Lucy, outside of the courthouse: Has there been any progress in determining the whereabouts of the defendant?
Larry the Lemur: Yes, Your Honor, er, Lucy. She was spotted making a getaway in a helicopter. We have some footage of it. Here it is on my cell phone.

We tracked the chopper as far as the Azores Archipelago, which sits in the Atlantic Ocean approximately halfway between the U.S. and Germany.
Lucy: You don’t mean Chia is headed to…
Larry: Yes, it does seem that she knows where her sister went under the witness protection plan. Uh, Lucy? Would you please go ahead and carry me back home now? You know I don’t walk so well anymore. Not since Chia…well…never mind.

meanwhile, in Bavaria..
Xexe: Gee, Shanaya, thanks for letting me sleep here at your apartment. These sleeping cubicles are so cozy with the heat lamp on during these cold nights.
Shanaya: Of course, Xexe, you can stay as long as you need to. Let’s try to get some shut-eye now.
a few minutes later…

Shanaya: Xexe, is that you snoring? You woke me up.
Xexe: No, I don’t snore. Only Chia snores. *eyes open wide*

Xexe *whispering*: What the double hockey sticks is she doing here? How’d she find me?
Shanaya *whispering*: I wish I knew. You go back to bed and I’ll stand guard.
Xexe *whispering*: What if she wakes up? She might tear you to bits.
Shanaya *whispering*: Don’t worry about me. I have a blackbelt in jujitsu.
Xexe: *shakes head, wondering how a belt that is black and soaking in a fruit juice drink can help. Or is that the Bavarian way of swearing…*
Chia: *yawn* You know I can hear you two whispering.
Xexe and Shanaya: *gasp*
To be continued…
Java Bean: “Ayyy, Xena, this seems like one of those ‘you can run but you cannot hide’ scenarios!”

This saga is getting very interesting. We sure hope Chia doesn’t do anything that would put her on the naughty list.

Gosh and Golly – this story is just so exciting I can hardly wait to hear what’s NEXT! I really like those sleeping cubicles at the end of that bed – – – adding that to my Christmas Wish List but worried it might be too late for Santa to “get the message”…..oh well…..I can continue to just sleep under the Christmas tree on top of the train track. Sigh.
hugs, Teddy
