Kash and Sevan arrived at their final mission of the day to help tidy Mr P's garden. Mr P was no longer able to do this himself, so GoodGym were more than happy to help him out.

Mr P lead them through a dark passageway into his garden which was filled with:

  • A huge rose bush, arching over the patio
  • A small bamboo forest
  • Lots of skeleton parts

There was something other-worldly about where Kash and Sevan found themselves, even though it wasn't dark yet.

Mr P wanted to see his patio again and asked Kash and Sevan to remove the layer of black, soot-like dirt from the patio slabs and put many previously cut leaves and branches on the compost pile.

The duo started their work by using a handy scythe to collect the branches into a pile before bagging them. Mr P told them that foxes and their cubs had been living in his garden, so any funny smells would be down to them. Kash and Sevan couldn't smell anything bad though. In fact, there was no smell at all in the garden.

Unphased, Sevan moved onto brushing the dirt from the paving stones while Kash gathered leaves. Mr P's jet black cat came to greet them, curious at what was going on in the garden. Rather than a meow, it made Kash and Sevan jump out of their skins when it momentarily sprouted 2 extra heads and growled a growl that would be heard half way across London. Again, there was that feeling that something wasn't as it should be.

Before the GoodGym team finished up for the day, they gathered bamboo stalks and leaves from the back of the garden. They were added to the compost pile too in double quick time.

Kash and Sevan showed the transformation to Mr P, then packed their gloves ready to return to West London. Mr P came to the door and waved them off, saying "I'LL SEE YOU SOON". Kash and Sevan found this odd as they hadn't signed up for any more missions yet. Mr P must have been mistaken or was just being friendly.
