Guard Dog

by Philip Wooderson, Dave Burroughs (Illustrator)

'I watched Demon slam the phone down and shoulder out of the booth. I wanted to follow him, but as I waited for him to get a few paces ahead the phone started ringing. Demon ignored it and carried on walking. I wavered...then picked up the phone and listened...' The minute his dad books a stall at the local market, Ryan knows that things aren't going to be easy. Getting up at five o'clock in the morning to help his dad set up is bad enough. But the day becomes worse when the car is stolen and Ryan encounters dodgy dealings and a ferocious guard dog.
