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 1 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.
