The two old busses packed with people hummed with lively chatter. After such a long journey, everyone was forced to accommodate to jetlag, however it would have been much worse if Sora hadn't forced everyone to sleep during the long flight. Still, many moaned and groaned from exhaustion. The famous and deadly heat was rapidly increasing on this sunny African day, plus not to mention, those old plastic chairs also weren't very comfortable.

But everyone had to bear it, seeing as how Sora was fully awake. Everyone was astounded at how focused Sora was because they hadn't seen her like this in a long while. When she was practicing for complex acrobatic feats, she was similarly focused with the same look on her face. Those who had known Sora for some time knew what this meant- she would not back down from the task at hand no matter what.

Coincidentally, this was exactly what the Japanese was thinking as she silently looked out into the beautiful landscape. Somewhere out there … she thought, was Layla.

Sora was tempted to believe that this whole thing had been an elaborate orchestration by the blonde herself. Sora smiled to herself imagining her former idol idly waiting to be found somewhere out there and giving her that approving smile that her expectations had been met. But Sora's scenario soon crumbled. This wasn't about her or about getting praise from Layla, it was a real dangerous situation which she had to face up to.

Her focus shifted as the bus driver, who didn't speak any English, tried to hint that they had arrived. Sora stood up and went next to the driver, catching a glimpse of the village they were approaching. Some of the houses looked surprisingly normal, not the huts and shelters she had imagined, and in the middle stood a proud flagpole with a tattered flag.

Sora's tension started to rise as the journey till now had been just that, a trip, but now finally they were going to start searching for someone who didn't just mean a lot to her, but too many other people as well.

The busses stopped and everyone stepped outside to stretch their cramped limbs and shake off the numbness of sitting for hours; it was even hotter outside then in the tin can with wheels they had just rode in. Sora hardly shed a drop of sweat and quickly made her way to a Caucasian male she spotted in an odd mixture of light clothes standing in front of the flagpole, apparently waiting. Sora hoped that this was their contact as any delays wasted precious time.

"Wesley Patrick?" Sora asked prompting the man to turn around.

"I am Wesley Patrick, nice to mee- My God!" the man said, apparently taken aback.

Sora looked at the man with some confusion. "Is there a problem?"

"You are the help Mr. Hamilton sent?"

Sora felt irritated at the incredulous look the man gave her.

"Yes I am S-"

"Sora Naegino!" the man cut her off rudely. "Odette herself! Unbelievable, one star comes to help the other. You must excuse me, Ms. Naegino, but I'm so glad you were the one to come to Layla's help."

Sora's expression turned pleasant, and feeling encouraged by those words, she gave a small smile.

"Who knows what clueless berk might have come!" Wesley continued, happy seeing that finally things could get started. "But just to think that I meet not one, but two famous acrobats here out in the vast African plains. I have to say miss, that I am a big fan of you and Layla. I mean, I literally smacked my gob when I saw you two do that legendary stunt."

"So, where to from here?" Sora asked getting slightly impatient.

"The drivers just arrived and I have another old jeep you can use. We enlisted the help of three men from the local villages who were willing to help and are decent trackers who know the area. One jeep needs a driver though, but the others will lead you to old Paddy's place."

"Good."

"Someone will have to stay behind and help me with supplies and pay the local merchants, also change-pay those two bus-drivers. Also did you convert some money into the local currency?"

"I did. Then, this is all we have to do here?"

"I think so. I can be contacted from Paddy's if you need me."

"Everything is set then. Ken, Come over here for a minute." Sora commanded swiftly, as the boy came to her side.

"Ken, Wesley. Wesley, Ken."

"Nice to meet you."

"Likewise."

"Ken, I need you to stay here and handle supplies with Wesley. Then come join us at camp once you're done."

"No problem, right boy?" Wesley said confidently, not wanting his concern to show. "I'll have someone drive him and the supplies to you."

"I'll do my best," Ken simply added knowing that was exactly what Sora wanted to hear. In turn she responded with a smile and a nod before heading off.

Sora however stopped before resuming her journey to get to know each of the three people provided by Wesley. They were all locals, friendly and motivated to do their best, not for money, but for Layla. She approached them without hesitation, but they hardly spoke a word of English. One of them knew a bit of French, however.

She was able to greet them, show her appreciation and exchange names with them. After the introductions were done, one of them handed her keys to the unmanned jeep. She called to Vince, knowing he was more than capable of driving the jeep. And so they set off in the quite large convoy of two busses and five smaller vehicles. For such a barren landscape, this was quite a force that had been rallied.

Sora remained with Vince in the jeep, but before leaving she waved to Wesley and shouted, "Thank you for your help."

"Don't mention it!"

Then Sora remembered, "Nice poster by the way!"

It was only then that Ken turned around and saw the billboard at the base of the flagpole with a movie poster whose main actress was unmistakable. To see Layla here of all places was so absurd, that Ken was left speechless for a few moments, trying to piece together just what was going on here.

Sora, who was now feeling the refreshing gust of wind riding in the jeep, had been glad to see that sign. She took it like the first in a series of breadcrumbs that would ultimately lead to Layla.

As two metal structures came into view, Sora saw that the terrain had become increasingly bumpy and difficult to maneuver. This would surely slow their progress down, something they needed to compensate with excellent organization.

They pulled up, and Sora saw a local young man waiting for them. Sora was in an unfamiliar place, but she was sure that this wasn't the old guide name Paddy. This was the right place though, as indicated by a sign and Sora told everyone to get out of the bus before approaching the man.

Thulani on the other hand approached them quite anxiously, unsure as to whom they were. "Excuse me, but tours are closed for the moment."

Sora automatically replied, "We came here to help with the search."

"You are the help?" Thulani asked, curiously leaning to see past Sora, and seeing that most of the people which had exited the busses where quite young, especially one little red-haired girl.

"Yes, is there a problem?" the Kaleido Star replied expecting skepticism.

Still looking past her, the man answered dumbfounded, "I was expecting something else."

"We are ready to give our best for Layla."

"It's not that I don't believe you miss, but Paddy will have a harder time accepting your help."

"I assure you we are perfectly suited for any conditions. Almost everyone here is an acrobat from the Kaleido Stage and perfectly fit."

"Kaleido-huh what? You're from the Kaleido Stage?"

"Yes, we all are."

"Wait a minute, if they are from Kaleido Stage, are you Sora Naegino?"

Sora nodded.

"What?! I thought you reminded me of someone, but I wouldn't have imagined you being Ms. Naegino."

She took offense before he could reconsider his words, and folded her arms.

"Why not?"

"You seem a lot more serious than I had thought."

Sora sighed. "We're not here on vacation, this is an emergency. So where can I find Paddy?"

"He went out to search by himself while help arrives. He's been out since the early dawn and-" Thulani stopped, feeling an odd breeze sweeping the planes with a taste and fragrance he knew. "So this is what he meant."

"Who did?" Sora inquired curious now at the man stopping mid sentence.

"Oh, excuse me, it's just that I noticed that the rainy season is due."

"Is that important?"

"Yes. When it rains out here it pours, and if we want to have any chance of tracking Ms. Hamilton, we have to cover as much ground before the intense rains. If we don't find her till then, we will have to search the entire region foot by foot."

"That's bad."

"Yeah, but don't worry. I see you brought trackers and vehicles."

"Before Paddy arrives, is there something I should know about him?" Sora inquired.

"Well there isn't much to say. He's likes to think himself as the 'brazen fearless adventurer', but he's quite an admirable man who knows his way around the world. Oh and also be warned-"

Just then, a Jeep appeared out of the dry grass plains, and quickly made its way to them. Thulani hastily finished his warning. "He's very stubborn. Don't anger him."

Sora braced herself for this Paddy, seeing the quite large man getting out of his vehicle. He walked right past them towards the larger crowd, yelling.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here! Tours are closed."

Everyone was a bit shaken by this aggressive behavior and stood there for a minute not knowing how to react at this angry man.

"They are the help that was sent!" Thulani tried to intervene before the old grumpy guide had a chance to yell again, but he still did.

"What? Are you kidding me? What am I supposed to do with a bunch of kids?"

"We are up to the task at hand." Sora said with confidence, walking up to him. The height difference was notable, but she was keeping her ground. This kind of disrespect showed to her friends was enough for her to lose her nervousness.

"And who the blazing hell are you?"

"My name is Sora N-"

"Yes, yes," he cut her off impatiently, "look girly, I don't have time to baby-sit you and your friends."

The three local men were watching the confrontation between Sora and the grumpy Paddy with amusement. While, on the other hand, the performers looked on in fear and hoped Sora wouldn't be sent home in a box.

"These people here came willingly to do their best. I chose each of them knowing they were suited for the task. If you have something against the choice I made, then feel free to direct that criticism towards me."

Instead of a reply, Paddy walked around and between the Kaleido Stage performers, with a look of disappointment.

"Do you honestly think that kids like you could survive in a place like this? I already have enough to deal with."

Sora stopped trying to respond, feeling a hint of responsibility and guilt in that statement. The old man on the other hand, took her silence as a lack of a counterargument and continued to dissuade them.

"I thought I made myself clear: that we needed reliable people, not some teenagers …" He passed next to Rosetta and looked down at her "… or kids."

"Can you assure me you are up for the task at hand?" Paddy asked Sora who was behind him.

He had come by May and inspected the dog-tags around her neck, picking them up to get a better look. He frowned in disgust, but May was quick to grab hold of the man's hand with her own smaller one.

She stood there for a minute applying a press that would have made a vice blush wanting to show him that there was more strength to her. Finally, she freed her precious tags and shoved the man's hand away.

Paddy looked at the Chinese girl's determined face, and saw that in that smaller frame, was hidden more strength than he anticipated. The others also looked physically apt, not muscular, but still fit. He had effectively calmed down and was starting to reconsider his position.

Sora took that opportunity to make up his mind and walked next to him. She addressed her fellow performers with conviction.

"It seems we are not being taken seriously here. Let's show this man what we are capable of. Line up and start with some push-ups."

Obediently, everyone lined up quickly and properly assumed the push-up resting position. She ordered them to begin. The hot sand was even hotter as they reached the ground during the low point of the exercise, but this is something they did every day aside from their stretches. Their pride as performers would not let some ignorant stranger run his mouth.

Sora counted off each push-up. "Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and thirty. Now with only your left arm. One, two, three, four, five …"

Paddy looked at them closely; they were indeed very capable athletes, even the small red-haired one who was a bit out sync because she was going too fast.

After they finished, Paddy was almost convinced Sora had made the right choice. In the end, he was forced to eat his own words. "Your choice might not have been as bad as I thought it to be. What did you say your name was?"

"Sora Naegino."

Paddy raised an eyebrow while he shook her hand, wondering where he had heard that name before, when Thulani jumped in. "She is, or was Layla's greatest partner and now the top star of the Kaleido Stage."

"I see," Paddy mumbled. "Miss, I'll be honest, your help might and I repeat- might- make all the difference, but are you sure the people you have brought can endure these harsh conditions for a prolonged period of time and that you can keep them in line for just as long?"

"I can assure you of that. But we should get going, time is short, apparently."

"Ah, yes. Layla chose a bad time to get lost. But I guess extreme conditions is where you'd expect her to end up."

Sora didn't know what to say. Hearing him say her first name so easily and respectfully meant that the blond must have left her strong mark even with this stubborn man.

"So what are we going to do?" asked Thulani breaking the silence.

"I thought that it would be a good idea to split the group into two separate shifts: one night shift and one day shift each assigned to one tracker. If Thulani also joins, we would have each one of your people and two of my people at any given time out in the field. That would make a total of five vehicles each with three pairs of eyes. Those who are not participating in the search will deal with supplies and maintaining the camp. Any objections?" asked Sora, daring anyone to come up with something better.

Paddy found nothing objectionable "I think I can have everyone lodged if we do it in two shifts on twelve hours. There are some old bunk beds lying around here. The problem is, I do not have any working night-equipment."

"One of my people is working with Wesley on any kind of issues that might arise. By nightfall we will probably have something to work with." Sora added.

Paddy looked at the performers around him.

"I will have to instruct them on some basic things and give a crude way of communicating with the assigned tracker."

"Alright, let's get started," said Sora, eager to get started.

Until about two in the afternoon, Paddy held a quick course on what they should look out for, and taught them some basic African words so they could work well with their tracker. He instructed them to tread lightly in such a dangerous land. After everything was taught, everyone gathered around for final instructions.

"Now who will go on the first shift? asked Sora. "It will be a shorter one, so anyone who honestly feels like he didn't get enough sleep on the way here, should take this opportunity now. So who will it be?"

After some discussion, Sora organized them and split them up. Thulani lead them into one of the two cylindrical structures. "Follow me please to get some equipment."

Maps were found and distributed to the trackers. Every last water bottle and worn down pair of binoculars was dug up until a replacement could be found, but they still were running short.

It was up to Ken to deal with this problem until the first shift was over. Hopefully Layla was found before then, but no one allowed themselves to slip into fuzzy optimism. On this first sweep, those who could drive were taken so they could learn how to effectively search for someone in this huge landscape.

Until more trackers could be found, they needed to distribute their human resources well. Sora decided to take the load of one of the more tired members and take the night shift, as much as going out was itching her.

Some areas of the map were crossed out since they had been searched by Paddy already. It was quite an impressive stretch of land he had covered, but mainly they were routes to other nearby or distant villages, should Layla have taken such a route.

All Sora could do now was wait until word came back to her, or until the next shift began. Time passed painfully slow, and she along with the others tidied up everything in their base. It was a mess but there was nothing else to do, besides organization was key. The only thing Sora could do to keep her mind off of things was to figure out why May and Rosetta had insisted to go with Paddy. Rosetta perhaps had been tired out by the flight, or maybe May wanted to prove something to the man as soon as she could after their first tense meeting. Hopefully they wouldn't drift far from their main objective.

As the sun was starting to set, Ken called in to announce that they were almost finished, and if they needed any extra equipment. Sora didn't know where to begin but most of what she mentioned, Ken had found although in small number. Nonetheless it was still improving their odds.

Not too long after, Wesley and Ken arrived. Sora was waiting to help unpack everything.

"Nice. These will come in helpful," She said to Ken carrying a crate full of supplies.

"I'm sorry we couldn't find more," he replied unloading another crate.

"We will have to search other villages tomorrow," Wesley added, while taking note of what had been brought. "We can't cripple other villages buying too much from them. They already are living on the edge."

"I understand," Sora replied getting the last crate.

"You should have seen your boy here. It's like he was made for bartering."

"My name is Ken." The blonde replied offended.

"Now now, don't get cocky, boy." Wesley continued to joke.

"Well you two seem to get along," Said Sora with an amused smile.

Ken sighed, but was content to just see Sora smile.

Meanwhile in the wilderness a different kind of bonding was taking place. May and Rosetta had been carefully listening to what Paddy had to say whilst maintaining a full panoramic coverage of the surrounding scrub.

At every chance, May questioned the man whether his methods were efficient enough, and so they argued. But they did so in a very strange way because they still maintained their lookout position- so they fought without looking at each other. All Rosetta could do was wait till they ran out of things to fight over, but by the looks of it, they were still going to be at it for another few hours.

However, just as she could take no more, something had jumped into Rosetta's field of vision. At first she thought it was the haze from the heat, but she realized it wasn't.

"Stop!" she shouted to Paddy.

Paddy immediately slammed the brakes, almost throwing May out of the jeep and asked,"What? WHAT?"

"Over there, by that log! That's the kind of thing you told us we should be looking for."

"Oh you kids, that was probably a wildebeest or something similar," he gruffed, not paying any attention to Rosetta.

"Look at it closely. Like something rolled down there. What's over there? A river?" Rosetta asked putting away her binoculars to check the map.

"Yes, there's a river that flows south, but it's dry this time of the year." Paddy replied looking through his own binoculars. He was stunned for a moment, then started the car up in a split second. "I think you're right."

Driving like a madman to the log, he stopped the car and got out to inspect the scene. Too much soil had been shifted for it to be an animal, not that any animal would purposely roll into a dry riverbed. But the lack of rain had preserved very strong imprints on the river edge and even on the riverbed. This was definitely significant and after few hums Paddy reached a conclusion.

"These treads are small and head south of camp and down river. She might have driven along this river."

"Why would Layla do such a thing?"

"I think she found it convenient. I'm pretty sure it was her. That log seems to have been scraped as well."

"Are you sure?" asked Rosetta.

"I'm sure. I have yet to see such marks made by vehicles. No one does tours along the river or in this area as far as I know."

Paddy looked at the marks one more time and climbed out of the river to mark the spot on the map looking around for hints and checking his compass.

"Ok, let's head back to camp."

"WHAT!?" Rosetta and May exclaimed in unison.

"We've finally found something and you want us to go back?" May continued yelling, unable to believe that Paddy would stop just as they were getting somewhere.

"It's already late. I don't have any equipment for a night search and if we go further, we won't have enough gas to return back to camp, and then we'd be stranded ourselves."

Rosetta and May both calmed down not having any reasonable arguments, and got in the jeep.

"Now, if you ladies from now on, would like to tell me how to do my job I'd appreciate it if you would shut it," Paddy said rudely.

"If we had listened to you, we wouldn't have found those marks," defended Rosetta leaving the man to eat his own words.

"She got you there old man," May added whilst Paddy just grumbled.

On the way back things calmed down. The heat was starting to dissipate and a crimson sun was setting down to their right as they drove back to camp. It was an odd silence, one that had not graced the three strong tempers.

Paddy, of course decided to break the peaceful silence. "So why did you so desperately want to group up with me?" he asked May who had been the one to insist.

"I'd like to know that too." Rosetta added.

"Did you really have to prove yourself to me?"

"Well, I could say that you are probably the best tracker, and Rosetta being the youngest would have handicapped the group she was in …" explained May.Rosetta frowned and she noticed.

"But that's not true now is it?" May smirked, "I just wanted to knock that chip off your shoulder."

Paddy laughed. "Kids these days. By the way, now that we cleared that up- what is it with those dog tags you're wearing?"

"What? Did you think they are some sort of fashion statement? My grandfather and his cousin died on the battlefield."

Rosetta already knew the story, having asked the same question herself, and also knew how precious the relics were to May.

"Oh, I didn't expect that. Which war were they in?"

"The Vietnam War."

"What? Let me see those."

May hesitated for a second but then handed them over, her hand still holding them by the chain. Paddy tried to read them carefully while still driving the car with one hand and holding the tags with the other hand to the reddish light of the setting sun.

The old man almost dropped his jaw in surprise. "You're a Wong?"

"Yeah, what of it?" May said pulling the tags out of his hand.

"You're Lu's granddaughter?

"Lu?" Rosetta asked.

"Yeah that was grandfather's name."

"Master Sergeant Lu Wong?"

"Yeah, I think that was his rank. Do you know him?"

"Know him? He was my superior, role model and worst nightmare."

"Don't be such a baby. What, did he torture you or something?"

"He was my senior officer, of course he tortured me! But he was still a good man, if not the best man. Unlike others his rank, he never just ordered people around. He was in the field there just as much as the privates and never shied away to prove that he was in top form. What was interesting about him was especially in the Vietnam war, he was looked at suspiciously, for being Chinese and fighting the Chinese amongst others in that conflict."

A silence settled for a while leaving May to reflect what she had just heard. She knew her grandfather was honored in her family as a hero and the one who was brazen enough to lead his family to America at the time and enlist in the U.S Army to prove his citizenship.

No one had expected the now deceased man to take such a liking to the army. May found this new information very interesting. No one in her family had any real idea what her grandfather had really done, and only knew what they had been told by officials.

May wanted to ask him some more but stopped as they were approaching the camp. There would be another time for restoring the memory of Lu Wong, but now more pressing matters were at hand. Rosetta was especially keen to get back to camp since their discoveries were seemingly significant.

Sora looked sternly at the group, tapping her wristwatch indicating they had taken too long. "You're late."

"For a reason," said May sharing a sense of victory with Paddy and Rosetta.

"Where are the others?" Paddy asked entering the room and seeing the other guides and several others from the Kaleido Stage staring at a big map while discussion went on. "Found anything?"

Everyone looked at each other disappointed. Mia and Anna who had kept a close eye on what the guides had scribbled on the maps had transferred the information to the larger map and gave him a quick report.

Mia adjusted her glasses and began. "Group two ran across a herd of elephants and later a group of solitary male elephants. The driver told me it was important, so I noted it.

Group 3 ran into problems with fuel and had to cut half of their searching area, Vince has since fixed that. Group 4 ran into guides from other camps that didn't see anyone lost, but they checked themselves to make sure. Group 5 reported a group of buffalos, and two herds of gazelles, one considerably bigger than the other one. No group has yet seen any sign of the missing vehicle or Layla."

Anna nodded, silently going over the information. "Me, Ken and Vince took care of fitting the cars with some night equipment, but we are running short on those. Ken will try to get more tomorrow. Everyone who is going to take the night shift has already eaten. No injuries, but some scratches from the scrub," sheadded.

"Is that all?" said the old guide looking at the map piecing together the information he had received. The movements of the elephants and the distance to other grazers were normal.

"Yes," Mia answered, also looking at the information they had gathered. "This doesn't look good."

Paddy glanced at the worried girls, and gave Mia a disbelieving look, silently asking her to prove her assumption.

"Considering we've done a full 360 degree search this next shift will have a smaller search area. Add to that the times to travel back and forth and by the same time tomorrow after another 2 shifts the active search area will have be a fourth of what we had covered today," sheexplained.

"You think too much." Paddy said bluntly, taking the pen from her hand and marked a spot on the map checking his own to make sure.

Sora who had just finished making sure May and Rosette were alright, spotted the victorious expression and rushed to see what Paddy had to say since the two girls wanted her to hear it from the guide himself.

"What's there?" she asked eagerly.

"I think this is where Layla came to at one point."

All chatter ceased at once. May, who was leaning with her arms crossed in the frame of the door, just smirked.

"What have you found there? Tell me!" Sora almost yelled in alarm.

"There were very strange trails there leading upriver. I believe they were made by her."

That was just what Sora was suspecting, seeing the pleased look in his eyes, but even if she had suspected it, the tremor she felt was just as strong.

"Are you sure only she could have made those trails and that they belonged to her?"

"Yes. No one here locally uses the rivers as a shortcut since there are other shorter paths. None of the other tourist agencies would drive through there with customers. The marks I found were also too specific to have been an animal known to me. Unless there is someone else alone out there, I'm sure this is the general direction in which she went. Kudos go to the kid over there for spotting it." Paddy said, throwing his thumb behind him.

Rosetta pouted at being labeled a child, but blushed as she caught everyone else's thanking eyes and applause.

"Perfect!" Mia exclaimed. "This lucky break cuts the area we need to search more than in half and gives us a new starting point."

"On the other hand," Paddy interrupted, "after just one day we'll again be in a pinch. Not to mention the rainy season is going to start soon. Hopefully we can find her till then. Considering she went missing almost a day before we started searching, we must speed up to catch up with her."

"That is if she's still driving," Sora said, realizing that both options had a catch. If Layla was still moving, the search would be prolonged. If she were not on the move, they could find her faster, but then again, if she did stop for some reason- it would mean something had happened to her.

"However, after we cover the plains - if she got there- there are some areas which are constantly monitored: wild life reserves, indigenous villages and such."

"Then let us not waste any more time."

Finally, it was Sora's turn to jump into action and get her hands dirty. Before leaving, the Kaleido Star or in this case the Kaleido 'leader', patted Rosetta on the head, not just asking forgiveness for not trusting her in the first place, but in appreciation with her help thus far.

To Rosetta the small gesture had been so short it threw her off for a bit.

The cars were refueled, and the night shift groups were assembled. Sora opted to go with Paddy.She took with her some thick sweaters, a bit of nourishment and a flashlight. She knew this shift would be more difficult and a lot more dangerous in the dead of night, but that is the very reason why she had wanted to take part in them.

The last thing before she departed was to remind everyone to sleep well while they were gone. The performers were going to need all the rest they could get in preparation for the next days.

With the night now taking over, Sora and the others set out in a convoy. Paddy insisted on driving the Jeep, so Sora sat in the passenger seat with Anna and Mia in the backseats.

In the other groups, the guides left the driving to the others so they could focus all their expertise in searching with the lights that they had acquired. On the other hand they were also the most tired members of this operation, and could not be strained for much longer.

Rosetta's find would be the starting point for a new, narrower search, but even so they couldn't be too hopeful. A night search meant they had to double check everything and be careful of any wild animals. But Sora was more than determined, and the only thing that would stop her was success. She would not fail in her search for Layla.
