Changing

Time for landing

The six hours has passed.

Saint Roley knows almost as much as Gaius about the Far Eastern Curlew.

Terence does not.

The plane lands in Sydney.

Everyone gets off.

What time is our flight to Brisbane? asks Gaius.

It's been cancelled, says Arthur.

Has it? says Belle.

Curses, says Gaius. When's the next one?

Arthur goes to find out. There's one seat available on the next one. Gaius can have it, if he likes.

He will have it. He goes to the counter.

He returns to the baggage carousel.

Seizes his bicycle flat pack.

Right. Saint Roley! You're coming with me.

Wah! says Terence.

His knowledge is essential, says Gaius. Yours isn't. Anyway we will soon be reunited. You, Arthur and Sweezus will no doubt be on the next flight available, whenever it is.

Sure, says Arthur. Whenever it is. But you've only got thirty minutes.

Gaius heads off to the shuttle bus, between Terminal One International and Terminal 2/3.

Six dollars for the shuttle bus! Outrageous!

I could fly, says Saint Roley.

What good would that do, grumbles Gaius.

Belle retrieves her luggage, and phones Unni.

Unni! It's me. I've just arrived in Sydney from Paris. Yes, with Sweezie. Yeah, he's good. Ha ha. Yes and Arthur, but they're heading off ....oh wait, Arthur says they're not going... not yet.....okay that would be lovely. We'll just sit tight here then. At Coast Café. See you in an hour.

She's coming to the airport to meet us, says Belle.

Thought she would, says Arthur.

Unni is excited. She catches the train to Sydney Central. Then takes the Airport line.

Gets off at International, and heads to Coast Café.

Guys! says Unni.

Unni? says Belle.

She's changed since they last saw her.

Living in Sydney, you do.
