Undercover Papist: John Paul 2 High Book 4

“Come on, June,” Brian heard Allie say. “Let’s go.” He and Mahoney ran to the front door.
Brian opened it a crack and peered through. The two girls were walking away, back to the girls’ cabins.
“No!” Brian hissed. “I have to…oh, the heck with it!”
He threw the door open, pounded down the stairs and followed them, dodging around other campers and counselors, trying to keep them in sight.
As he drew near the girls cabins, he ducked behind a large boulder and peeked around the side, just in time to see Allie enter Cabin 24. The other girl sat down on the front step with a gloomy look.
“Dude!” Mahoney ran up to him, looking alarmed. “What are you doing?”
Brian peered at the cabin. “I have to see what she’s up to.”
“You can’t go near the girls’ cabins!”
“Look,” Brian hissed, “If you don’t want to come along, fine. Just be quiet!”
“All right, all right!” Mahoney whispered. “What now?”
Brian didn’t answer. A wild, reckless mood had taken hold of him. He scanned the crowds, looking for some cover. There! Two girls were carrying a large canoe downhill…
“Now!” he whispered, and dashed out from behind the boulder just as the two girls passed by. Under the cover of the canoe, they darted into the alley between Cabin 24 and Cabin 23.
“All right,” Mahoney whispered as they both hunched in the alley. “You better know what you’re doing, because we’re gonna get in big trouble if we get caught.”
