Pito hurried Nora from the restaurant, somehow managed to get her on his motorcycle, and screeched out of the parking lot. He was torn, he knew he should follow the duckling and get to the Evil Emperoress Elsie, but he also knew he needed to get Nora to safety before she found out who was behind the attack and made things worse by going to talk to Elsie.
He was certain getting Nora home was the best idea. Once there he could call his fellow llamas and they could figure out what to do.
"Hey Pito, what's with the grocery list?" Nora asked suddenly.
"What list?" Pito asked, hoping she didn't have Elsie's list.
"This one," Nora said as she shoved it in front of Pito's face.
Unfortunately, Pito was still driving his motorcycle and when she shoved the paper in his face, he began to swerve. He could hear a semi coming at them and just as Nora screamed he swerved back into his own lane, over the edge, and into a ditch.
When he looked up, the duckling was standing there. Laughing.
Pito was mad. He'd crashed his motorcycle and had hit his foot on a rock. Now his toe was hurting. A lot. And the duckling laughed.
"Hey, that's not funny. I hurt my toe," Pito yelled up at him.
"Oh, sorry," the duckling called back. "Nora was just funny flailing like that."
Pito shrugged in agreement. He turned to help Nora from the ditch, but...
SHE WAS GONE!!!
Tune in next time! Until then, be ever attentive!
