In Hoot, when Roy went to bed, what did he discover?

I believe that this question is asking about an event that occurs near the very end of chapter sixteen. Roy has spent most of the day hanging out with his family and having fun. They went on an airboat ride earlier in the day, and Roy is tired from it and all of the information that he has been learning about the construction and Dana. Roy goes to bed, and he immediately begins drifting off to sleep only to be brought back to full consciousness when he hears his name being called from beneath the bed. It turns out that it is Beatrice Leep. She has been hiding out under his bed for quite some time waiting for him to get home. Her own home family situation is not good at this particular moment, and she tells Roy that she didn't know where else to go. Roy suggests that she stay the night at his place, and Beatrice is super thankful.
