Grandpa kept the key to the store in the pocket of his jacket, which hung on the back of office door. Getting the key had been the easy part, as the coaches were all still trackside. But persuading Chimp to come with him was proving much, much harder. All his dog wanted to do these days was sit on Charlie’s lap. Or so it seemed.

“Come on, boy,” Fergus called for the third time.

Chimp finally cocked an ear and opened an eye, but thought better of whatever it was and went back to having his tummy tickled as Charlie and Grandpa talked tactics.

“Chimp,” Fergus tried again, more loudly.

But the dog was having none of it.

“Fine,” he said. “Guess I’m on my own then.” And he left him there while he headed to the bike store.

As he unlocked the store door and then his bike, he felt his heart hammering. He wasn’t supposed to ride at all. This was going against Charlie – and Grandpa. And, what if he couldn’t get to Nevermore without Chimp anyway? What if it wasn’t just backpedalling that did it – what if Chimp was the secret ingredient?

But he had no choice, Fergus told himself. The squad needed him, and he’d do anything to help them. So slick as a snake and quiet as a mouse he wheeled his bike out to the car park.

Sitting in the saddle, he tightened his helmet, and took a deep breath. “I can do this,” he said aloud. “I have to do this.”

“Woof!” agreed a voice.
