With a burst of nervous energy, Nicki dove to the safety of the windowless side of the shed. As the others glided into place beside her, she put her finger across her lips and knelt to listen. "It's too hot in here," a voice said. "It's too hot everywhere tonight, after your brilliant move," another voice answered. "I hope you're not planning on hiding out here until everyone calms down. You'll be here a week." Christine's brother, Tommy, is in trouble, but he doesn't seem to realize it. Nicki, Meredith, Christine, Kim, and Laura take on an investigation that pits…

"Hurry," Laura urged Meredith. "This place is spooky when it's this quiet. Meredith stood at the end of the lane, concentrating. Suddenly the few remaining lights flickered.

Nicki tensed when a muffled sound from the other room caught her attention. She couldn't see into the room where Krisha, Christine, and Laura were sleeping, but she could hear the faint sound of someone moving around in the darkness. Had someone come in? Had they forgotten to lock the deadbolt on their door? Nicki slipped silently off her bed and padded across the floor until she was in the doorway. She stiffened as she heard a thump from the closet. If the girls were in their beds, who was in the closet? Something jerked on the edge of her gown, and Nicki clapped her own hand across her mouth…

A shadow fell upon the group as if a huge hand had passed before the sun. A rumble came spiraling down from the clouds overhead, and the wailing of the wind brought goosebumps to Nicki's arms. Nicki looked toward Meredith, who opened her mouth in a soundless scream and pointed to something behind Christine. Coming straight toward them was a radiant ball of dancing light. Without warning, the light ball darted into the leaves of a nearby oak tree. Even the air seemed to hold its breath until the top of the oak tree exploded in a shower of green leaves. Nicki and her friends are thrilled when they…

Nicki saw Jeremy give Meredith a puzzled look. But then there was no mistaking the snarling howl that erupted from Mr. Nichols' yard. It was just like Jeremy's nightmare. Nicki turned and saw the gate on the tall wooden fence swing open. There was a flash of bristly fir and teeth and anger. Killer was loose, and his fangs were bared and gleaming. He was streaking right toward Jeremy Newkirk! Pine Grove's track star, Jeremy Newkirk, has always been afraid of dogs, but now somebody is using that information to scare him out of Saturday's important race. Without Jeremy, Pine Grove will never win!…

In the gathering darkness, Nicki and Christine swam quietly toward the Mary Celeste II. The water was as black as ink around them, and Nicki tried not to think of the living things that might be passing by her in the warm water. They reached the stern of the boat where the overhead light on deck threw shadows in the water. Nicki lifted her face mask. "Are you going to climb up, or should I?" Christine's mouth fell open and her eyes bugged. "Behind you," she squealed. "Look!" Nicki whirled around. Behind her something was rising out of the water-something big and dark…

Drake Yu. Why would Drake call her after … what, five years? Six? Venus heard in his voice that resonance that was almost a growl, that titanium-hard determination to get what he wanted.
