But Where Is Ageless?

It's still Saturday. We haven't missed anything.

Gaius and Dr Yates are driving along the Plenty Highway in Dr Yates's Jeep. They are nearing the spot where Ouvert, Baby Pierre, Lavender, the Sapphires, the bicycle, the book and the snacks are waiting at the side of the road.

Fortunately for Baby Pierre, Ouvert and Lavender, the Sapphires are highly visible, or they might have been missed..

Just look at those girls! says Gaius. Do they remind you of something? They do me. What is it now.... oh yes I've seen them on a poster at a bus stop. They're the Sapphires!

I assure you they aren't the Sapphires, says Dr Yates. They're from Engawala Community. I wonder if they need a lift?

The Jeep stops.

Gaius notices the bicycle.

That's my bicycle! he says. Where's Arthur?

Do you girls need a lift into Gemtree? asks Dr Yates.

Yes, our bike's cactus, says Emerald.

Cactus! says Gaius. I hope not! And it's MY bike!

It's Arthur's, says Ruby. He's gone on ahead.

Pile in then, says Dr Yates.

Gaius gets out, picks up the bicycle and chucks it in the back of the Jeep.

I trust that Ageless is somewhere about? he says.

No, he isn't, says Lavender. He's disappeared too.

Then we must find him, says Gaius. Let's go.

They drive on towards Gemtree, in the Jeep.

........

They are about to pass the gate of the Gemtree Caravan Park.

They slow down, as another Jeep turns in, in front of them.

At the same moment Arthur is walking up the drive of the Caravan Park towards the gate.......
