He started silently down the tunnel. He knew he’d be in serious trouble, but he had to find Boris.

Jasper knew exactly where the tunnel would take him. It ended not far from the forest, around the back of the school.

There was a little door at the end of the tunnel that led outside.

And then Jasper remembered that the last time he’d used this tunnel, the door had been covered in a plant that looked suspiciously like ivy.

Jasper opened the small door and scraped away the screechwort surrounding the door. He tried to tap into his whispering to find out if the swarm of killer monsters was near by. But he couldn’t hear anything, not even a low buzzing sound. Jasper decided this was a good sign and crawled out of the tunnel. An ice-cold wind whipped around him.

Find Boris and get back. That was as far as Jasper’s plan had got. But now he realised that Boris could be anywhere. On guard duty near the fence, in the school herding students, collecting dog drool. Jasper might never find him.

A cheer rose up from around the other side of the school. Jasper listened, catching sounds of excitement in the wind. Had the swarm of monsters been caught already?

Jasper edged his way around the side of the building. The wind picked up the snow, making it impossible to see. Something crackled unpleasantly in his pocket.

‘Crcckasper! Crccckom in! Crrkover,’ Saffy’s tinny voice echoed from Jasper’s hoodie. The walkie-talkie! Jasper realised. It actually worked. Jasper pulled the squashed tin can from his pocket.

‘Ow!’ he yelped as an electric shock shot up his arm. Saffy obviously hadn’t perfected Functional Fixedness yet. ‘Saffy? Come in. Saffy? Over.’ Jasper held the walkie-talkie gingerly between his fingers.
