“Mum, where’s Charlie?”

Her mum looked up from cutting the football cake and glanced round the kitchen. “I expect he’s in the garden. I should put his food down actually. I forgot we haven’t fed him yet.”

“So … he hasn’t had any tea?” Darcy said, frowning. No tea and he wasn’t coming for his favourite cat treats? That was definitely strange, and worrying…

Darcy looked all round the house for Charlie – she wondered if Mum had accidentally shut him in one of the bedrooms. But she couldn’t see him anywhere. She stood in the garden and called for him, but no kitten appeared.

Mum went to look up and down the street at the front of the house. Charlie had wandered down the side path of the house before, and Darcy had found him sunbathing on the front wall. Will searched upstairs again, even going through all his toy baskets.

“I wonder where he can have got to,” Mum said as she came back in. “He’s usually good at turning up for meals, although…”

“What?” Darcy asked anxiously. “Although what, Mum?”

“Have you noticed that Charlie hasn’t been around as much over the last week? And he hasn’t been climbing on me while I’m working.”

Darcy shook her head. “No. He’s always here when we get home from school.” Then she was silent for a minute. Was he? Would she definitely have noticed? She’d been so busy with after-school football training and all the extra practice she was doing. “Mum, do you think something’s happened to him?”

“I’m sure he’s fine,” her mum said encouragingly, but there was still no Charlie.

Darcy was just starting to get really panicky when the kitten appeared, popping in through the cat flap and strolling calmly across the kitchen. He looked quite surprised when Darcy swooped down and picked him up for a hug.

“We didn’t know where you were!” she murmured, rubbing his ears.
