Somewhere in the South Pacific:

Arrianna whistled softly as the island came into view. "Nice house, kiddo. Hope someone's home."

Alan, oblivious to it all, didn't reply.

Picking up her handset she prepared herself for a very bad welcome. "Angel's Wing to Tracy Island, come in."

After a few moments a rich baritone voice answered her. "Tracy Island to Angel's Wing, how can I help you?"

Arrianna stared at her handset shocked for a moment. She had expected threats or something like that, not a kind and welcoming voice. "Uhh, requesting clearance to land."

"Clearance granted. Park her at the end of the runway," came the friendly reply.

Arrianna shook her head not sure what to think now. "10-4 Angel's Wing out."

She guided the plane in for a gentle landing. Taxing to the end she found several people waiting for her and a young man with white blond hair approached the plane.

Gabriel began to growl causing Arrianna to hold up her hands. "Stop, wait please!"

The young man froze looking at her curiously.

Arrianna carefully opened the door on the other side. "Go! Take care of yourself."

When she made a hand gesture the sleek gray wolf bounded down to the runway and after glancing at the people ran down and across the beach before disappearing into the jungle. Arrianna closed the door and looked back at the others. If she hadn't been so worried she would have laughed out loud. They all had their mouths open in shock. Well, except for the young man approaching her plane with an intent expression on his face.

Back Home at Last!

John stepped up to the plane and opened the door. Looking at the young woman for a moment with an unreadable expression, he then looked in the back at his brother and couldn't stop the tears of joy. A strangled gasp caused him to look back at her.

Tears were running down her face. "I'm so sorry, I should have tried to stop this before it happened but I've tried that before and no one would listen. I'm so very sorry…."

She reached out to gently touch his bandaged wrist, sobbing. She didn't realize he had moved until it was too late.
