Singenpoo's Secret Weapon: Part 2

By PAUL JENNINGS

`Singenpoo is so upset,' Scott said. `If she gets out she could do anything. And Major Mac might get her. When he found out she could read he wanted her back. Now he just wants her ...'

`Dead,' I said.

Scott nodded. `That's where you come in Rhys. I'm going to Melbourne. To see the Premier. I shall ask for a pardon. For all the cats on Death Row.'

`A pardon?'

`Yeah. Why not? With one stroke of his hand the Premier can save all the cats.'

`What do you want me to do?' I said.

`Look after Singenpoo. Stay here and don't let her out. She wants to go to the pound to save all the cats. If anything happened to her I'd die.'

Just then Singenpoo began to scratch the window. She was really upset.
