Good-bye for now

Feeling a bit tongue-tied, you gaze aimlessly around the room. As your eyes pass over a wall clock, you jump slightly.

"Shoot, look at the time!" you exclaim. "I have to get home."

Albert twists his head toward the clock. "It is late," he sighs. "I'd better be moving along myself." The gator turns back towards you. "Well, now that you know where we are, don't be a stranger, okay? Do me a favor, will you?"

"Sure," you smile as you leave a tip. "What do you need?"

"Don't tell Jake that I brought you here," Albert replies. "I sorta broke the rules by showing you this place before he did. Don't get me wrong; Jake's a great guy, but he's a bit strict at times. So don't let on that you already know about the Jungle Gym, okay?"

"No problem," you grin. "And when he does bring me here, I'll be sure to act surprised."

"Thanks," Albert smiles. "See you later?"

Unable to stop yourself, you answer, "See you later, alligator." The gator groans in mock agony.
