Between this and scooping up animal poop, she just couldn't stay out of mischief with that boy.

At least he'd asked a really good question, though. "Yeah, have you heard something? What should we be looking for?" she asked. She kind of got the impression Mr. Raine wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, so maybe he'd slip up and say something. Good thinking, Kitt. Really good thinking.

"Trent is going to kill us for bringing an uninvited guest onto the grounds and into the castle," she whispered to him. "If he's up to no good, though, that might be our best shot at catching him..." Isla turned toward Raine but didn't necessarily echo Kitt's offer. At least when it was all said and done, she could at least say 'It wasn't me!'.
