"Have you been in any of those caves before?" asked Juni, "Is that why you think the caves are unsafe for us?"
~~~~~
Sapphire watched as Kitt scanned the documents, waiting for an answer.

"I have along with your aunts," Phoenix said. "The caves weaken with time."
~~~~~
"Everything looks legit even the judge's sig," Kitt growled. "He's using old enough to work in his favor. He's looked into this. He knew where this land was when he bought it."

"How do the caves weaken?" asked Juni.
~~~~~
"He's also using this law about being fined for cutting down a type of cactus called the Saguaro," added Sapphire, "Is that really a law? Sounds kinda dumb to me."

"Well the rock gets warn away with time," Phoenix said. "Wind, rain, snow, and all that takes out bits of the rock."
~~~~~
"It is," Kitt said. "Most places have laws like this that you never hear of unless someone uses in a case like this. Sadly most of them usually win."
((Got to go out for a bit BRB.)))

"Is that called erosion?" asked Juni, "I think I learned that in school once."
~~~~~
"He thinks the town violated that law when it was founded," said Sapphire, "and has acquired a lot of debt because the founders had to clear away some of the cactus to build the town."

Melody watched her daughter, Ebony, sleep as she recovered from those injuries that she had recieved from Tony Blitz."

As the tunnels in the caves were like a huge maze, nobody going in would come out the same way if they went in too deep. That was what happened to Jade's group. They went in one way and came out another.
Jade had told Adrian that her father, Joltsen, was indeed in that black structure, but there was nothing that she could do magic-wise to free him. But now that they knew that he was there, they only needed a more definate plan of action to be able to accomplish their goal of securing Joltsen's freedom.

Maven waited for EJ's answer...

((I got ditched too. Everyone's outside of the caves now.))
It took a lot of energy from Jade and Krill to convince Adrian to leave her father behind for the moment. Once outside, and convinced that the SUVs hadn't followed them, Adrian took out one of the vials and handed it over to Jade. "I think this is the 'product' from Joltsen." She said worried. "Do you know what it is?"

-Seeing everybody leave, BC figured he was unwelcome for some reason or another. He backed up, and K-turned, heading out the way he came in, only able to do so by way of his GPS. "I could've helped them," he thought, but his thoughts faded away as he turned on some of his favorite music, and drove into the desert. He had a half tank of gas, which gave him about 400 miles. He had a 200 gallon tank, and got about four miles to the gallon. He came to a patch that was full of cacti.- Oi ve. -BC lowered his header, and plowed through the cacti, cutting them down easy as wheat. He came up around a corner, and saw that he was at a track of some sort.-

Jade looked closely at the vial that Adrian had shown her. It was an undescribable substance that she couldn't figue out what it was.
"I'm afraid that I don't know," the Enzo woman shook her front.
Krill sniffed at it, "Smells like Jhim, though." Even when he was at a young age, the Viper youth could recognize that the scent from the vial did, indeed, belong to the one whom his mother introduced him and his sister to 16 years ago at a racetrack whose name he has forgotten... or his mother had never told him...

It was getting past lunchtime when Ebony woke up again, feeling a little better than before. She stood up and found that she was feeling stronger and not wobbly. Her mother stood by watching her, ready to jump in if Ebony happened to collapse. But she didn't.
"Feeling alright?" asked Melody.
Ebony nodded, "Yes, I'm fine. There's no more pain and I can stay still for only so long before I go crazy. I need to be moving."
"Well, if you're still healing you shouldn't do too much activities," Melody told her daughter, "You'll reopen your wounds if you do too much."
"Relax, Mom, I'm not going to strain myself," Ebony sighed and rolled her eyes, "I'm just going to the diner to get something to eat. What time is it?"
"It's 2 in the afternoon," answered Melody, "Almost too late for lunch. The diner sounds like a good idea right now."
"Alright then," nodded Ebony, "Let's go then."
Turning over her engine, Ebony drove off the couch cushion in the living room and out of the house, followed by Melody. Both Vipers turned toward the diner once they got to the street. Once they both pulled into the stall, they ordered their respective favorite flavors, citrus and raspberry-banana. When they got their orders, they set to their drinks.
Ebony tensed up when she caught a familiar scent and looked to where it was coming from. She saw Grayston, and quickly averted her eyes. So that's why I'm feeling tense, she thought, It's him. Why is he back?
Melody noticed her daughter tense up and gave her a tentative nudge as if to say MY-GUESS-IS-AS-GOOD-AS-YOURS. She didn't know either, but having Grayston here again and surprisingly not causing trouble was both a surprise and an unpleasant feeling.

"Who? Smells like who?" Adrian tensed up.

Phoenix nodded. "Thats right and makes those caves very dangerous."
~~~~~
"Looks like it, and the judges agreed with him," Kitt said flipping through the contract. "And then he himself got the permit that will let him cut down the cactus himself. He's made sure this is as legal as possible."

"Your father," replied Krill, "Maven and I met him when we were just babies and I learned to recognize him by scent like my mother taught me. Everyone has a unique scent to them and this scent I'm getting definately belongs to him. No one else has this particular scent."
~~~~~
"So how do we know if whether or not someone's been in the caves?" asked Juni, "I don't think I've seen the others today, either. Where are they?"
~~~~~
"I doubt that Radiator Springs will allow him to do this. Is there a way to fight against this?" asked Sapphire.
~~~~~
At the diner, Ebony looked down at the pavement and muttered angrily to herself, "The next time I run into Tony, I'm gonna kill him."

"I believe that they went out went out with Adrian to look for clues about her father," Phoenix said. "She saw some things in the desert."
~~~~~
"Yeah," Kitt nodded. "But the case it might be months before they settle. By that time he could already build his resort. And there's no mention on how much is owed anywhere in these. I might have to go into town to find out more."

"What things?" asked Juni, looking at her aunt the same way she looked at her father when she wanted to know about something important.
~~~~~
"You might have to," agreed Sapphire, "but maybe I can help out on my end and give Dinoco a call. They'd be wanting to know what's up." The stocker and her family were still pretty tight with Dinoco even after 16 years.
