squeegee.
    “We have an inside man at the Academy,” Walter whispered.
    “Who is it?” Spencer asked.
    Walter took his squeegee and dragged it across the glassy surface of the wall. The portal opened instantly, shimmering green along the border. The narrow view opened into a dim room, one that Spencer didn’t recognize from the Academy.
    Someone stocky stepped into view, beefy hands gripping the squeegee that had opened the way. His buzzed hair had grown into a short Mohawk, but there was no mistaking that broad face and sneering grin.
    “Hey, Doofus! Long time no see!”
    It was Dez.

Chapter 7
    “I don’t even have a whistle.”
     
    Spencer stepped back, his heart thumping. Had the plan gone wrong already? What was Dez Rylie doing with the squeegee?
    “Hello, Dez,” Walter whispered, handing his squeegee off to Daisy and stepping through the portal.
    The realization dawned on Spencer and he didn’t like it one bit. “Dez?” he muttered. “Dez is our inside man?”
    “Inside man ?” Daisy said. “That’s not even possible. He’s only twelve. He’d have to be the inside boy. ”
    “More like inside traitor !” Spencer said.
    “Oh, please,” Dez moaned. “That was like, so five months ago. I’m good now.” Even his voice made Spencer’s skin crawl.
    Spencer turned to his dad. “I can’t believe we’re trusting him.”

    “We’ve been in touch with Dez for several weeks now.” Alan stepped through the portal. “He’s been quite helpful.”
    “Yeah,” Spencer said sarcastically. “If you need help slamming your head against the wall.”
    Dez scratched his stomach and glanced around the room. “Are you guys coming, or what?”
    Penny stepped out of the Rebel closet and into New Forest Academy. Spencer paused beside Daisy in the doorway.
    Dez beckoned. “We don’t have all night.”
    “How long do we have?” Spencer asked. “How long until you blow the whistle and Garcia comes running in here with a bunch of Pluggers to capture us?”
    “Psh!” Dez rolled his eyes. “I don’t even have a whistle.”
    “Check him for a kazoo,” Daisy whispered in Spencer’s ear.
    “Where are we, anyway?” Spencer pushed his head through the portal and glanced around. Dez had opened the way into a large room with chairs and music stands arranged in tidy rows.
    “It’s the band room,” Dez said. “In the Arts Building.”
    Spencer hadn’t been there before, and the idea of following Dez into a mysterious room didn’t sound like a good one.
    “How did you get in here in the middle of the night?” Spencer continued to interrogate. “How’d you sneak out of the dorms?”
    “Chill,” Dez said. “I didn’t have to sneak out. Ever since Garcia caught me making a spit-wad smiley face on the ceiling, he’s made me do cleaning duty.”
    “You mean detention?”
    “Whatever.” Dez shrugged. “Point is . . . I got these.” He jingled a ring of keys in his hand.
    “They gave you keys to New Forest Academy?” Daisy asked.
    Dez made a face. “No way. I swiped them from Slick’s old office. It’s not like he’s going to need them.” Dez tucked the ring of keys into his jean shorts. “These should help us get to Director Garcia.”
    “Not until after we locate his bronze nail,” Alan said. They would need the warlock hammer to pull out the nail, but it would help to know exactly where it was so they didn’t waste any time after taking Holga from Garcia.
    “Duh,” said Dez. “Why do you think I brought you here?” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flashlight. As soon as the bulb flickered on, Spencer knew it was Glopified. The light was pitifully dull until it shone on a magical item.
    Dez turned around and directed his flashlight at the back wall of the band room. Instantly, the white light shot outward like a beacon, glinting between two timpani drums and honing onto a small spot on the wall.
    “Come on,” Penny said. Dez moved away from the portal, and the
