Chapter Seven

It wasn't easy for Cam to talk.She was holding Cloudy, and the dog wouldn't stop licking Cam's face.

Cam wiped her cheek. Then she said, "We have to get the man away from his desk.If we do that, we can switch the dogs."

Cloudy licked Cam's face again. Cam wiped her cheek and went on with her plan.

"Just stop it. You'll be in there soon," Cam told the dog.

"Is that you, Cloudy?" the man called out.He started to walk toward the open window.

"Oh, no," Cam said as she moved away from the window."You've ruined everything, Cloudy."

Tap. Tap. Donna was tapping at one of the dosed windows.

"Oh," Cam whispered to Cloudy, "I hope he goes to see who it is."
