Roo-kai flies back to Gaius's house, and lands in the back garden.
Terence and Baby Pierre are on the back step, looking sad.
Roo-kai, cries Terence. You're back early!
Don't get too excited, says Roo-kai.
You forgot your camera, says Baby Pierre. We were just thinking about how you wouldn't be able to complete your mission.
Guess how we know! says Terence
How do you know? asks Roo-kai.
Did you think we looked sad when you landed? asks Terence.
A bit, says Roo-kai.
Remember the lizard? says Terence.
The one that doesn't know north from south? asks Roo-kai. Yes, I remember the lizard.
It DIED! says Terence. The postman found it.
In the back garden? Roo-kai is surprised.
On the ROAD! says Terence. Flat as a mini-wrap. With legs. And blood coming out at the sides.
The worst ever mini-wrap, says Baby Pierre.
What was it doing on the road? asks Roo-kai.
Being DEAD, says Terence. Gaius said we should bury it.
And did you? asks Roo-kai.
First we had to find something to put it in, says Terence. And Gaius said we could use the ripped packet.
With my instructions, says Roo-kai.
They weren't in it, says Terence. We took them out, remember.
I remember, says Roo-kai.
And so Gaius gave us the packet, says Terence.
And we sneaked out, says Baby Pierre.
Aren't you in quarantine? asks Roo-kai.
Not me, says Baby Pierre.
Only me, says Terence.
That was illegal, says Roo-kai.
No one saw me, says Terence. Anyway, we scraped the lizard into the packet and ran home.
And buried the lizard in the back garden, says Roo-kai. Where exactly?
We didn't do it yet, says Terence. Because guess what happened?
I can't guess, says Roo-kai.
When Gaius tipped out the dead lizard, a tiny CAMERA fell out of the packet! Your spy camera. It's really small. And you didn't take it. That's why we were sad.
I've come back for it, says Roo-kai. Where is it?
Inside, says Terence. This is a happy ending. NOW we can bury the lizard.
