Ben was sitting at the table eating a huge pile of fish fingers – his and Rob’s. “He’ll be under your bed or something. I’ll come and help you look.” But Smudge wasn’t in either of their rooms, and he hadn’t climbed into the bath and got stuck. He wasn’t in the airing cupboard on the towels either.

“Could he have got out somehow?” Ben asked when they came back downstairs.

Mum frowned. “I’m sure all the windows were shut. After he nearly got out yesterday I was a bit worried he might try that again.”

Olivia nodded. “I checked all the windows this morning, before we went to school.”

Mum sighed. “Smudge must be hiding somewhere, like he always does. He’ll pop out at us in a minute, I’m sure.”

Olivia turned to Ben, her hands on her hips. “Did you and Rob let him outside?”

Ben stared at her, wide-eyed. “He was just watching TV with us, Olivia. We didn’t even go out, so how’s it our fault suddenly?”

“I bet that’s why Rob wanted to go home.” Olivia sat down on a chair as her knees suddenly felt shaky. “He was scared he was going to get into trouble. You let him out. I can’t believe you’d do that!” she yelled.

“Olivia!” Mum warned. “You’re just jumping to conclusions.”

“We didn’t let him out!” Ben stood up angrily. “How many times do I have to say it?” He stomped out of the kitchen, muttering. “I’m going to look for him upstairs. He must be here somewhere.”

Olivia slumped on her chair, feeling tears welling up in her eyes. However much Ben denied it, she was sure the boys had let Smudge get out – either by accident, or as part of some stupid game. Smudge was so little! He’d only been outside once, and he’d had her and Ben there to make sure he didn’t escape from the garden, or get himself stuck somewhere. Just thinking of all the places where he might hurt himself made her feel sick.
