Rosa led the search party to the cave where she knew that Ebony had gone to. It was on a slight incline and a bit rocky. This cave was first chosen because Ebony didn't want anyone to quickly come after her while she was sick.
"This is it," Rosa told the others who were with her, "just be careful. It's a bit rocky along the pathway."
~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony, in the meantime, was making her slow trek back to the entrance of the cave, also being careful of the edges on the side and the small rocks strewed about the path. She wasn't in such a hurry, but she just needed some comfort.
And there was that ache in her underside that needed to be looked at soon.

Jean smiled, sipping at her cinnamon infusion, shaking her front very quickly once. That certainly cleared her sinuses. Then, she grinned. "Oh, it's gonna be great, I'm sure," she stated lightly. "It's for troubled kids... a really great idea."
She stretched slightly, glancing over as Sally drove up, Aaron in tow. The boy was writing something rather cheerfully on a piece of paper unfolded on his hood.
"Whatcha writin', sweetie?" Flo questioned.
"A letter t'Santa," the child replied. "Sally said us goin' into the caves wasn't bad enough t'make me bad for all year."
David whuffed, wrinkling up his nose a bit and squinting. The bandage and the wound itched a bit, but he was better behaved than to scratch at it.

Phoenix nodded and carefully started poking her way along being wary of her sprained axle on the rocks.

Zed followed along behind Phoenix, Slaytor, Boost and the others. Folks sure had a knack for getting into trouble around here. He kept an eye on Phoenix, to be sure she didn't hurt herself worse.
Slaytor followed kild of like he was on autipilot, All the promises he made and then he leaves her alone and this happens... <i>How can I protect others if I cant even keep her safe?</i>

As the search party entered the cave looking for her, Ebony was making her way toward the entrance, with Ryder's guidance, keeping slow and careful because of the ache. To anyone looking at her right now, she looked like she'd been crying for an hour and she still felt terrible.
Soon, she heard the unmistakable sound of engines and tires approaching...

Mike, following Slaytor, sighed as he read the signs of worry on the 'Stang's face. Better get used to this, pal.
Sara Jamieson came up to Sally, Jean and Aaron while they were together. "Good morning." She smiled at Aaron. Looking back up at Sally, she asked "I haven't seen Lightning around. How is he?"
Sonya gave David a pat on the side. "It's not easy, isn't it?"
Slick gently massaged Kamui's side, like a cat working its paws...

"He's resting at the Cones right now. He's been pretty tired lately," Sally replied, rolling forward a bit as the boy next to her continued to write. "I feel awful. Racing is his life, and here he is, stuck like this..."
David sighed deeply. "No... it itches. I'll try not to mess with it, but I can't promise a thing."
((Brb, shower.))

Boost also kept an eye on Phoenix. He didn't want her to get hurt while on this trek into the cave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony, although she hears the others, slows as she tries to think of what she was going to say to them when they find her. But she is very confused and very upset and she really didn't want to get yelled at for her behavior. All she wanted was for everyone's understanding and support.
(((((OOC: Having a bit of trouble on how I want Ebony and the search party to meet.)))))

"And the one who did it to him is right in the impound." Sara frowned. "I can't imagine how he feels about that."
Sonya took some spray from her first aid kit, pulled back the dressing, and applied it to the affected area. "This should cut it down some."
The other helos looked on with concern, and a bit of anger.
Mike looked ahead to the tuners at the lead, wondering if they had caught Ebony's scent yet....

"Thank you," the young helo stated, sighing deeply, his side twitching just slightly at the feel of the spray against the wound. "It's odd. I've been burned before, but it's felt nothing like this..."
Sally frowned, glancing back over towards the Cones. "He mostly just tries to ignore it... and it's bad enough now with my mother in town, and now Hadrian's been harassing him... I don't know what to do anymore."
She flipped up a wiper, lightly wiping some dirt from the top of Aaron's cab almost distantly as the boy muttered a dejected, "Stoppit, sis, I'm clean enough."

She could smell Ebony now. That scent was unmistabable to Rosa. She rose on her shocks and whuffed at the scent. her spikes clicking.
"I smell her," she said, "She's near."
~~~~~~~~~~
At the sound of Rosa's voice, Ebony stopped. She wanted to go out to them but she couldn't go any further because of the ache in her underside that had been getting worse. So she waited until they came upon her.

Sara frowned at the mention of the Boxster. "That's the same character who just told me I should have stuck to short-track racing as "That's the only place they'd take you seriously there," and like he's the first who ever favored me with THAT wisdom."
Ondine rose on her shocks, trying to get a view over the roofs of those before her. "Ebony!"
"Those monofilament whips are nasty." Sonya grimaced. "Lots of little cuts, all of which hurt like hell. Have to watch it closely now, so that it doesn't get infected."
"When I get off this mat, I'm gonna show those @#$% what stings." Veronica growled.

"Veronica, please, it's fine. I was foolish and this is what I get for it." He gave a gentle smile towards the blue-eyed helo. "I don't want to see you hurt again."
Sally grimaced. "Hadrian is... ugh. He was my ex-fiance, when I was living in LA. That story, though..." She sighed. "It's a long one."
((I'm off to work. Please feel free to puppet!))

Fabrizio had followed just aft and right of Rosa as she followed the trail. He had learned to give her enough space to suddenly swing around and pursue the scent, wherever it turned, without being in the way. Upon entering the cave, he couldn't help feeling a little leery. He lifted his visor and clicked on his headlights in the darkened space.
He almost stopped short when Rosa announced they were close. Hearing Ondine call out, he moved aside (a difficult task in the narrow pathway), if either the Bricklin or anyone else felt like rushing past him to greet the wayward Viper.

Kamui started feeling better. Slick's massaging was helping too.
"I guess.... I can't forget who I really am. You're here. And my friends are here and I'm still me no matter what," said Kamui.
