Just a couple of letters for you today, Pat. One for the cafe

-and the other for the reverend.

-They shouldn't take us long, Mrs Goggins!

JESS PURRS

Come on, Jess.

MIAOW...PURRRR...

SQUEAK!

-Off we go, Jess. See you later, Mrs Goggins.

-Bye, Pat.

-Hello, love! ..Hello, Neesha. Here's your post.

-Oh, good morning, Pat.

Ooh, are those cheese and watercress sandwiches? My favourite!

-Ow!

-They're not for now, they're for lunch time.

Thank you, Pat.

I don't have enough cupboards in this kitchen to put all these plates away!

Hmm.

We'd better deliver this letter to the reverend. We shouldn't be long.

-Bye, then, love.

-Cheerio.

SQUEAKS RISING UP SCALE

Sounds like the reverend's having a practice, Jess.

Morning, Reverend!

Oh, good morning, Pat! I was just having a bit of a spring-clean.

So I see.

I came across my old violin. It's been a while since I played it,

I can tell you - but it's still in tune!

MIAOW!

RUSTY SQUEAKS MIAOWWW! >

-Would you like a hand with this lot, Reverend?

-Bless you, Pat!

-There. That's the to-go pile...

-MIAOW!

..and that's the to-keep pile.

-And these spare chairs can go into the vestry.

-Good idea.

I wonder if...

There's plenty of storage space in there.

-Would you like it, Pat?

-Well, Neesha might.

She's got nowhere to store the plates in the cafe.

I'd be delighted to give it a new home.

If we move it outside the vestry door, I can take it over later.

Right you are, Pat.

MIAOW!

-DOOR OPENS

-Morning, Pat!

Morning, Dr Gilbertson. We're having a bit of a spring-clean.

It looks very impressive.

I was just on my way to a doctors' meeting in Pencaster,

-so I thought I'd drop this off for you, Reverend.

-Oh, how very kind!

-You're welcome. Good luck with the spring cleaning.

-Thank you, Doctor.

Bye!

If we put it here, then we can put the other one round there.

MIAOW!

Oh, no - the door!

-It's locked!

-Oh, dear!

-Lucky I always keep the keys handy.

-Thank goodness for that.

We'll be out of here in a jiffy.

Now, let me see...

Oh, dear, they're not here.

They're on the cupboard! You put them there when we moved it outside.

So I did.

-MIAOW!

-Good idea. We'll call for help.

-HELLO-O!

-HELP, HELP!

-HELLO?

-CAN ANYONE HEAR US? HELP!

-ANYONE THERE?

< HELP, HELP! MIAOW!

-HELLO? HELLO!

-HELP!

THUMPS

-MUFFLED:

-Hello?

-Can anyone hear us?

It's no good. There's no-one there.

I know, Pat! My musical instruments. If we play them

-really loudly, someone might hear us.

-Well, it's worth a try

BONG-A-BONG-A-BONGA!

HE PANTS: Maybe a guitar would be a little easier.

TUNEFUL STRUMMING

COO! COO!

-COO! COO! >

-Listen! I think it's Cedric.

It might be. Cedric does love music.

That's it. We can play the music to get Cedric to the window.

Then he can take a message to Alf and we're rescued!

-Quick, Reverend, keep playing.

-What? Oh, right.

JOLLY TUNE

COO!

Well done, Reverend, it worked!

Cedric, are we pleased to see you!

COO?

Go home, Cedric! Go home to Alf!

COO-COO-COO!

All we can do now is wait.

CEDRIC COOS

'Ey up, Cedric. What's that you've got?

Oh, no! Pat and the reverend are stuck.

We'd better get help quick, Cedric.

..Aye, I'm setting off now, Ajay.

-Get everyone together and I'll meet you at the church.

-OK, Alf, will do.

Pat and the reverend are stuck in the church. They need help.

I'm on me way!

Oh, dear!

Now, don't worry, Sarah, we'll get them out.

Come on, Ajay.

Miaow...?

I hope Alf gets here soon. I'm starving.

I know! I've got some fresh biscuits that Mrs Goggins baked.

Oh, that sounds perfect!

PURRR!

Oh, no! The biscuits are in the church -

-on the other side of the door.

-Oh, no.

-Reverend?

-Reverend?

-Pat?

Are you there?

They're not here.

The message definitely said they were stuck in the church.

-Hello?

->

-We're in here!

-Quick, over here.

-Pat, is that you?

-We're locked in the vestry.

It sounds like Ted.

-The keys are on the cupboard, Ted, just outside.

-Right-oh, Pat.

We can't see 'em, Pat.

That's odd. I remember seeing them

when we were talking to Dr Gilbertson.

Dr Gilbertson wouldn't take the keys on purpose.

She could've taken them by accident.

I've just seen Dr Gilbertson going to Pencaster.

Right. Let's make a search party to find Dr Gilbertson.

There's three possible routes to Pencaster, so we should split up

-and look for her.

-Right.

-Right.

We won't be long, Reverend, Pat.

-Oh, dear.

-JESS SIGHS

SIREN WAILS

I hope they get back soon.

MIAOW...MIAOW!

What's up, Jess? Is there something under there?

MIAOW

Look - a trapdoor!

Well! I never knew that was there!

Maybe we can escape after all.

Come on, Reverend.

Ooh, it looks a bit dark.

I think I saw a torch earlier.

Ah, here it is.

And it works.

Now, how can we keep the trapdoor open in case we need to get back?

How about the drum? That should hold it.

Excellent! Come on, Reverend, let's see what's down there.

MIAOW!

SIREN WAILS

BONK!

Oh, heavens, what's that noise?

BONG-A-BONG-BONGA...

RRRRUMBLE!

Run!

INDIANA JONES MUSIC

MIAOW!

Quick, in here!

FRIGHTENED MIAOWS

Whew! That was close.

It most certainly was.

MIAOW

MIAOW?

-Look, a staircase.

-And that looks like daylight at the top.

-My word, what an adventure!

-You look a bit shaken, reverend.

Why don't we go to the cafe for a bite to eat and a cup of tea?

-Oh, what a good idea!

-We can drop off the cupboard at the same time.

Splendid!

What on earth is wrong, Arthur?

It's the keys to the church vestry, Doctor.

Pat and the reverend are stuck in there, and we can't get them out.

-It would appear you might have the keys.

-Me? No... Have I...?

Oh! Well, I never!

-Here they are.

-Thank you, Doctor. See you later!

OK, men...

this way.

We'll soon have you out of there, Pat...

-They've gone!

-Just disappeared!

-But how did they get out?

-It's very mysterious, if you ask me.

The cupboard - it's gone.

So it has.

Hmm, I wonder...

Tell you what, Arthur. Why don't we go to the cafe, have a cup of tea,

-and decide what to do next?

-Good idea.

Agreed. Let's go.

-Here you are, pat, your cheese and watercress sandwich.

-Thanks, love!

I've been looking forward to this all day.

Pat!

-You're here!

-Well, I never! How'd you get out?

And how did the cupboard get here?

-I don't understand this.

-Jess found a trapdoor to a secret passage.

What a clever cat!

Where is he?

I THOUGHT I heard purring in the cupboard!

PURRRRRRR!

PURRR-RRR-RRR!

Out you come, Jess.

I think we've had enough of getting stuck for one day.
