Lightning nodded. He already had a plan mapped out in his head, and would concentrate on it.
"I know you can't help worrying." Doc nodded. "But I'm a lot more concerned for the people here. I'm not gonna run from a dirtbag like Grayston, no matter what kinda hocus-pocus he can conjure up."
Shayla did not want to give the impression of being too eager to compromise or parley, so she decided she would wait Grayston out rather than demand what it was.

Raine just closed her eyes in defeat, resting her head on her arms as she lay on the ground, feeling helpless.

"Got it," said Ebony, concentrating on following Cole's scent toward the town that the Impreza was trapped in. She was betting on not only luring Grayston away, but also confronting those two big black SUVs that seemed to always be with him and lure them away from Cole.

"Look," Grayston said bluntly. "All I want is my granddaughter and my books returned to me."
~~~~~
"He always bring Stu and Lou with him where ever he goes." Phoenix said referring to the SUV pair. "But they're all brawn and no brains."

Cole was making a plan of his own in the meantime. But its consecuences were bit bad, expecially if Grayston would win. It practially entailed of running away speeding, outrunning the SUV, but not returning to the compound, but to the safety of the Organization.
But because of its questionable results, he sent a message to Kathleen. "Unless you came up with some sort of plan, I am going to bolt out of here, but I may not be able to return at all if I do so."

"I have nicknames for those two," said Ebony, "I either call them Dumb and Dumber or Stupid and I'm with Stupid. Fits them perfectly. I can handle them easily."

"That's her choice." Shayla told him. "Y'think she didn't know that's what you wanted? She's out there - but you're gonna hafta catch her yourself."
Lightning was on his alternate course, staying just inside a mile's radius of the town.
"And I want to stay and fight for you, too." Doc looked over to Raine. "So I can look you in the eye when this is over."
: Do what you have to do to survive: Kathleen answered Cole. :Thank you for the help you've given us, and we hope to see you again at some point.:

Ebony took her own route, approaching the town, but staying completely out of sight. She hoped that the false signature would work and remained poised to bolt just in case Grayston goes after her.

Raine glanced up at Doc with fearful eyes. She was afraid, afraid for him. She gently wrapped her arms around his muzzle, sniffling softly. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you, Doc..."

"If you..." Grayston paused as he sensed a familiar signature. "No need. Apparently she followed you here. Now if you'll excuse me, I have best be finding her before she finds herself in any trouble." He shifted and turned to where the the signal was approaching town.
~~~~
Phoenix stayed back, waiting in case.

With the appearent 'good luck' from Kathleen, he took it as there had been nothing. He brought up the GPS unit and studied the map of the town. He noticed the routes that he would have to take for the run, deciding that it was safer to aim for the nearest interstate and get speed there than to stay on the old routes.
Cole went outside, of the motel, leaving one of the keys for the room behind, while still carrying the other. The room had been prepaid, so he didn't worry about any county cops coming to his tail.
He got to a fast service fuel station not far from the crossroads, and there, filled up, waited for his chance. It was ridiculisly funny to see the two SUV looking as non-chathalant as possible.
Then, the wind delivered him a familiar scent.

It's showtime, Ebony thought as she quickly turned tail and put on speed, driving away from town, C'mon, Mr. Grayston. Follow the flashy false signature. I know you want to.
She kept her mind focused on the road ahead of her, concentrating on the turns that she was taking.

Lightning waited in abeyance, holding himself in reserve until the opportunity presented itself for maximum confusion.
Shayla watched Grayston leave, keeping her face an emotionless mask. Yes, go follow that lovely trail, see what you get!
"There is such a thing as picking your battles, Raine." Doc sighed. "But sometimes, the battle picks you."

:Kathleen, I just smelled both Ebony and Shayla. I want to go back because I don't think anyone else can represent the humans as I have. I can lose the escort I have, but I don't know if Grayston has a tracker on me. Should I go to the compound directly, or we can arrange rendevouz to eliminate any tracker spells on me? Or do the wards do it automatically?:

Ebony picked up more speed and tore off down the road. She was going to keep away from the Interstate so that she could keep the advantage of route knowledge. The twists and turns of the backroads were what she was using to her advantage to keep Grayston from getting too close to her.
