Pet Detectives Page 5

What else? Oh – you remember Frankie’s mum saying she couldn’t have a kitten because of something that was going to happen next summer? Some kind of surprise? Did you guess what it was? I didn’t. FRANKIE’S MUM IS HAVING A BABY!!!!!

  Frankie is over the moon – you’d think no one had ever had a baby before. She’s quite nice to Callum when he comes round to see Kenny’s rat – I think she’s practising on him.

  One last thing. Don’t laugh. Promise? Ryan asked me to go with him to collect his kitten.

  I’m sure it’s because I have such good taste.

  Don’t forget, if you need Pet Detectives, you know where to find us.
