‘I don’t think it’s an offering, I think it’s a clue,’ said Atticus.

It was Saturday. He and Mimi were sharing an ice cream by the beach huts while they discussed the postcards. Callie and Michael had gone for a swim with Mrs Cheddar. Inspector Cheddar was at the police station processing parking tickets. Luckily it was Atticus’s day off. He had other things he wanted to do.

‘What kind of a clue?’ said Mimi.

‘Well, the magpies aren’t here, are they?’ Atticus said meaningfully. He had checked the nest under the pier every day since their disappearance and there was still no sign of them.

‘You think they’re in Nicaragua?’ Mimi said in surprise.

‘Why not?’ Atticus argued. ‘They tried to steal Howard Toffly’s journal. They want that lost treasure as much as anyone.’

‘But how did they get to Nicaragua?’ Mimi said.

‘They must have gone with the Tofflys.’ Atticus had been thinking about it a lot. If he couldn’t actually be on the expedition, he was jolly well going to work out what was happening in his absence. He was still the world’s greatest cat detective, even if he was stuck in Littleton-on-Sea. ‘Don’t forget the Tofflys have disappeared too,’ he said.

‘Good point,’ said Mimi. She took a lick of ice cream.

‘No one knows where they’ve gone,’ Atticus continued. ‘The caravan’s closed up. They haven’t been seen since the night of the raid on Nellie’s shed.’

‘Has Inspector Cheddar checked the airports?’ Mimi asked, cleaning her whiskers with her paw.
