“I thought it was because they smell like corpses,” said Oliver.

“Yeah, but why do they smell like that?” asked Teenie darkly.

As they watched, the gardener strode off in the direction of the giant hedge maze that bordered the gardens like a topiary fortress.

“He’s going into the maze—like that monster in the Greek myth.”

The twins had recently read the myth of the Minotaur, the bull-headed monster that haunted the labyrinth in ancient Crete.

“He’s scarier than a Minotaur,” exclaimed Bea. “He’s the Garden-o-taur!”

“Wait, what if somebody else is in there?” said Teenie.

“Like Dad?”

Teenie nodded. If Simon was lost, which seemed more than likely, knowing him, the hedge maze was the logical place to look for him. After all, it was designed to get lost in.

A cloud passed in front of the sun, casting dark shadows over the gardens and causing the kids to shiver.

“Okay, Teenie, you better go in to look for him,” said Bea grimly.

“But I just did a maze this morning!”

“That maze was on paper. It doesn’t count.”

“It’s okay,” said Oliver bravely. “I’ll go.”

“You will?” The twins stared at him in surprise.

“I have to. The Garden-o-taur is chasing Benny!”

Oliver pointed to the small white animal running into the hedge maze with the very large gardener chasing after him.

“I hope he doesn’t feed Benny to the corpse flower!” said Teenie. “We’ll come too!”
