Another bad guy grabs <strong>Anza</strong> and drags him into the cave.<br />
He struggles and resists with Shaolin Kungfu moves, but<br />
the bad guy is too big and smacks him hard. <strong>Anza</strong> falls to<br />
the ground and crawls away into the darkness of the cave<br />
opening.<br />
"Tie the horse to that tree."<br />
"What about the other kid?"<br />
"Leave her."<br />

We return our sights to the Stellar Monitor and the Residence<br />
of the Most High where Anon is watching the Cosmos<br />
Comprehender in dismay with two Grey Forms standing<br />
at his left side. With a sigh and a sad voice, he utters a<br />
solemn command. "Summon Nous."<br />

Duo prompts the Stellar Monitor back to Earth as Thunder<br />
races down the road toward the <strong>Qi</strong> Farm coming to a<br />
stop near the old barn. A farmhand lassoes him and leads<br />
the unwilling horse toward the corral.<br />
Phir is looking out the kitchen window at the riderless<br />
horse with a worried look as he talks on his mobile phone.<br />
He walks out of the house and motions for the farmhand<br />
to stop as he inspects the horse. Intuitively he knows the<br />
horse is the counterpart to 'Runs like the Wind'. "I'll call<br />
you back," he tells the mobile phone.<br />
Phir is concerned about <strong>Anza</strong>, and runs into the old barn.<br />
The Owl atop the house eave has been watching Thunder's<br />
arrival, morphs into the Raven, flies in after Phir and<br />
perches up in the rafters. The Black Raccoon is watching<br />
the activity from behind a hay bale.<br />
Phir looks around and sees Carl Drinkwater.
