Carmen: I can’t seem To pin him down. Every time I think I’m Hot on his trail, I’m too late. He’s Skipped town or has Gone underground.

Antonio: That’s Waldo. He’s the most Elusive person I know. I think he actually enjoys Playing a game of cat and mouse with people who are trying To locate him.

Carmen: I’m starting to get that feeling. I’ve been trying To track him down for over two months.

Antonio: He does seem to have a Sixth sense and knows when To vanish.

Carmen: I’m starting to think he doesn’t really Exist and that he’s just a Figment of my imagination.

Antonio: It’s funny you should say that. I think his Ultimate goal is to be Invisible, just another Face in the crowd.
