Josh and Danny hit the emergency exit button and got off the bus at the back, without getting noticed. Happily, it didn’t set off any kind of alarm. A minute later they found Petty Potts stomping up to the parking lot, muttering to herself.

“It’s OK—we’re safe,” called Josh.

“You’ll never guess what!” called Danny, as they reached Petty on the path to the parking lot. “We were rescued by—”

“Charlie Wexford!” Petty said. She seemed to be turning out her pockets. “Yes, I know. I just met her on the river path. And I do believe the little lightfingers pickpocketed my S.W.I.T.C.H. spray!”

“What—Charlie? Steal? She wouldn’t do that!” Josh said.

“Don’t be so sure,” sniffed Petty. “She’s a very determined young lady, and she wanted some S.W.I.T.C.H.”

“Even so,” Danny said. “Charlie’s all right!”

“I didn’t say she wasn’t all right,” Petty said. “I’ve been known to steal things myself when it was desperately important. But not just for fun! Come on—we have to find her and get that spray back. There’s been far too much upset today. Why on earth did you think it would be a good idea for us to try out a S.W.I.T.C.H. at the zoo?”

“We didn’t!” Josh said, stonily. “You did!”

“I did not!” Petty turned and stomped back into the park again, and they hurried along with her.

“You did!” Danny said. “You said you wanted to see how S.W.I.T.C.H.ing near real snakes affected us.”

“Yes, of course I did!” Petty said. “So why did you say I didn’t?”

“Petty, you could have some amazing arguments just on your own,” sighed Josh.

They saw Charlie, at a distance, down by the river with the other St. Gwendoline’s students following the river wildlife walk. “We’ll run ahead,” Danny said. “Make sure she doesn’t get away!” He and Josh took off, leaving Petty grumbling as she marched on after them, looking out for trippy tree roots.

“Get that S.W.I.T.C.H. spray back!” she called after them. “Charlie has no idea how dangerous it can be! If she uses it, there will be trouble. Desperate trouble …”
