Trying to Locate Someone
Carmen: Hi, I’m looking for Waldo. I was told that he comes in here From time to time. Have you seen him?
Antonio: Waldo? I haven’t seen him in a while. He comes in sometimes, but it’s pretty Hit-and-miss.
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.
