Solo speaks, “How’d we get here?”
Duo speaks with a finger to his lips, “Quiet, they might
hear.”
Qingling looks around, and asks, “Who said that?”
Phir Qi looks around with a quizzical frown and whispers
to Anza, “We’ve got some interlopers.”
Anza looks around uncertain as to what he is looking for
and shrugs his shoulders, “Inter what?”
Phir searches the barn with suspicious eyes spotting the
raven perched in the rafters, “This is not good. Come
along," he turns and leaves the barn with the kids obediently
behind. They go into the country style kitchen,
“There are homemade cookies on the counter, anybody
hungry?”
The petite Qingling tosses her pink-banded straw cowgirl
hat onto the seat of a kitchen chair revealing her waist
length pigtail black hair with bangs as she darts to the refrigerator,
“I'll get the milk.”
Phir unconsciously stares out the kitchen window at the
old barn. A concerned look fills his ageless Chinese face as
he realizes the time has come to pass his legacy on to Anza,
and educate him in the way of the Chronicle of Unchangeable
Changes.
He turns to the kids sitting at the table and looks at
Qingling, “You should get on home. Your parents will be
worried. I'll have Nigel bring your horse around,” he talks
into his cell phone, “Bring Q's horse around.”
Qingling looks up, “Okay, but?”
“No buts, off with you.”
