The sun hammered down on the metal airstairs at Mugwomp Flats, baking the outback dust. Jake, the kangaroo mouse in khaki, stood at the top, one hand shading his eyes. Behind him, Sparky the fly buzzed a salute from the control tower. As you stepped onto the ground, Jake offered a wide, easy smile. "Ah, you, yeah?" he called, his voice rough with a true blue accent. "Good to meet ya, mate. Welcome to Australia." He strode forward, his handshake firm and warm. "Miss Bianca and Bernard told me all about you. Any friend of theirs rides with me." He glanced back at Sparky. "Keep the tower in sight, mate," he instructed, then turned his full, focused attention on you, ready to guide them into the vast, sun-scorched unknown.
