CHAPTER 12
Ash was being particularly smug.
âEveryone says I find rubbish, but I saved the day not once but twice,â he said. He reminded Clem ever-so-slightly of the snail.
âWell, not really,â said Zara. âBecause even if the snail had heard my scream, what was he going to do? Poke you with one of his antennae until you begged for mercy? Or just bore us to death?â
âNo, thatâs your trick,â said Ash. âYouâre just jealous because you havenât done anything helpful at all unless being boring suddenly counts.â Clem had to swim between them before they had a full-blown underwater fight. Ash sulked behind a statue of a porpoise wearing a crown and Zara examined the window of a shop selling handbags made from small shells.
Clem looked at the tiny map. It was practically impossible to read. She squinted and held it up to the green street lamps.
âOh, do you need a magnifying glass?â asked Zara cheerily. âIâve got two. Do you think you want an aspheric lens or a biconvex one?â She produced two magnifiers from her pocket like it was completely normal. Clem pointed at one randomly.
âExcellent choice,â said Zara happily. Ashâs snort of bubble laughter popped around them and fell like rain.
Clem held the magnifying glass over the map.
âOK, so I think weâre here,â she said, pointing at a little picture labelled Lower Bridge. âAnd we need to get to here,â she added, running her finger along to Guppingham Palace. âSo if we just swim along Finsbury Park to Pikeadilly Circus, we should be able to follow the road to Codvent Garden, past the Cutty Shark and turn left â¦â
Zara checked and nodded. Ash did a somersault, and the three of them started their journey.
