"Well, what else have we got?"

"Okay, lets make him an offer. Either way, we keep a close eye on him from now on."

Al returned his attention to Toby who by now was starting to get bored and was starting to wander off. Not even talking snails can keep the attention of a seven year old boy nowadays.

"Oi! We weren't finished! How'd you like to be a spy?"

Toby perked up at that idea, it sounded exciting. "What's a spy?"

"Well, a spy is a very special person. They listen to and watch other people and then come back and tell us what they did. They try and answer questions."

Toby was a little confused by this, at first it sounded like they wanted him to watch TV, then it sounded like they wanted him to go to school. All of a sudden it didn't seem quite so exciting, but they were magic snails so he guessed they knew more about this stuff.

"Okay. Umm, when I do I come back and tell you stuff? And where do I find you? Will you be here?"

Toby decides to take Al and the Captain with him instead - they can hide in his pocket!

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
