Baby Pierre rides away from Gaius's house in a northerly direction.
The tiny camera is safe in his back pack.
How he loves the open road!
He weaves in and out of the traffic.
He disobeys traffic lights.
He is being quite reckless.
Roo-kai, flying above him, wonders if he should intervene.
By landing in front of Baby Pierre and saying. Slow down! You must get there in one piece and so must my camera.
But it is a race, and Baby Pierre is a pebble.
So Roo-kai flies on.
This time he has a better idea of where he is going.
No need to turn right at the marina, he will fly to Osborne directly, thereby cutting a corner.
Ha-HAH!
Baby Pierre speeds under heavy vehicles, and through restricted speed zones.
He cuts through a grave yard.
Boo!
Bad idea. But no time is lost, he speeds even faster.
Now he is in Port Adelaide. Zoom!
It looks as it always looks. Bridges!
He zooms over a bridge. Whee!
He looks up, in case Roo-kai is above him.
Caramba! He is! He must have taken a short cut!
You can never trust birds.
Victoria Road, turn right at Veitch Road.
They arrive at the Techport Facility at the same moment.
Well done, says Roo-kai.
You too, says Baby Pierre.
You took many risks, says Roo-kai. I like that.
Now what? asks Baby Pierre.
Yes, how do we do this? says Roo-kai. I have questions to answer, as well as take photos.
You fly over the gate, says Baby Pierre. I'll squeeze through this opening.
With your bike? asks Roo-kai.
It folds up, says Baby Pierre.
Now they are inside the grounds of the facility.
A security guard drives up to the gate in a vehicle.
Just a bird, says the security guard into his walkie talkie. And something else. Guess I'd better check it.
He gets out of his vehicle.
Sees the folded tiny bicycle with green wheels, lying next to a pebble.
Will he pick up the bicycle?
Will he pick up the pebble, aka Baby Pierre?
Yes! he picks them both up, and slides them into his pocket.
Sweet! The kids'll love these!
