Ghost Detectors Book 11: Beware the Headless Horseman!
Dandy let out a guilty sigh I did go visit the stables a couple of weeks ago Yeah Malcolm encouraged And I did feed Lulu the squatty gray horse a carrot And Malcolm egged And I did accidentally open the gate Malcolm scratched his head So what was it that you didn’t do I didn’t invite Lulu to follow me home Dandy said shifting the weight of his bike to keep it upright A horse followed you home That’s crazy It was more than crazy Dandy said Around dinnertime my mom looked out the window and saw a horse on the back porch chomping on her geraniums She
was going to call Mr Gable to come pick Lulu up but I offered to lead her back home Since I couldn’t use my bike it took me one hour and four carrots to get her back to the stable I don’t think Mr Gable saw us but maybe he did I’m in big trouble If you were in trouble Malcolm said Mr Gable would’ve called you not me Dandy’s bottom slipped off the seat He scootched back on Did he say what he wanted Malcolm shrugged Nope He just said that it was important I’m right behind you Dandy said Malcolm pushed off on his bike turned the corner and made it to the next block before noticing that Dandy was not right
behind him Where was he Malcolm circled back to find Dandy trying to balance the bike and take off You should use the fire hydrant Malcolm suggested Dandy walked the bike to the nearest fire hydrant put his foot on the spout then boosted himself onto his bike It was a wobbly start but he finally got his balance He and Malcolm rode on to the stables The smell of cut grass and green hay met them as they neared the pasture They rode by a long wooden fence until they reached the large double gates The sign just above read Gable Stables and Horse Farm Malcolm hopped off his bike and entered the gate Dandy fell off his bike then crept in behind Malcolm
