“Of course,” I said. “I know you’ve done this before. If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have let Lenny help. I need to be there though; I need to know he’s safe. I promise I’ll keep out of the way.” As long as Lenny is safe, I silently added.

We met the rest of the team an hour before the operation commenced, crowding into a coffee shop that looked so much smaller with a large boggart perched on a chair in the corner. Harrod and Martin were both already there, tucked into a tiny table and generally looking like they didn’t belong. Despite feeling like a goose, I took Lenny aside and had a chat with him.

“Are you absolutely sure you want this, Len?”

“Wuff.” He wagged his tail.

“I’ll be close by, okay? Anything goes wrong you get the hell out of there, I don’t care who you have to bite to do it.”

“Wuff.” A wet tongue made for my face and I ducked, laughing. Wrapping my arms around his lithe, wiry body, I prayed nothing would go wrong. I stood to go back to the others and nearly fell over when something cannonballed into the back of my legs.

“Apologies, Lady! Barg did not see you, Lady!” He rolled over to Lenny and jumped on his back.

“Barg, what are you doing here?”

“Barg is Lenny-Dog’s protector, Lady! Barg will join the humans in their quest for most glorious victory! Barg understands the chief headquarters will be at this place of warm beverage consumption, Lady! Barg will be most pleased with offerings of chip-chocolates for his involvement in this proceeding.” Barg grinned at me, then added a belated, “Lady!” He saluted from Lenny’s back, then nudged his bony knees into Lenny’s sides. Lenny rolled his eyes back then trotted over to Greyson and his team to be fitted with his collar.

“I take it you weren’t expecting Barg?” Harrod asked, startling me. I hadn’t seen him come over.

“No. How did he even know we were here?”

Harrod grimaced. “I have no idea. Gibble didn’t—” he stopped when I shook my head. “Oh. Well, I just hope he had the sense not to tell anyone else.”

“I might have a chat with him, see if he’ll tell me how he found out we’d be here. Not good if news about a covert op is being passed around the Other.”

Greyson finished with Lenny and ambled over.

“Where are the undercover people?” I asked, cringing at the nervousness in my voice.

“They’re undercover. You won’t see them, but they’re there. I trust my team; they do good work. We won’t let anything happen to him, you hear?”

Nodding, I clasped my hands behind my back to stop from fidgeting.

“Right. Trainor, you’re my right hand. If I go in, you’re running things from here.” Trainor nodded, all trace of her earlier easy demeanour gone. Her shoulders were set and her eyes bright, eager for the responsibility she now had. “Steenson, I want you monitoring the GPS and radio, filtering the information from our plants and keeping me informed.
