Adrian solves KEEPERS ANIMALS ENCLOSURE. A bonus 200 has escaped, and Adrian can take it for himself if he knows where we are!
We would be at the zoo.
He needs to go further so Suzie doesn't close the gate on him, but Adrian has taken a JNL 51-cm colour TV, a Microsoft reference suite, or a Royal Selangor glass/pewter bowl from her.
Adrian takes the colour TV.
