Rylie nodded.

"I remember hearing someone crying."

Carson stopped typing.

"At night?"

"Late."

"After curfew?"

"Yes."

Judy wrote one sentence.

Who was crying?

"I don't know."

"Did you investigate?"

"We weren't supposed to leave our cabins after lights out."

"But?"

Rylie looked embarrassed.

"We snuck out anyway."

That sounded more like seventeen-year-old girls.

"What happened?"

"Cynthia wanted to scare everyone."

The name tightened the room.

Victim One.

"Cynthia said Cabin Nine was haunted."

"Because of the crying?"

Rylie nodded.

"We thought one of the younger campers was homesick and had gone there."

"Were there campers in Cabin Nine?"

"No."

Every Ranger looked at one another.

"No?" Judy asked.

"It was empty."

Silence settled over the room.
