Nono, het Zigzag Kind (Nono, the Zigzag Kid) Page #2

---

But everybody calls me Nono.

God spare me if I would act

like everybody else.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

Wow, watch out for pickpockets.

My dad always says...

...that people on the train are very

absent-minded, ideal for pickpockets.

We have to go, or we will

never be at the car at 9:33 exactly.

Car? What car?

Did I say car?

I meant locomotive.

Excuse us sir,

but we are in a hurry.

Present from Mr Conductor!

There really are pickpockets

on the train.

Come on!

Good morning, sir,

it is lovely to meet you.

Whoa, stop!

The public is not allowed...

Of course sir, but...

...little Michael here would love

to see a real locomotive.

That's out of the question!

He'd really like to see it

before it's too late.

The wish of a sick child.

Very sick.

That was the moment

I could have stopped it.

I should just have said:

My name is not Michael...

...and I'm as fit as a fiddle.

But what I said was...

That's terrible of course, and if

it were up to me, I would allow it...

You would allow it! Wonderful!

How do we go faster?

Here, by turning this wheel you'd

make the train speed up...

...and this is how you slow it down.

This is the emergency break.

Don't touch that! This is

unacceptable, you have to leave.

- Just one minute and we're off.

- No, you have to go now.

Perhaps you didn't understand me.

We'll get off in exactly 48 seconds.

Our car is waiting for us,

there at the crossing.

That's enough! Out! Get out!

Be quiet. Or you might obtain

a second belly button.

Mister Feierberg, would you?

Or are you afraid?

Mister Feierberg...

Thank you again.

You've been a great help.

Maybe you would like to call

the police right away?

Here you go.

That's style, no?

Yes, that train driver

was scared to death.

Now he'll have a good story

to tell in a bar, for years to come.

And he was afraid of what?

Of a toy gun!

But you weren't afraid, were you?

No no, I realized it immediately.

Are you too warm?

A little music?

Say, how did you grab the keys

from the conductor?

A magician never reveals his tricks.

You need fast fingers.

Look!

Voila, enjoy.

Can you drive a car?

But I thought it was a toy gun.

What do you think, Herr Feierberg?

Maybe they sold me

a dud at the toy store.

Come, we have to change all the time...

- ... or the police will find us.

- The police?

But didn't my father arrange

everything?

Adventure isn't adventure

without pursuit. Give me a hand.

But what exactly is our mission?

Today everything is possible.

You decide and we'll do it.

Today you're the inspector.

Camouflage.

Come on.

- What's that?

- The police is looking for a white car.

We'll drive straight past them in this.

Schonen tag, thank you, merci.

And now...

...I want you to put this on.

Girls' clothes?

The ideal disguise.

Yes, but I think I might

go back to the other...

Dispatching says we should

check out the train first.

Come on, or Jean-Pierre

will beat us to it again.

Alright already, let's go.

See that? Camouflage.

It works, doesn't it?

Look, if you are too afraid...

- ... I'll take you home in an instant.

- No, I'll go with you.

I know what our mission will be.

You see, I had discovered

the identity of my teacher.

- You don't know Felix Glick?

- No.

He's only the biggest criminal

that ever lived...

Gaby was always telling me

about this Glick.

He had a private yacht and

a thousand different lovers.

So he opens the case...

... a different lady in every town...

...or that time he made

that deal in Tokyo...

Everywhere he striked, he left

behind a golden lightning bolt.

He operated all over the world.

And no one could catch him.

My jewellery!

The Picassos!

Only the most valuable paintings

had disappeared.

When we came back, everything was

empty. He simply took everything.

He left this.

Oh, if only I had a golden lightning

bolt from Felix Glick...

...and Lola Ciperola's red shawl...

Then the world would be

at my feet.

- I tell you this before?

- Only 864 times before.

Look.

I would wear the shawl...

...in my hair, like this...

...and the lightning bolt here.

Maybe I'd become a criminal myself

and steal your father's heart.

Yes, I'm sure he could never

resist that combination.

So that's your plan, to get the

red shawl from Lola Ciperola...

...and give it to Madame Gaby?

That's it?

Yes! And...

...that's it, yes.

But Frau Ciperola,

doesn't she live in France?

Let's go!

Suits you, that wig.

Felix Glick had only been

arrested once.

By my dad.

But of all people, why did my dad

choose Felix Glick to train me?

Thanks for meeting me.

There's only one man who has been

able to catch me. I greatly respect that.

- What can I do?

- My son needs training.

In order to become the best inspector,

he has to think like the best criminal.

And that's you.

When I'm done,

he'll be a super cop.

This Madame Gaby, she's lucky you

want to give her such a nice present.

I don't know her that well. Has she been

your dad's girlfriend for a long time?

Gaby is no 'girlfriend'.

She's just Gaby!

When she saw my dad changing my diaper

on his desk, she fell in love with him.

Feierberg the super cop,

changing diapers?

Yes, a long time ago.

That was just after the death

of Zohara, my mum.

Yes, maybe you don't know...

...but she died when I was

only one year old.

Do you often think of her?

Sometimes.

I have a picture of her.

You want to see it?

You can't see her well,

but I think she was very pretty.

This is a very beautiful woman.

I am an expert in women.

And I think I know where this picture

was taken. Is this Moon Mountain?

What?

Moon Mountain, a place in France,

Mont de la Lune. You've never heard of it?

- No.

- Cool, a mother who rides a horse.

Rides a horse?

Look...

Here's the horse...

This is the neck...

A leg...

Like this...

And so she sits like this...

On the horse.

That's my talent:

To look closely.

And Mrs Zohara looks like

another woman I used to know...

...that also liked horse riding

very much.

Wig!

Take a left here.

Are we allowed back here?

Down here.

What if she doesn't want visitors?

Why would we decide for her

that she doesn't want to see us?

After you, sir.

Hey, don't touch that!

Lola loves to hear her own voice!

Felix! Keep your hands

off her things!

Felix?

So you know who I am?

There's only one person

who has golden lightning bolts.

And you didn't say anything.

Congratulations.

One day, you will be

the best inspector in the world.

I invented our mission after I saw

those lightning bolts.

Gaby...

Ah, madame Gaby not only

wants the shawl, yes?

She always says:
If only I had

Lola Ciperola's red shawl...

...and Felix Glick's golden lightning bolts,

the world would be at my feet.

This Madame Gaby

is a special woman, yes?

You want to see them?

I had 700 of these made

by a goldsmith in Buenos Aires.

- These are the last three.

- Wow.

Why did you choose a lightning

bolt as your symbol?

Well, you know,
