~Paris, France (TEN YEARS LATER)~

Lieutenant Raincomprix waited in his car with a speed gun in hand. Checking for any speeding vehicle on both side of the road.

Roger: Come on, one car.

He briefly lowers the device and shakes his hand. To pass the time, he imitates how he would track a speeding car, until he accidentally knocks the gun against his jaw

Roger: Ah... I'm bored!

The radio turned on as someone talked with him.

Officer Kennedy: [Roger? You read me? Are you there?]

Roger: No, Davis. I'm actually on a yacht in Barbados. With family.

Officer Kennedy: [OMG... *laughs* That's amazing, please send pics.]

Roger: No, Davis. I'm at the speed trap.

Officer Kennedy: [Already?! How did you get back so fast? Barbados is in the ocean?]

Roger: Hang on. I think I got something...

He grabs his tracking device and aims it at... a turtle. A beep, its speed is registered: 1 MPH. 

Roger: Hey, buddy! Where's the fire?! Got kids living around here. *lifting his hand* I thought it was kind of funny, sorry...

He chuckles and takes his sunglasses off, just as something passes the laser gun, lying on the dashboard. It reads 296 MPH.

Roger: What? 

As the officer pats against the device, thinking it's broken. Lietenant Raincomprix resets the timer, just in time for something to pass it again: 300 MPH. Raincomprix is stunned and looks around and leaves the car. As he looks through the field nearby, he finds something. A blue quill. He picks it up and looks at it from all sides

Officer Kennedy: [Roger, we need you down at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. There has been a violent hostage situation. *laughs* Just kidding, a pigeon stole a bagel. But they do need it back.]

The lieutenant drove off. The turtle continues its tremendously slow walk, but another car drives towards it. Just as it's about to drive over the poor animal, a now teenage Sonic speeds by and pulls it out of the car's way.
