Door that we might not be able to close. ‘You too, Percy.’ He stood to go. ‘One more thing,’ he said. ‘If this somebody, whoever threw us together … if he’s an enemy to both of us – what if we need each other to fight him? How do I contact you?’ I considered that. Then I made a snap decision. ‘Can I write something on your hand?’ He frowned. ‘Like your phone number?’ ‘Uh … well, not exactly.’ I took out my stylus and a vial of magic ink. Percy held out his palm. I drew a hieroglyph there –.
Do this, I told myself. After all the dangerous adventures I’d had, I couldn’t die like this. Sadie would be devastated. Then, once she got over her grief, she’d track down my soul in the Egyptian afterlife and tease me mercilessly for how stupid I’d been. My lungs burned. I was blacking out.

The petsuchos lumbered towards me, his jaws opening to snap me up. And I got angry. I’d faced the worst Egyptian gods. I’d plunged into the Duat and trekked across the Land.
Trying to make it into a figurine, when the crocodile decided to stop savouring the moment and just eat me. As he lunged, I threw my shabti, only half formed, and barked a command word. Instantly the world’s most deformed hippopotamus sprang to life in midair. It sailed headfirst into the crocodile’s left nostril and lodged there, kicking its stubby back legs.
