The Sewers Crisis. Jonny Moon

squirrel that had led them to Bob on a previous occasion. The squirrel, seeing Snivel bearing down on him, had immediately jumped up and started running.

      On the café terrace Zana looked over the top of the newspaper she was hiding behind and watched with amazement as one of her targets ran straight past her, chasing a dog, which was chasing a squirrel. The trio disappeared around the side of the cafe and then – a few moments later – emerged on the other side. Zana got to her feet and slipped some dark glasses on. Completing her effort at disguise with a large floppy-brimmed sun hat, she set off to follow the chase.

      The squirrel was heading back across the grass towards the spot where the park keeper was still performing his one-man ballet. It glanced back and saw that Snivel was just behind. Not looking where it was going, the squirrel barrelled directly into the park keeper, sending him toppling to the ground. Without missing a beat, the squirrel jumped up and ran on. Snivel launched into the air like a horse jumping a fence at the Grand National and cleared the park keeper who was sprawled face first in the grass. Jack tried to do the same but mistimed his jump and ended up executing more of a hop, skip and a jump using the park keeper’s bum as a springboard along the way. Spitting out a mouthful of grass the park keeper got to his feet just as Zana reached him.
