At that very moment, I hear the door handle turning behind me. Without looking back to see who it is, I lift myself up onto the windowsill. The edges of the glass are still extremely hot – I have to be careful not to touch them. As delicately as I can, I squeeze myself through and grab onto the gutter outside. I pull myself upward, throw a leg into the gutter, and collapse onto the metal roof, puffing and panting.

Lying there, catching my breath, I hear voices wafting out through the window.

“Look at the scanner – Gemma Hirabashi!”

“And that’s Sandy the space dog.”

“I knew that boy was up to no good!”

“He’s going to find the Cosmic Collar before we do! He must be stopped!”

I have no idea what they’re talking about, but it sounds like it’s time to make myself absent!

As I stand up and dust myself off, I hear the sound of a loud propeller above me. I look up and see a Bluggsville City van-copter flying westward. Through the back window I can see Oscar, still in his Labrador fur, waving at me. I wave back and give him a thumbs-up. Fortunately, I’m pretty sure I know where they’re taking him!

I run across the roof, looking for any kind of pipe I can slide down to get back to ground level. Of course, there’s nothing – but I can see a tree in a nearby backyard, two or three yards from the edge of the building. It’s my only chance of getting down from here.

I need to act quickly. It won’t take that van-copter long to get to the zoo, and then Oscar will be in all sorts of trouble. I walk back to the far edge of the building, turn to face the tree, and start running. The closer I get to the edge of the building, the less I want to do this … but as I reach the gutter I leap into the air and stretch my arms out. The next thing I know, I’m crashing into the tree and clutching onto a thick, leafy branch.
