grinned.
    “Let’s take a look around the rest of the park,” Kenny suggested. She looked really wound up by now – Katie Shaw was in for a right earful if we ever caught up with her!
    We left the play area, and walked across the grass towards the football field. We were just going past the ice-cream stand, which was closed, when Frankie clutched my arm.
    “Look!” she hissed.
    We could hardly believe our eyes. The M&Ms were walking along the path ahead of us, arm in arm!
    “It’s them!” Kenny hissed furiously. “It’s the Queen and the Goblin –
they’re
Katie Shaw!”
    “And they’ve probably got the disk on them right now,” I whispered.
    “Quick, after them!” Frankie said.
    “I’m gonna push both of them into the duckpond!” Kenny said under her breath, as we began to run towards them. “Don’t try to stop me, anybody!”
    “Hang on a minute.” Rosie had stopped dead, while the rest of us were still running.
    “Come on, Rosie-Posie, or we might lose them!” Kenny yelled impatiently over her shoulder. In the distance we could see the M&Ms heading towards the park gate.
    “Look!” Rosie beckoned us to come back, and pointed over at the football field. Two very familiar figures were knocking a football around. It was Ryan Scott and Danny McCloud!
    “What are they doing here?” Kenny gasped.
    “I dunno,” Rosie wailed, “but it could be them, couldn’t it?
They
could be Katie Shaw!”
    We all groaned. It was pretty bad luck to see
two
of our best suspects at the same time. What were we supposed to do now?
    “Me and Fliss’ll go after the M&Ms,” Kenny decided quickly. “And Frankie, you and Rosie and Lyndz go after Ryan and Danny.”
    Fliss pouted. “Why can’t I stay with Frankie and the others?” she asked.
    “Because you’ll turn to jelly if Ryan smiles at you!” Kenny said, grabbing her hand. “Come on!”
    “Hold on a minute.” Frankie was staring through the railings at the street outside the park. “Who’s
that?
”
    We all stared. Would you believe it, Catherine Shaw was walking along the pavement, eating a Wispa bar!
    “Oh no!” Kenny slapped her forehead. “They’re
all
here!”
    “What are we going to do now?” Frankie asked. “We can’t accuse them
all
of being Katie Shaw.”
    “Maybe we should just send an email to her saying we want to set up another meeting,” Rosie suggested.
    “Yeah, we could make it this afternoon,” Fliss said.
    “And we can still try and catch them red-handed,” I added. “Then Tom will get his disk back in time to do the posters for the gig.”
    “Good idea,” Kenny agreed. “Let’s go back to my place – it’s closest.”
    We all trailed out of the park, and headed for the McKenzie house. It was pretty frustrating to know that
one
of our suspects might even have had the disk on them when we saw them a few minutes ago. But Frankie was right. We couldn’t go around accusing everyone of being Katie Shaw. Not unless we had some proof anyway.
    Kenny’s mum let us in when we rang the doorbell.
    “Did you have a good sleepover, girls?” she asked, then took a closer look at us. “My goodness, you look like you were up all night!”
    “Don’t be silly, Mum,” Kenny said, trying to smother this absolutely enormous yawn. Of course, that set us all off yawning then.
    “Yes, I can see you all look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed,” Mrs McKenzie said, raising her eyebrows.
    “Mum, is it all right if we use the computer?” Kenny asked quickly, before Mrs M had time to ask any more awkward questions.
    Her mum nodded. “Your dad’s out on an emergency call, so there’s no-one in the study. And Molly’s out with Louise.”
    “Good,” Kenny muttered, as we headed for her dad’s study. “We don’t want Molly the Monster finding out what’s going on – we’d never hear the end of it!”
    Kenny’s dad’s a doctor, so the study’s full of all these gruesome charts and medical books. He’s even got a
