bunk.
    “You know what we’ll do?” Fran said. “We’ll figure out who raided our bunk and we’ll move all their beds onto the grass. We’ll fill their left sneakers with popcorn and hide all their right sneakers. They’ll have to hop.”

    Betsy said, “No. We’ll put potato chips in their sneakers. It will be so funny hearing them crunch as they walk.”
    “Popcorn and potato chips,” Fran laughed. “This is so exciting.”
    “But first we have to know who raided us,” Terri said. “It’s a mystery, and Cam has solved lots of those. Maybe she’ll solve this one, too.”

    “I solve mysteries by remembering something I’ve seen,” Cam told Terri as they walked to the baseball field. “But I don’t think I’ve seen anything that could help. When we left for the lake, our bunk was neat. When we came back, it was a mess. That’s all I know. I don’t know if that’s enough to figure out who raided us.”
    “Close your eyes and say, ‘

!’ Terri suggested. “That should help.”
    “Not now,” Cam said. “I can’t close my eyes while I’m walking.”
    “Yes you can. I’ll hold your hand. You won’t get lost or bump into anything.”
    Terri took Cam’s hand. Then Cam closed her eyes and said, “

!”
    “I’m looking at the bunk now,” Cam said with her eyes closed. “I’m looking at how it was just before we went to the lake. The beds were all against the wall. The bunk was very neat.”
    Terri led Cam onto the baseball field.
    “

!” Cam said again.
    “Now I’m looking at the bunk when we came back from the lake. It was a real mess. There was even writing on the ceiling.”

    “Sit down,” Terri told Cam. “There’s a bench behind you.”
    Cam opened her eyes. She looked back. Then she sat on the bench.
    “I didn’t see any clues,” Cam said. “I just saw a neat bunk and a messy bunk.”
    Eric and Danny’s group, B8, was already on the field. Cam’s team was hitting first.
    Fran told each girl when she would bat. Cam would bat fifth, right after Terri. Fran also told each girl which position she would play in the field. Cam would play third base.
    Cam sat on the bench next to Terri. They waited for their turns to bat.
    Betsy was up first. Jim, the sports director, was pitching for both teams. He was the umpire, too.
    Betsy hit the ball toward Eric at shortstop. He moved over a few steps and caught it.
    “Maybe Eric knows something about the raid,” Terri said. “Betsy thought it might be B8. Let’s ask Eric.”
    Cam and Terri walked along the left side of the field.
    “Eric!” Cam called. “I need to ask you something.”
    “We’re in the middle of a game,” Jim told Cam and Terri. “Ask him later.”
    Cam and Terri sat on the ground by third base, right beside where Danny was playing.
    “Ask me,” Danny whispered.
    Terri asked, “Did you raid our bunk?”
    “Maybe.”
    “Don’t talk to Danny,” Cam said. “Everything is a joke to him.”
    Stacy swung and missed three times. She struck out.
    Gina was up next. She hit the ball high over the center fielder’s head. She ran around the bases for a home run. The girls of G8 cheered. Gina smiled. Then she went to her seat on the bench and picked up her book.
    “Terri,” Fran called. “You’re up.”
    Terri hurried to the backstop. She took a bat and stood by home plate.
    “So, what happened to your bunk?” Dannyasked Cam. “Were there jokes written on the walls? Pajamas hanging from the ceiling? Jelly on the doorknob?”
    “No,” Cam told him. “No jokes and no jelly, so now I know you didn’t do it.”
    Terri swung. She hit the ball toward third base.
    “It’s yours, Danny,” Eric shouted.
    Danny turned just as the ball bounced in front of him. The ball rolled past him and he ran after it. While Danny chased the ball, Terri ran to second base.
    Now it was Cam’s turn at bat.
    She held her bat up and looked out at Jim. But suddenly she had an idea.
    “That might
