Buttons got especially lonely at this time of year. It was
sprog season which meant that everybody but him had been getting busy, and the
results were beginning to show. It was probably because he spent too much time
on the job or helping to take care of his Detective Inspector. Still, he had a
job to do. The mother, satisfied that he had finished questioning her, had begun
to gather grass and twigs to repair her nest. Meanwhile, her cygnets had dispersed
back into the water. This was a perfect opportunity to question Jimmy the
inquisitive one.
‘Hello Jimmy, I’m with the police and we need your help. Did
you see or hear anything over the hedge last night?’
‘There was a robin, a bad one. It came over here asking for
food but Mum shooed it away. He wouldn’t leave until she chased her. Then it
went over the hedge.
‘I see. And did you hear any cat noises?’
