Raine gave a bit of a puzzled look, "Check what out?"

(((Back from work.))
Phoenix scanned the walls of the tunnel. She wasn't focused on sensing if anyone was following them.

Doc was cycling through the selection on the MP3 player. "Any particular kind of music you like, Rainedrop? Sometimes it can do some good. I've heard of lots of doctors who'd play music right in the OR while they were working."
<<< Hitting the sack soon >>>

Delfina's ears twitched in irritation this time. She could get the scent easily. Growling, she took off into the grass.
"I'm going on ahead!" she shouted back as she ran, "I'll find her!"
She was having an adrenaline rush right now, as well as a flow of energy that seemed to give her a lot more strength than usual. She had to get to Peggy before those wolves did. It was a good thing that the moon was full so that she could see where she was going.
"Peggy!" she called out.
~~~~~
Ebony snapped to attention when she heard this, "Damn! There's predators everywhere! We have to go out and look for her!"
The Viper revved her engine and soon joined Kathleen on the scent search, hoping to pick up a trace of the little girl's scent. She saw Delfina running off into the grass and decided to follow the woman.
~~~~~
Lightning also snapped awake, "Huh? Oh, man..." he groaned, "I was having this nice dream and it had Sally in it..."
He shook himself awake, "Okay, what's the situation?"
~~~~~
Jade continued to trail Ricardo and Phoenix through the tunnel, wondering just where in the world they were going.

Raine gave a slight shrug, "There should be some music from Twilight Princess on there... I like the relaxing music on the game... puts me right to sleep..."

"It looks like every other cave wall I've seen here," Phoenix said. "Where's Delfina when you need her."

"She went with those going to Cheyenne Mountain," reminded Ricardo, "I don't know who else around here would be an expert in geology."
~~~~~
Jade, Dawn, and Misty were far back out of sight and nearly out of earshot. They continued to trail the Stealth and the Trans Am down the passageway, progressing quietly.

"One of the little kids just went missing." Strip told Lightning. "We gotta get to her before some of those animals out there make a meal of her. He pointed to where Ebony, Kathleen and Delfina were searching. "Go real slow and easy in the grass, and keep calling. The name's Peggy."
Peggy's mother was now beside herself as the others tried to calm her down. In the distance, wolves were already moving through the tall grass, salivating in the anticipation of a kill.
Peggy heard faint voices calling her name. "I'm here!" she called back, but she'd already wandered a good distance from the camp site.
Liska was shining a flashlight through the grass, regretting that she didn't have her tracking dog with her.
"Looks like they're stuck on something." Misty said to Jade.
Doc found the Twilight Princess track and started it.

"Me either," Phoenix said kicking a rock into the wall and it landed with a loud clatter. "I don't know what to look for."

"It's the geology," replied Jade, "I don't think they know much about it or know what they're looking for."
~~~~~
"Well, if the walls look the same, why not look for something out of the ordinary?" offered Ricardo, "Something that's not supposed to be there."
~~~~~
Delfina took off when she heard Peggy return the answer. Running fast through the grass, her heart beating at a fast rate, she realized that she had to reach the girl before the wolves.
"Peggy! Don't move! We're coming!" she called out as loudly as she could, while still running.
~~~~~
Lightning stood up, nodding, "Right." The racecar joined the others in the tall grass calling out Peggy's name.

Raine closed her eyes and tried to relax as she listened to the theme of Faron Woods, imagining herself and her father relaxing beside a spring as the sunlight poured through the leaves and dappled the ground. She could hear the twittering songbirds and watched butterflies kiss the flowers that rose to greet the sun... She felt safe, content, and for a moment, she didn't feel the pain and agony of her illness. She could feel Doc rubbing her back soothingly with his antenna, his gentle touch lulling her to sleep...

"Some different," Phoenix mumbled trailng her antenna along the wall absently. She gave a yelp when she jammed it against something.
(((And that really hurts too!)))

Peggy froze where she was. She could hear rustling sounds in the grass beyond her, and she didn't know what it was. It scared her, and she began to cry.
Kathleen perked up as the sound of a child crying came to her. "Delfina, she's off to your right! Another thirty feet!"
An approaching wolf moved through the bushes, off to confront something moving ahead of it... and came face-to-face with Strip, Lightning and Ebony.
"Wolves!" Strip shouted to Delfina. He gunned his engine to frighten the animal off. It slid to a stop, whirled about and leaped back into the darkness.
Strip turned back to Ebony. "Can you tell where Peggy is?"
"Ouch. That must hurt." Dawn winced in vicarious suffering.
Doc continued to maintain physical contact with Raine. That seemed to settle her.

Ricardo stopped and looked back, "Are you alright?"
~~~~~
Jade winced, "Yeah, that must really hurt."
~~~~~
Ebony's eyes flashed ferally as she saw the wolf, until it was scared off by Strip's revving his engine.
"She's over this way," Ebony said, pointing to the right with her antenna.
~~~~~
Delfina took off toward her right, following the sounds of crying. "Peggy! Hold on! We'll be right there!"
Soon, she reached the crying child and skidded to a halt and knelt down before, checking the girl over for any injuries, but finding none. "Peggy? Are you alright? We were all worried about you."

Phoenix nodded shaking her antenna. "Just jammed my antenna against something. I don't know what."
