'Let's go back to the hotel,' Long said. 'It's very late and our beds are waiting for us!'
We started to walk down the hill. Suddenly, Long said, 'Remember your coat, Paxton! It's up on the hill.'

coat was there on the ground. But our new friend didn't move.
'What's wrong, Paxton?' I asked.
His face was white. His mouth moved, but he didn't talk.
'Are you OK?' Long asked.
'I ... I didn't bring my coat,' Paxton said. 'It's in my hotel room.' The dark thing on the hill wasn't his coat! But what was it?
I looked again. It wasn't there now!
