Pito was growing increasingly alarmed by the way Nora's mouth didn't move when she spoke. Though she did still order everyone around so he wasn't as concerned as he might have otherwise been. However, three days after Pito had crashed his motorcycle, "Nora" made an odd request for lunch.
"Llamas, I am tired of cheeseburgers. I'd like a peanut butter sandwich, no jelly, some celery with peanut butter, and a peanut butter milkshake. Make it happen, llamas!" she demanded.
Pito had a sneaking suspicion that "Nora" wasn't Nora. He wondered if somehow Evil Emperoress Elsie had managed to infiltrate their group.
He was about to confront "Nora" when JoyJoy, who is actually a giraffe but since she's the only giraffe in their neighborhood, they let her join the llama retribution squad, came running over to Pito.
She was terribly excited and it took several minutes for her to stop sneezing enough to explain what was happening. Finally she pointed to a spot in the fence and Pito just saw a hint of yellow.
"Is it the duckling?" he asked JoyJoy.
She nodded and pointed again.
Pito managed to get the llamas attention.
"Llamas, the duckling that attacked Nora and I is hiding in those bushes over there! If we have any hope of protecting Nora, we must capture that duckling and interrogate her!" Pito proclaimed.
The llamas turned to look at the bushes where Pito pointed.
"Let's get her!" They yelled as they took off toward the fence.
"Uh oh," Pito heard "Nora" say just before she ran for the fence.
Until next time, be ever attentive!
