drinks.
    Sarah turned her attention back to Scoop. “Yes, I do.” She feigned an innocent smile. “I’ve got an awesome plan.”

Chapter Six

    Scoop’s lips twitched and then grew into a wry smile. “I’m almost afraid to ask what it is.”
    Sarah giggled. “You’ll love it.”
    â€œRi-i-ight…” Scoop raised his eyebrows and stared at her; his eyes flashed with skepticism. “What is it?”
    Sarah took a deep breath. “Okay, we’ve got to figure out who this crazy guy is that followed us and find out what his connection is to our parents.”
    â€œOkay,” Scoop answered warily.
    â€œWe know he went into this spooky house, but it doesn’t appear that he’s the owner.”
    â€œYeah.”
    â€œSo we need some way to get inside and look around.”
    â€œAnd how are you going to do that?” Scoop leaned forward and made eye contact with Sarah.
    â€œWell…” She shifted in her seat and bit her lip. “Since you used to be a reporter… I thought you could go and interview them.”
    â€œReally?” Scoop snorted. “And what would I be interviewing them about?”
    â€œThe Robinson family started the logging business in Alden. I figured you could do some sort of historical article or something like that.”
    â€œDid you forget that I’m retired? I don’t work for a paper anymore.”
    Sarah shrugged. “So, they don’t know that.”
    â€œI see. You want me to lie to them.” Scoop pursed his lips.
    â€Yep.” Sarah eyed the retired reporter. “I mean there’s no law against impersonating a reporter is there?”
    Scoop laughed and wiped his forehead with his hand as if he were drenched in sweat. “No, I don’t suppose there is.” He sighed and stroked his chin. “Of course, I could say I was doing a freelance article for an independent publication.”
    â€œSo… you’ll do it?”
    He sighed. “I’ll do it.”
    â€œCool beans,” Jackie trumpeted.
    â€œOkay here’s the plan. We go up to the Robinson’s tomorrow morning and you’ll knock on the door and see if they’ll agree to an interview.” Sarah spoke quickly, hoping to get the plan down before Scoop changed his mind. She glanced at Scott. “He’ll need to wear a wire. Do you think you can get one from your dad?”
    â€œI’ll… try.” Scott squirmed in his seat.
    â€œNo need,” the retired reporter interrupted. “I’ve got a device that can record and take pictures all in one. I’ve used it many times in my work and it’ll do the job.”
    â€œWill we be able to listen in like cops do in those awesome detective shows?” Sarah asked.
    Scoop shook his head. “No, I’m afraid not.”
    Sarah pouted. “Bummer.”
    â€œThis isn’t going to be dangerous, is it?” Lacey asked, biting her lip.
    Scoop shook his head. “No… I’ve done this a million times.”
    Lacey sighed and leaned back. “Good.”
    â€œI’ll come up with some interview questions tonight. What time are we leaving?”
    â€œWe’re leaving at seven in the morning,” Sarah said, glancing around the table.
    â€œWhat? Are you kids skipping school?”
    Sarah bit her lip and stifled the irritated groan that was about to escape. “Yes. We’re so close to finding my parents. I couldn’t sit in classes tomorrow and concentrate.”
    â€œI’m not really comfortable with this.” Scoop pushed back from the table.
    â€œWait!” Sarah stood. “You have to do this.”
    â€œI don’t have to do anything.”
    â€œThat freak saw all of us. We can’t do it — he’ll recognize us.”
    â€œHow are you going to get past your parents?” Scoop stood and placed his hands on his hips. “You know the school is
