'My dear little fellows, it's time...'
But Santa can't finish his sentence because Magpie has just finished reading an alarming piece of news through WeChat from Panda. This is the news he just read:
'Magpie, my friend, something more serious is going on here. I just learnt from a friend of mine that there are some police vehicles to block the road in one area here in Shenzhen. I'm there very soon. I'll be in touch immediately I know more. But judging by a police bulletin I saw not a long time ago I think they are dealing with the beast of the bulletin, and the picture on the bulletin is definitely Wolverine. There is no doubt about that. And they sure mean business, because, as far as I gather, there seems to be a
special force unit there too, in which case Wolverine is in big, big trouble.'
So Magpie steps in and finishes Santa's sentence by saying, 'really high time we were already there!' and shows the message to Santa.
Santa bellows the order, 'Off you go, to Shenzhen!'
Fox manages to jump onboard by the skin of his teeth wearing the digital camera around his neck. The sleigh jolts into motion, accelerates and disappears in the wink of an eye only leaving a white stripe in the sky.
