When Beppo ran him to ground in a shed beside the junkyard and hammered on the door with his fist,
Guido at first mistook him for a would-be stealer of spare parts and kept mum.
Then, recognizing the old man's voice, he unlocked the door. ″What's the matter?″ he grumbled.
″It's Momo,″ Beppo told him breathlessly. ″She's in danger.″
″What are you talking about?″ asked Guido, flopping down on his camp bed. ″Momo? Why, what's happened to her?″
″I don't know, exactly,″ Beppo panted, ″but it doesn't look good.″
And he told Guido all he'd seen, from the trial on the garbage dump,
to the tire tracks around the amphitheater, to Momo's ransacked and deserted room.
He took quite a while to get it all out, of course,
because not even the concern and anxiety he felt for Momo could make him speak any faster than he usually did.
″I knew it all along,″ he concluded. ″I knew it would end in disaster.
Well, now they've taken their revenge - they've kidnapped her. We've got to help her, Guido, but how. How?″
