The next morning, Jamie and Alexander got up and explained to Jan what the two men that mugged Spock and Dr. McCoy looked like and asked if she possibly knew where two people like that would've gone off to.
"Well, there's nothing really anything worth looking at in the city." Jan began.
"So, where do we look," Jamie softly asked; she was still getting comfortable with Jan.
"We'll have to go out of the city and into the country side."
"How long will that take," Alexander questioned.
"Oh…could take a few good days of walking." Jan answered.
"Guess there isn't any other option on the table, so let's do it."
Jan nodded, grabbed her purse, and the three of them left to go to the country side to find Spock and Dr. McCoy.
A few hours had gone by, and Jamie, Alexander, and Jan had finally made it out of the city and now traveling in some forest that would eventually lead them to the country side in what Jan expected to take another three days to get there.
"Which way do we go," Alexander questioned.
"Go south," Jan spoke, pointing in a direction.
Jamie, Alexander, and Jan walked to the south for a while before the came across a huge river.
"We don't have to swim across this, do we?" Alexander asked.
"Afraid so, son," Jan answered.
Jamie gulped; she had swam before, but never across such a vastly thing such as a river. The fact merely terrified her.
"Can't we just make a boat?" Jamie questioned.
"Do you know how to make a boat?" Jan asked.
"…no,"
"Our only option is to swim, then."
Jamie sighed, then nodded.
Jan jumped in first and swam across to the other side of the river. Next was Alexander, and he swam like a little tuna fish, and reached the other side of the ravine. It was Jamie's turn, and she hesitated for several moments, before she finally jumped in.
"Ah…this…is…cold!" Jamie screeched.
"Swim, it gets better," Jan cried.
Jamie swam as fast as she could, desperately trying to get out of the river. She made it to the other side and began shivering, as if she were in the deep depths of Antarctica.
"You'll get warm, when we start walking," Jan answered.
Jamie nodded, still shivering.
Alexander walked besides Jamie and continued to follow Jan farther into the forest.
As the hours went by, it was soon time to stop and take a lunch break. Jamie gathered camp fire wood to make a fire, and Alexander lit it after making several failed attempts to get it going. Jan walked over and sat down on a rock.
"Do any of you know how to hunt for food?" Jan questioned.
Jamie and Alexander looked up in complete befuddlement.
"No," They answered.
"Wait…your phaser, Jamie," Alexander cheered.
"That's only for self defense…and it's not even mine; I stole it from Captain Kirk, after he left to grab something."
"Why would you do that," Jan questioned.
"Because these are my dads, not his; I wanna save them, and I wanna tell them how sorry I am for yelling and screaming at them!" Jamie answered.
"Fair enough answer," Jan replied.
"Are we gonna find them," Jamie questioned, worried.
"Yes, darling…we will," Jan answered, motherly.
Jamie nodded and took a sip of her water bottle that Jan had provided the three of them with.
"I'm starving," Alexander moaned.
Jamie sighed, then looked around for a while before spotting a deer not to far away. Jamie picked up her phaser and pointed it steady at her target. She took in a deep breath then fired, and the deer fell over almost instantly. Alexander walked over and cut out the meat and began cooking it for the three of them.
They had finished eating their lunch and continued walking further and further into the forest. Jamie kept wondering where her dads were, how they were, and if they were okay. These questions almost drove the poor girl mad, but she couldn't help it anymore, if she lost her cool. Her questions would eventually be answered, and she would eventually find her dads…hopefully.
