Part 119: Following the Trail
![](1-2s9rmva.jpg)
The last time we were in Cannes, there was a pair of kids on the beach. Let's go talk to them.

Gura: Yup. He was lying on the beach. Me and Guri found him.
![](5-2091szp.jpg)
Gura: Hey! It's rude to call somebody you never even met before a "bad guy"!
Guri: Yeah, but he's got spikes coming out of his shoulders. Of course he's a bad guy.
![](6-nbd64y.jpg)
Lenny!
![:neckbeard:](../Smilies/emot-neckbeard.gif)

Gura: Eeek! He's still alive! Let's take him home. Here, give me a hand!
Guri: Huh? But Mom told us not to bring any more weird things home...
Gura: Don't be dumb! Saving a life is more important than that. C'mon, help me!

![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Guri: Nope. He left after he got better. He said he was going north.
![](10-e6r6u8.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Well, north could be a lot of places, but he probably tried to go back to Rasputin, so let's check out Petrograd.
![](11-15mgw3o.jpg)
There's an old lady hanging out by the bridge.
![](2-21916v8.jpg)
![](12-j9n6t5.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Tanarope: Up to no good? Of course not! That man rescued me!
![](13-15yf60l.jpg)
Us? Is he referring to himself and his tapeworm?
![](14-2l8j7du.jpg)
![](15-2w4lemd.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Borscht: What, you wanna get yourself hurt too?
![](17-o7j3mg.jpg)
![](18-r8b2j4.jpg)
Borscht: Yikes! We're sorry, Mister. We didn't mean no harm!
![](19-9u6bug.jpg)
And there he goes.
![](20-2cfr3fr.jpg)
Tanarope: Thank you, son. You saved me.
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Tanarope: Yes, what with the war and tyranny... And then that thing with Rasputin lately. What will become of Russia...?
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Tanarope: I don't know the whole story, but I hear Princess Anastasia and her attendants defeated him.
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
![](21-25jute8.jpg)
![](22-111paf5.jpg)
Tanarope: I don't really remember, but I think he said something about going to visit an old acquaintance in France.
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](23-2n682nc.jpg)
There's a lot of places in France to check, but we want this odd-looking guy in Champs Élysées, Paris.
Nupach: I bet you're here sightseeing? Isn't that nice!
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](24-am722h.jpg)
Nupach: Whaaat?! How did you know...?
![](25-2l5kcy.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Nupach: Lenny? He left town already... Oops! Never mind. I was just kidding! I haven't seen hide nor hair of Lenny!
![](2-21916v8.jpg)
Oh, look who's talking.
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Nupach: Yeah, yeah. All right. Lenny was... heading for Cannes.
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](26-n6t8bn.jpg)
![](27-5bp4xt.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](28-so5kxd.jpg)
Nupach: Lenny himself isn't a bad guy. He even saved my life once.
![](29-2hwf9jc.jpg)
![](30-15qew5s.jpg)
![](31-oiwtqe.jpg)
![](32-33248zm.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Nupach: Yes, sir. She's getting up there in years, so I'm trying to make a little money and help her out.
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Nupach: B-but would it really be right for me to be the only one running away...?
![](33-4tmstl.jpg)
![](34-vdlhmo.jpg)
Nupach: Gee, Lenny...
![](35-av3qmq.jpg)
Nupach: Lenny isn't a bad guy! So, please... don't hurt him, okay?
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](36-16c5ij4.jpg)
Back at Cannes, there's a guy on the stairs that wasn't there before.
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Cesare: I do, but I'm not going to tell you just like that. If you want to know about Lenny, you've got to have a little arithmetic contest with me first!
![](37-10ofih5.jpg)
Cesare: Okay, here's how it'll go. I'll give you a problem, and you pick from the multiple-choice answers. If you get ten problems right in a row, you win. Ready?
![](38-bdkyh4.jpg)
This math quiz works just like the trivia quizzes. It's all simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so I won't bother listing all the problems.
![](39-28mh4jt.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Cesare: He headed off to St. Marguerite a little while ago. Said he was going back to the place he got beat at.
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Cesare: Well, I'm sure you'll catch up with him. Why don't you take a minute to listen to an old story of mine? I met Lenny for the first time five years ago...
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Cesare: Just shut up and listen to the story, mac.
![](40-2nw1v8i.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Cesare: My family's poor, and I couldn't go to school. I can't read. I don't know how to do anything but steal!
Last time I checked, "early-20th-century-laborer" didn't require actually being able to read.
![](41-sc6m4h.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Cesare: Arithmetic?
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
Cesare: ...Really? You can really teach me?
![](42-25jdv20.jpg)
S-sure you are, Lenny. Sure you are...
![](43-2ljowp1.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
Cesare: Lenny used to say that people who were good at math were good people.
![](44-1zf6jc9.jpg)
Now that we've followed Lenny's trail, we can find him hanging around in Roger's cell at St. Marguerite.
![](45-2gwb9c3.jpg)

![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](47-2psoa45.jpg)
![](48-2rhnx3b.jpg)
![](49-4hph14.jpg)
Yuri walks over to the hole Lenny smashed in the wall.
![](50-2eai9aw.jpg)
![](51-359dd2x.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)

![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](52-111npyr.jpg)
You got Bike Jacket
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](16-34iiikm.jpg)
![](4-264t6jl.jpg)
![](53-ed57c.jpg)
![](54-dr82ys.jpg)
![](55-8zfseg.jpg)
And we now have Yuri's Ultimate Armor.

![](56-2nw1ov8.jpg)
And so Lenny sat in the tower for a while. Then he decided that he wasn't happy without someone to boss him around, so he went and became a butler for those two kids that pulled him out of the ocean. And they all lived happily ever after. Or not. I'm a little fuzzy on the details.
