“Uh…” blurted Jamie, who was slightly stunned. He nodded and replied after a pause, “I got it, but we’re not really doing anything. You’re the one carrying out all the tasks.”
“It’s called teamwork,” replied Robbie in a serious tone. “You’ve watched spy movies, so you should know that this is a tactical move.”
“Alright, but be careful since you’re on your own,” said Jamie, who was still a little worried.
“I’m not on my own. I have Fifi with me. Have you forgotten that it is a member of our team too?” reminded Robbie. As he spoke, he kept an eye on Fifi through the application.
“Oh, yeah,” said Jamie. He recalled that, on the day they formed the group, Fifi had put its leg in when they put their hands together, signifying that it joined the team as well.
“Remember to stall Great-grandpa. Otherwise, I won’t have time to carry out my task. Understand?” instructed Robbie.
“Got it… Robbie, please be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I will be fine.”
Robbie reverted his attention back to his phone after he hung up. Fifi couldn’t fly as fast as the mechanical dove could because it had been raised indoor. They had only recently let it out of the house, which improved its flying, but it was still not fast enough. Given its speed, it would take some time before Fifi reached Northridge.
That’s fine, though. It will take Great-grandpa some time to get to the school, and I still have to wait for the bodyguards to come and get me. Only then will I get the opportunity to sneak to Northridge. Otherwise, I won’t even be able to leave the villa.
Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door at that moment. The maid reported, “The science teacher is here.”
“Please lead him to the study room. I will be there soon,” said Robbie.
“Okay,”
The maid left after that.
Robbie then sent Fifi a voice message. “Fifi, take a break if you’re tired. You don’t need to hurry over. Safety first, okay?”
“Okay. Okay.”
It had been a while since Fifi flew that far, but it knew that it was assigned an important mission. That was why it persisted and kept flying.
Now that Robbie gave it permission to rest, the parrot felt relieved. It landed on a huge tree and rested there.
The new device could record videos from any angle and share them on Robbie’s phone in real-time. Other than that, it also had a navigation system and a communication system.
After doing some calculations, Robbie deduced that it would take Fifi some time to reach Northridge, so he took his phone with him into the study room for his class.
“Mr. Robbie, phones are not allowed in class,” reminded the teacher with a smile.
“I am waiting for an important call,” insisted Robbie. “It won’t affect the lesson. I promise.”
“Alright then, let us begin.”
Having said that, the teacher started teaching the lesson.
At that moment, Henry had reached the school. He initially wanted to listen in on the open class discreetly, but the school discovered his presence. That prompted the principal and the directors to come and welcome him in person.
However, Henry didn’t want to affect the class, so he had no choice but to leave the classroom.
The class ended just as he left. When Jamie and Ellie exited the classroom, they saw Henry there and ran over excitedly. “Great-grandpa, what brought you here?”
“Jamie! Ellie!” said Henry. A huge grin crept up on his face as soon as he saw them, answering, “I came to pick you up from school. Let’s go to Fairytale Land for dinner. What do you say?”
“That sounds great!” replied Jamie and Ellie simultaneously.
“Then I’ll have someone take Robbie there to meet us,” said Henry before he signaled with his hand.
With that, Spencer called the bodyguards at home.
“Isn’t it a little too early?” asked Jamie. The timeline was preponed by at least an hour, and he realized that it might affect Robbie’s plans, so he quickly suggested, “Let’s go get Robbie a little later.”
“It’s fine. You guys can leave school earlier today. The last class is just playtime anyway,” informed the principal warmly.
