Lucy tried to get Butterbutt to watch the videos, but as usual, he was much more interested in watching Fang in his enclosure. He kept batting at the side of the glass.

‘Lucy,’ I said, ‘keep an eye on Butterbutt.’

‘Maybe we should bring Fang to school to catch Tulip,’ suggested Zoe.

The idea of both a spider and a snake on the loose at school did NOT seem like a good plan.

‘Remember the time Fang went missing in the house and we couldn’t find him?’ I said. ‘There is no way we’d be able to find him if he got lost at school. At least we know we won’t lose Butterbutt.’

‘You’d better not lose Butterbutt,’ said Lucy.

‘We won’t,’ I said. ‘That’s all part of my master plan.’

‘What is this master plan?’ said Zoe. ‘You still haven’t told us.’

‘We need a few things first,’ I said. ‘A small bell, some string and lots of tinfoil.’

‘Tinfoil?’ said Bernard. And then his face lit up. ‘Of course! To make a protective suit!’

‘Exactly!’ I said with a grin. ‘And the bell will be so we don’t lose Butterbutt. The string is to tie the bell on him.’

I lowered my voice to a whisper. ‘We’ll have to do this all at school though, and the hardest part is going to be sneaking Butterbutt in.’ I looked at Lucy. ‘Lucy, I was hoping you could help with that.’ Lucy had experience of sneaking Butterbutt into places that he wasn’t supposed to go. My bedroom, the beach, the grocery store, the library, her karate class – and lots of places I probably didn’t even know about.

She nodded, beaming. ‘I told you I could help out with the mission!’ she said.

‘Great,’ I said. ‘Then it’s a plan. Tomorrow morning, we’ll all meet at our spot by the fence.’

‘I don’t know where that is,’ said Lucy.

‘That’s okay,’ I said, ‘we can meet outside the kindergarten class instead. And then we’ll wrap Butterbutt in tinfoil, tie the bell on him and let him find Tulip! It’s a foolproof plan.’

Bernard frowned. ‘I don’t know, Sam,’ he said. ‘Won’t there be teachers and students everywhere?’

‘Good point,’ I said. ‘Maybe we all get to school early and sneak in before class starts.’

‘Now it’s a foolproof plan,’ said Bernard.

‘There are about a MILLION things that could go wrong!’ exclaimed Zoe. ‘We’re leaving everything down to Butterbutt?’

‘Do you have any other ideas?’ I asked.

Zoe frowned. ‘No, but I don’t love this one.’

‘Well, as Spaceman Jack says, “Sometimes it’s better to go with the bad idea you’ve got, than the good idea you haven’t thought of.”’

‘That’s a terrible saying,’ said Zoe.

‘And that’s what Captain Jane says whenever he says it,’ I said. ‘But in this case, I think we’ve got to agree with him.’ I put my hand out in front of me. ‘This will only work if we’re all in it together. Are you with me?’

Bernard stuck his hand in.

Then Lucy grabbed Butterbutt and made him stick his paw in, which he did with a yowl.
