The boy brought his hand up to his mouth. He felt sick at the thought of all these horrors. Still, his ghoulish curiosity got the better of him, and he wanted to hear more.

“Was that all?” he enquired.

“No.” Raj took a deep breath. “Are you sure you want to know the most gruesomest* one?”

“Yes and no,” replied Alfie. “But mainly yes…”

Raj took a deep breath before telling him.

“An old man’s toenail!”

“Got what?”

“A plan! How we can catch the tooth snatcher!”

“Great, my boy! That’s brilliant. How can I help?”

Alfie looked right into Raj’s eyes for a moment. He knew what he was about to say was not going to go down at all well. “It’s just a very small thing…”
