I magicked myself to Gilbert’s house in Middle Wash.

“Jill?” Marcy looked surprised to see me.

“Shush!” I put my finger to my lips. “Is Gilbert in?”

“He’s in his bedroom,” she said, in little more than a whisper.

“Can we go through to the kitchen?”

“Of course.”

Once we were in there, I closed the door behind us.

“We have to get rid of those tins right now.”

“The salmon?”

“It isn’t actually salmon. It’s—err—well, there isn’t time to get into that now, but it’s essential he doesn’t eat any more of it. Do you have any bags I can put the tins in?”

“Yes, of course, but what will I tell Gilbert when he asks for some?”

“Tell him the truth, that it’s gone.”

“He’ll only go and get some more from those salmon people.”

“Not if I have anything to do with it. If things go according to plan, that cult will be gone very soon.”

“Gone? What do you mean?”

“You’re going to have to trust me on this one. I should warn you, though, Gilbert is going to need a lot of support when he discovers there’s no more of the—err—salmon. He’ll have to go cold turkey for a few days.”

“If it means I’ll get my boy back, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

We emptied the cupboard of the tins, and I struggled out of the house, with three bags full of them. Once I was in the car, I made a call to Daze.

“It’s Jill. I’m sorry to call you at the weekend.”

“That’s okay. Blaze and I are working anyway.”

“I have something for you. Are you familiar with mermaids?”

“Of course, but I haven’t had a lot to do with them.”

“Did you know they once tried to convert human males into mermen?”

“I remember reading about it when I was studying for my exams.”

“It’s happening again. Right now.”

I told her everything I knew, and she agreed to act immediately.

“I’m worried that Gilbert will reach out to them for more of their fishy potion.”

“Don’t worry, Jill. By the time he gets there, that crowd will be behind bars in Candlefield.”

“What do you want me to do with these tins?”

“I’ll send Blaze over to collect them. They’ll be evidence when this comes to court.”
