The place was totally trashed. Dresser drawers had been pulled out and upended, strewing clothes everywhere. The desk lamp was tipped over. Books were lying on the floor near the bookcase. The bedspread was wadded up in the middle of the floor. Even Toy Toy’s food dishes and box of puppy pads had been tossed around. If Josie was behind all the mischief at the lodge, why would she ransack her own room? “I just found it like this,” Josie was saying in response to Joe’s questions. She sounded upset. No wonder. “I’ve been with Mrs. G until just now. It looked normal when I left for breakfast.” “So you’ve been with Mrs. Gallagher since we saw you last?” I asked. Josie nodded, looking pale. “I just got here. I wanted to get Toy Toy a snack before lunch.” “But who would do something like this to your room?” Chet sounded confused. “I thought you were the only one causing trouble around here.” “Exactly what I was thinking.” I stared at Josie. “Want to retract that confession?”
