The chase continued for several more minutes. Then the canal split into two smaller streams and Calindo, after a moment of indecision, took the left.

Marco, on the other hand, steered to the right.

“Hey, what are you doing?” yelled Dash.

“Don’t worry,” Marco replied. “Calindo has trapped himself!”

“Of course,” said Agatha. “This canal is a shortcut. We’ll be able to cut him off up ahead!”

Marco stared at her. “How did you know that?” he asked.

“I memorized the canal map,” she replied. “I thought it might come in handy!”

“Your memory drawers are overflowing as ever, Miss Agatha,” said Chandler, smiling.

There were no other boats on the small canal Marco had taken. He slowed his gondola, telling the others that they had arrived at the point where their canal intersected with Calindo Freddi’s.

They jumped onto a narrow path running alongside the waterway and hid behind a corner until Agatha spied Calindo’s boat moving in their direction. They were all flattened against the wall when the sound of lapping water announced the arrival of their prey. Chandler reached out a long arm and grabbed Calindo by the collar of his jacket.
