Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

A Clean Getaway

You smell a rat, figuratively speaking, so you dodge the question to the best of your ability. "I don't have a favourite animal," you reply. "I'm a vegetarian."

The children become confused, and they speak to one another in a strange language. The little girl closes her eyes, as if to think, while the little boy tries to rephrase his question. "I didn't mean your favourite animal to eat," he explains, "but your favourite animal to be!" He turns ashen upon saying the last word, and his sister charges at him like a bull in a china shop.

"Nice going, fleabag!" she shouts. "Now, he's never going to coöperate." Sure enough, when she looks up, you already are gone.
