Her parents had given them permission to take popcorn and sodas up to the loft for the evening. She propped herself on her elbows and looked at her friends. “We had an okay day, I guess. Only a half-dozen entries, but at least we got word out to all the people who are on our suspect list.” Colt tossed buttered popcorn into his mouth and chewed, then asked, “Did you see any of them today? I never got a look at the ones you were talking about.” Tori shook her head. “I didn’t, but I wasn’t with Kate every minute. We had lessons on top of everything else, and I won’t miss a chance to ride Starlight.” She grinned. “I still can’t believe he’s mine. Well, mine and Mrs. Maynard’s. He’s such an awesome horse.” Melissa took a sip of her soda. “That was pretty cool of Mrs. Maynard to give him to you. How often does she come to visit? I’ve been over to see her once in the past week, but with this event going on, I’ve been busy.”
