Mick was admiring the new bathroom in the house. It wasn’t very big, but it had been getting annoying having so many people with so few toilets.

A thought occured to him then. The new furniture could be an attractive target for burglars. The Small family was well protected by Guardian, but what if he was recharging while the family was in danger?

Mick spent the rest of the day working on a backup plan in his shed.

This is the SentryBot.

Unfortunately, it started raining as soon as it was switched on.

Water and electronics do not mix.

See that red light? That means the SentryBot has spotted burglars.

Guardian saved the day again. He recovered in time to switch off the SentryBot before it could shock the children.

The Bot was quickly dismantled.

Unaware of the danger the rest of the family had faced, Sue had snuck out of the house and was petting the old dog she had made friends with.

She named him Max, and loved him very much.
