than anything else. Hanna distinctly remembered how Ali kept looking over at the woods and her house,<br />

as<br />

if she thought some<strong>on</strong>e was listening. Then, after whining about her missing piece for a while, Ali<br />

suddenly<br />

snapped back to her bitchy, frosty self, walking away from Hanna and the others without another word,<br />

like<br />

there was something more important <strong>on</strong> her mind than talking to four losers.<br />

When it was clear Ali wasn’t coming back outside, Hanna had walked to the fr<strong>on</strong>t yard and retrieved her<br />

bike. Ali’s street had seemed so pleasant. The Cavanaughs had a pretty red tree house in their side yard.<br />

Spencer’s family had a big windmill spinning at the back of the property. There was a house down the<br />

street<br />

that had a humungous six-car garage and a water fountain in the fr<strong>on</strong>t yard. Later, Hanna would learn it<br />

was where M<strong>on</strong>a lived.<br />

And then she’d heard an engine backfiring. A sleek, vintage black car with tinted windows chugged at<br />

Ali’s<br />

curb, as if waiting…or watching. Something about it made the hair <strong>on</strong> the back of Hanna’s neck stand up.<br />

Maybe that’s who stole Ali’s flag, she’d thought. Not that she ever found out for sure.<br />

Hanna gazed at Naomi, who was adding Splenda to her mint tea. Naomi and Riley used to be Ali’s best<br />

friends in sixth grade, but right after Time Capsule started, Ali ditched them both. She never explained<br />

why.<br />

Maybe Naomi and Riley had been the <strong>on</strong>es who’d stolen Ali’s flag—maybe they’d been inside that black<br />

car<br />

Hanna had seen at the curb. And maybe that was why Ali dropped them—maybe Ali asked them for her<br />

flag<br />

back, and when they denied they’d taken it, she cut them off. But if that was what happened, why didn’t<br />

Naomi or Riley turn in the flag as their own? Why did the flag stay lost?<br />

There was a commoti<strong>on</strong> at the fr<strong>on</strong>t of Steam, and the crowd parted. Eight Rosewood Day lacrosse boys<br />

strutted by in a cocky, c<strong>on</strong>fident herd. Mike M<strong>on</strong>tgomery was wedged between Noel Kahn and James<br />

Freed.
