Are you getting dizzy yet? Confused? Hang on to your hat one last time.

Meanwhile! At the same time! Back in the cicrus!

Fizz and Alice had come up with a plan to find out what Mr Pinkbottle was holding over the Ringmaster’s head, blackmailwise. (Naturally I’m not going to tell you, right now. Patience, after all, is my middle name. (Actually it’s Francis, but that’s not important right now.))

‘I’ve got to go,’ Fizz said, looking at his watch and seeing the time.

‘You can’t stay for the show?’ Alice said.

Wild horses couldn’t have dragged Fizz to see a show at Neil Coward’s Famous Cicrus, even if it did have Alice in it, but he didn’t say that. Instead he said something else, which was also the truth.

‘If I don’t get back quick Kevin’s gonna be in trouble.’

‘Kevin?’

‘He’s a friend of mine. He –’

‘What act’s he do?’

‘Kevin? He doesn’t do an act. He’s … he’s normal.’

‘Oh,’ said Alice.

‘But he’s wearing a gorilla suit cleaning things up off the floor for charity.’

‘Oh,’ said Alice. ‘Why’s he doing that?’

‘He’s a friend.’

Fizz looked at his watch. It had just gone six and he knew the doors to the supermarket would be shut by now. He was already too late to get back in time. He just had to hope that Kevin wouldn’t have had to take the mask off yet. Maybe Pinkbottle was busy elsewhere, or maybe Kevin would think of something.

‘He came in the shop after school and I managed to convince Mr Pinkbottle to let me have a toilet break and while no one was looking we swapped places. And I escaped. Only now I’m afraid he’s going to get caught. Again.’

‘Well, you’d best run,’ Alice said.

And Fizz did run, back through the park and past the library, in the hope that his friend wasn’t in the trouble you and I know he’s probably already in.
