Raine sighed heavily. "Nope, babies can't remember anything at age one... plus I've shoved those memories away successfully so I don't recall them anymore... seriously Doc, why do you want to know?"

Grayston followed throught the wash, skidding, slipping and slidding as he tried to stay balanced. He growled as he readied another bolt to launch.

Ebony still waited. She needed some way to know that Grayston was closing in on her position.

Cole waited bit down in the cave. He didn't want to be visible to the SUVs or Graystone, but he still could hear if there was someone by the mouth of the cave. He never liked a game of hide and seek, expecially in such conditions. But if he was found by the wrong person, that would be bad, very bad.

Shayla was watching the chase from overhead. She could see Grayston near-floundering in the wash. His slipping and sliding would make it very difficult for him to aim much of anything. Lightning was younger, stronger and had prepared for the conditions. Still she desired to improve the odds a bit.
Almost experimentally, she released some of the energy she'd been holding back, aiming it right into the loose stones and grit of the wash. It was invisible to the unaided eye, but the stones and the ground beneath were shaken and stirred into a semi-liquid slurry. She'd been careful to wait until Lightning was on firm ground again, but Grayston was still in the middle of it.
"It could be very important, Raine." Doc reiterated. "Not just to yourself, but to everyone here. Reliving those things might be very painful, but you won't be alone when you do it. I promise you that."
Kathleen set down a few hundred yards from the mouth of the cave that she knew, and hoped that Cole had interpreted her information correctly.

Where are they? Have they even gotten close yet? Ebony thought irritably as she waited in the box canyon, wondering if Grayston is within radio range so that she could call out to him and lure him into her trap.

Cole heard the engine rumble of a jet and climbed out and looked around. He saw Kathleen waiting. "And I thought the last one I would ever see was that Ford." He said relieved.

Grayston growled as his tires caught in the slush. With a surge he broke onto firmer ground and took after his prey.
~~~~~
Phoenix shifted and slowly followed the path that Ebony left. She wanted to get a piece.

"Shayla tells me they've just about got Grayston where they want him." Kathleen announced with some satisfaction.
Lightning hoped that Ebony was in position as he led Grayston onward. The bad footing in the wash had to have worn him out and dinged him some. He raced by Ebony's station point and hoped she was ready to boogie.

"Okay. I heard the engines about three miles from here, that means they are about four to five miles away then. Do your thing and I can return to the compound." Cole then looked down in a thought, then his aknowledgement came back. "I know it would be a good distraction, but I can't do anything against him other than throwing insults."

This cannot go on for much longer, Ebony thought. Hearing Lightning race past her position, Ebony pulls out of the box canyan and sits right in front of the entrance, presenting herself as a nice target and clicks on her radio. "Yo, Graybutt!" she calls out, "Remember me?"

Grayston skidded to a stop as he heard Ebony over the radio. "YOU!" the Ford roared and turned and charged for the canyon ready to lash out with a bolt of lightning.

"I have the spellbooks!" Ebony laughed as she whipped around and headed right back into the box canyon, "Ya want them back? Ya gotta catch me first! Let's see ya try!"

Grayston, sides heaving, turned and chased after the Viper and launched another bolt at Ebony as he chased her.

The lightning bolt just barely missed her back bumper as she swerved to avoid it. Man, that was just a bit too close. She was heading toward the end of the box canyon where there was enough room for her to manuever and get around Grayston and trapping him.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER?" she shouted mockingly, "LOSING YOUR AIM, OLD MAN? YOU MISSED! C'MON, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!"
