The Secret Seven convene for yet another meeting…
Part Two: Password please!
Jack and Colin entered the shed and took a box each while Peter addressed the meeting.
`Since we’re all here we’ll start by talking about some issues that I have to raise. When we’ve finished talking we can eat.’
Everyone looked approvingly at the table which stood at the back of the room next to Scamper and George where Pam’s sweets had been added to the rest of the food provided by Peter and Janet’s mother.
`Apples. Buns. Potted meat sandwiches. Ginger biscuits and cocoa for everyone. A jolly good feast.’ said George.
`George, I thought I told you last meeting not to do that,’ snapped Peter, `We can all see the food without you providing a commentary.’
`Sorry.’ said George humbly.
`I have two matters to raise at today’s meeting.’ said Peter, `First, I am interested in developing a strategy for establishing the Secret Seven as the Kingdom’s premier child detective unit.’
`We already are the best.’ said Jack `Everyone loves the Secret Seven. Our friend the Chief Inspector said so.’
`The Chief Inspector was telling fibs.’ said Peter, `I read this morning that the Famous Five have just captured a serial rapist and uncovered a heroin smuggling ring in Northern Ireland. They’ve been going after the big fish while the Secret Seven fusses over idiotic small fry like the mystery of the disappearing grapes at the grocery store or that stupid schoolgirl who went missing last year.’
