The Spying Went Smoothly

Baby Pierre moves to a position from which to take the photo.

He is now facing outward, and can see if anyone comes in.

Ready? asks Baby Pierre.

Roo-kai is facing inward towards the office.

He can see if anyone comes out.

No one will come out though.

There is only one door.

Tclik! Tclik!

Got it? asks Rookai.

Got it, says Baby Pierre

We should go now before anything else happens, says Roo-kai.

Nothing has happened, says Baby Pierre. Our spying went smoothly.

You got captured and escaped, says Roo-kai. Have you forgotten?

They tiptoe towards the construction shed exit.

Two men in overalls are just coming in.

Yeah, says one. I'm all for it.

What about personal freedom? asks the other.

Roo-kai and Baby Pierre look at one another. 

And duck out of the shed.

Where's your bike? asks Roo-kai. 

Here, says Baby Pierre.

He retrieves it. 

Are we keeping that paper?

Roo-kai had not intended to keep the paper, with the French instructions for drilling a hole in which to insert a periscope. But he can't go back now.

Yes, says Roo-kai. At least we have a photo to verify where it was found.

And now they can't destroy it, says Baby Pierre. Here, I'll fold it up small and put it in my back pack.

He takes the paper, and folds it up small.

To the fence! says Roo-kai.

They head to the fence. Roo-kai flies over it. 

Baby Pierre squeezes his bike through the gap he came in by.

Meet you at Gaius's, says Roo-kai. 

For a de-briefing, says Baby Pierre.

Yes, says Roo-kai. We should have a de-briefing. We made several errors.

Roo-kai flutters up and flies back towards Adelaide.

Baby Pierre checks that the camera and folded up French instructions are in his back pack.

Then he cycles away.

An alarm is going off, somewhere behind him.

A security guard, in his vehicle, approaches the gate. 

But there's nothing to see there.
