Grant turned the package around and they all looked at the mailing label: OCCUPANT POST OFFICE BOX 101A RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “That’s weird,” said Grant. “Someone lives in a post office box?” Courtney giggled. “No, silly,” she said. “That’s just where he gets his mail.” “Listen!” said Grant, and he shook the package hard. “Wow!” said Christina. “If anything ever sounded like rattling bones, it’s that.” Alex snatched the package away. “We’re going to open it and see!” “No!” said Courtney. “That’s against the law; we’ll all go to jail.” “Well, so will my dad for a long time if we don’t solve this mystery,” Alex argued. “Everyone who votes to open the package, raise your right hand,” said Christina. 128
