Scene Two (Racing to Save Sarek)
"What's wrong?" Erin spoke as she saw not only Colleen standing at her door, but Dolly, Lori and her sister as well. "What are you all doing here at once?" This could not be good; they'd all agreed it would not be wise to be seen together very often. And here it was daylight; the sky's sun was hid by no clouds and Roni-another friend- was stretching his legs lazily as he walked by. The middle of the day and one person might not be so bad, but Oso, Roni's pet monkey, who'd been given the Spanish name for bear, chattered as he leaped onto Roni's shoulder. That chattering simply grated on Erin's nerves.
"We talked to Terrance." That name put Erin on alert as he'd been around longer than anyone she'd ever met. "He said to tell you he has a group of people hidden in the caves and is sure he can get them back to where they need to be without Roger finding out. But you can't go there first."
"Why not?" Erin asked as the sound of more than one bird could be heard flying by.
"I passed by the judgment hall." Dolly's words snapped Erin's attention away from Oso ; no one had used that place in years.
"What's going on?" Erin automatically got into a fighting stance.
"They have Sarek." It's all Dolly could do from keeping her face from matching the pillow case on her bed. "Need I say more?"
"No!" Erin shouts as she begins running down the dirt path leading away from her parent's home. Thankfully, they passed away years ago so there is no need to explain her actions.
Entry three: The road I take would have tripped a less experienced runner, or a non-native. It's potholes and curves would be too unpredictable to them. I'm taking my chances as it is. I have not had to bolt down the hill for any life and death emergency for quite a few years... and the last time I did I was barely legal. Legal, ugh that word I'd love to shove down Roger's throat. I am sure he is using some stupid, insane, law to have trapped Sarek into staying past the agreed time in the treaty. If you try to tell me different, I'd say your head is screwed on too tight.
Anna saw Erin running, but thought nothing of it. Her cousin was always training for a marathon of some sort or another. So, her racing by as if her heels were on fire was chalked up to nothing more than yet another day of preparation. If her Aunt had not passed on, and if she'd been asked, the lady could have told her niece that Erin would have started making mental notes to write down later in her journal as soon as she'd started running. The woman would have added Erin would not ever stop as time went on. But since Erin's mother was no longer among them, and since she'd not been asked while still living , Anna had no idea her aunt would have hit the nail on the head.
Entry four: I'd seen my cousin outside her house, didn't have to be told what conclusion she'd have come to and focused on getting to the Judgment Hall. The hall's nothing but an open field with a hangman's noose for unfortunate souls who make Roger mad over the stupidest things. I must get there in time to save Sarek.
