You leap to your feet and look around, and as soon as you find Joe's tracks you set off running down the road after him! You're not following him to give him back his picture, obviously! You're following him to steal that cutécaptor so no one can use it to capture you! If you happen to put the picture back in its place, so what? It's just a dumb picture!
After a few minutes, you realize you'll need to be sneaky if you want to steal the cutécaptor without Joe noticing, and you slow down to a fast walk. There aren't any other roads around here, so he must still be on this one!
An hour later, you spot Joe in the distance and quickly duck out of sight. It's almost lunch time! Your stomach is growling! You hope it doesn't give you away!
You sneak through the forest alongside the road until you get close to where Joe has stopped to eat his lunch. You didn't know he had any food!
While he's sitting and looking up the road, you crawl up behind him and reach into his jacket pocket and feel the cutécaptor!
You have it!
Wait, you forgot about the picture! You bend over and dig around in your own pocket and almost lose your balance! The cutécaptor goes up into the air and you barely catch it!
You stick the picture in Joe's pocket and hold perfectly still with the cutécaptor balanced in one hand...
Joe didn't notice anything!
You crawl away as quickly and quietly as you can. As soon as you make it to the trees, Joe turns around and you quickly duck down.
"Hello?" Joe looks around at the trees. "Is someone there?"
After a moment he stands up and stretches, and then picks up his things and starts walking east again! You think you should say something to him, but you don't know what to say!
Instead, you just watch him until he's out of sight.
