“Why don’t we just get the police?” said Chloe.

“They won’t believe us,” said Josh. “Even Grandma wouldn’t believe us.”

“And because of the sheep,” said Ava. “They’re all running around after the stupid sheep.”

“We can’t really go down there with Grandpa Edward and just ask for the diamonds back, can we?” said Chloe.

“We’re going to have to do something soon, though,” said Aiden, staring at the cottage on the clifftop. “They could drive off at any time.”

“Why don’t we set up a diversion?” asked Josh. “I know – we could set fire to their car. That would get them out of the house really fast! Then we could steal back the diamonds. Done!” Josh mimed grabbing something from mid-air.

The other three just stared at him. Josh thought it was quite a good idea, but it was obvious that, as ever, Ava didn’t.

“If eleven o’clock tomorrow is the end of the deal,” continued Aiden, ignoring Josh, “then they’ll definitely leave after that.”

“So we capture them!” said Josh. “Yes!” He leaped out of the tree house and across the garden and fenced an apple tree with a bamboo cane. “Yes – we can spring a trap and drop a huge net on them from above. We could dig an enormous—”

“Oh my god, Josh. Get real. We need to get the diamonds back before eleven o’clock tomorrow,” said Ava, cutting right through Josh’s brilliant ideas and discarding them. “Where is the eleven o’clock thing, Chloe?”

Chloe scrumpled up her face with the effort of replaying the woman’s words. She couldn’t remember what she’d heard. “I just can’t get it,” she said in the end, looking disappointed.

Josh sighed, groaned and died dramatically on the wet grass, where Bella discovered him and began to lick his face with enthusiasm.

“Even if we can’t catch them handing things over, we might be able to get the necklace back,” said Aiden.

“Really?” said Chloe.

“What d’you think, Ava?” asked Aiden.

Ava raised an eyebrow and gazed down towards the clifftop cottages. “P’raps we could.”

“How are you going to do that then?” asked Josh, clambering up the apple tree and hanging from the top branch. “You’re never going to break into a house, are you? Are you?”

Ava glared at him and swept off towards the farmhouse.
