They sat in a circle. Gordon was still feeling moved. Buffy sniffed her blanket.

“How many beds were here?” asked Gertrude.

“Eight,” said Buffy. “Two young ones in each. Yes, and Mama of course…”

“There’s only one bed still here,” said Sune. “Yours. The one that was broken when the fox struck. Could someone else have come and taken the others later? Who though?”

They all thought.

“Mama and the other youngsters!” Gordon said with a smile.

“Or other mice,” said Buffy, distressed.

Gertrude shook her head. “How many snuggly blankets did you have?”

“All the children had their own…”

“And how many are still here?”

Buffy turned over her blanket and looked at it. “Only mine,” she said. “Do you mean that my brothers and sisters took their own? And only mine was left? And they think I’m the one who was eaten up?”

Sune nodded.

Gordon had cheered up. “Well,” he said, “that all sounds good, but these are only thoughts. We can be a little hopeful, but we must investigate further. What shall we do?”

Buffy folded up her blanket and put it away.

“First we must sniff out the entire area,” she said, “to be certain there are no mice here. Then I’ll explain what we should do next.”

They all climbed up out of the hole and Buffy and Gertrude began to sniff their way around. There was not much mouse smell. But it had rained such a lot in the night, so it didn’t necessarily mean no mice.

“No tracks, no clues,” said Gordon. “But a good thought from the small police, which gives us hope. What shall we do now, Buffy?”

“Put on your nice new police hats,” said Buffy.

Gertrude and Sune’s paper hats had become a little soggy in the rain. But Gertrude had more in her backpack.

Buffy inspected the three police in front of her.

“I don’t think he’ll attack police,” she said. “That’s why it’s important to wear our hats. Now we’ll sniff him out. And interrogate him.”

“Who?” said Gertrude.

“The fox,” said Buffy.
