Barker had remained with the city mouse. He looked troubled and twitched his ears cautiously. The rat was frightened, it was dangerous to stay so near to Holeborn; at any moment the marauders might spill out and pounce on them. With his one tooth he nibbled his lip worriedly and counted the lumps on his head. If only the mousey boy would go away somewhere, he could finish what he had been sent to do. At every strange sound Barker jumped and flung himself to the ground – his nerves were shot to pieces.

Piccadilly reared his head, his face set and grim.

‘I must know what happened to Marty,’ he said, turning to the rat. ‘Was he killed along with everyone else? Did you see him?’

Barker looked away and flicked a stone with his claws, ‘Barker never saw freak mouse,’ he replied eventually.

A faint hope entered Piccadilly’s heart. ‘Then he could still be alive,’ he breathed. ‘He must have got lost around the East Way – that’s why the attack was such a surprise, he never reached Holeborn.’

The rat mumbled to himself, ‘Barker not see freak mouse or any other, he not like to see them cut down, he didn’t wanna watch the peelin’s.’
