Um, you know that dream you had?’

‘Ye-es,’ said Spud, watching her face.

‘Well, it might not have been a dream after all,’ whispered Star.

‘What!’ yelped Spud.

‘That otter saw a monster last night too. In the lake in front of Gaz Guzzler’s mansion.’

‘Exactly where I saw it!’

‘The otter said there’s a haunted village down there.’

‘H-h-haunted?’

The two pups stared at one another.

‘Let’s get out of here,’ gasped Spud, breaking into front crawl.

Star turned and breaststroked for the shore as fast as her short legs would go.

‘You know what I think?’ said Star as they scrambled out of the water. ‘I think we’ve got a mystery to solve.’

Spud nodded. He stood proudly and puffed out his chest. ‘We are Spy Dogs, after all. And we know how to use our scuba-diving suits now. How about we pay that haunted village a little visit tonight?’

‘It’s a deal, bro,’ yapped Star.
