Stuff All Encrypted

Roo-kai slips out of the office and hops down the stairs.

He looks up and down the street, hoping to see Sweezus.

There he is, with the Express Post bag.

Roo-kai follows him, at a safe distance.

Sweezus stops at a post box. 

Drops the Express Post bag in.

And continues to Sushi Hub on the Rundle Mall corner.

Roo-kai catches up.

Hey! says Sweezus. Did I forget something?

Nothing, says Roo-kai.

You were checking on me, says Sweezus. 

I was, says Roo-kai. My future depends on that parcel.

To the President of France, says Sweezus. You a spy or something? What was on that camera?

As if a spy would post spy material to the President of France via Australia Post, says Roo-kai. Let alone allow a third party to post it.

Hell no, says Sweezus. Just saying.

It does all seem rather foolish, says Roo-kai. It's not my preferred way of sending sensitive information.

Yeah right, says Sweezus. He'd have his own spying department with stuff all encrypted and that. And, like, you could've sent what's on the camera directly. Job done. No third party the wiser.

You should be a spy, says Roo-kai. I'll remember all that for next time.

Next! says the woman behind the counter.

Two bento boxes, and .... you want anything? asks Sweezus.

Yes please, says Roo-kai.

And one fried oyster sushi roll, thanks, says Sweezus.

Fried? says Roo-kai.

You'll love it, says Sweezus.

He pays for his order. They head back to the office together.

I really should be getting back to Gaius and Terence, says Roo-kai.

Okay, yeah, says Sweezus. Wanna take your fried oyster sushi roll?

I'll pass, thanks, says Roo-kai. Give it to Vello. 

Bugger that! says Sweezus. Hey! When's Gaius heading to Queensland?

As soon as his quarantine period ends, says Roo-kai. He's got one of those apps now. 

They're pretty useless, says Sweezus. Facial ID doesn't work nine times out of then. Or eight, something like that. He could probably head off whenever.

I'll tell him, says Roo-kai. And by the way, he's going to be stopping off at Taree to look for Screaming Tree Frogs.

Taree, says Sweezus. Is that inland?

Could be, says Roo-kai.

Sweezus suspects that it is. 

Leaving Roo-kai, he heads back to the office to eat his bento and fried oyster sushi roll. Only then will he google Taree.
