Pyunther moved among the tall blades of grass paying attention to the surface beneath him for traps, snakes, bear cubs, or seemingly blending in fawns sleeping during the storm. The sound of shouting was distinctive enough to stand out against the wind, the rain, and the thunder that had turned into a distant rumble. The wind was losing strength so it was easier to walk through the rain. There were still some difficulty when he strayed off the path if only briefly from the grass to the muddy road. He tripped over a few large boulders. His face was caked by mud. Pyunther cleaned his face off with a large but wide leaf then dropped it to the dirt. And repeated falling to the mud.
Eventually, Pyunther came to a halt at a gap of trees.
He hid among the tall trees observing Tee Gar holding on to a kite that was still flying in the air.
"That boy," Pyunther said. "Knows full well what he is doing. Intelligent grandson with the wrong morals."
Another figure was in the center of the tree shouting at a half broken screen that was sizzling and had a blurry figure. The space invaders were informing them that their planet was for the taking. That it was going to be very easy. Which it wasn't on Puyunther's watch. His blood boiled against his skin building up with the fury at one fact. A member of his community, someone well known and regarded, had just betrayed his civilization.
Pyunther took out the phone then pressed the button as instructed by Nikola and placed the top half of the phone against his ear.
"They are making contact with the mothership," Pyunther said.
"Get the boy," Nikola said. "We will catch the space savage."
"Alright," Pyunther said. "What do I do next?"
"Throw the phone away," then Nikola added. "Now."
Pyunther tossed aside the phone then walked on toward the child until coming by his side.
"Hello Tee Gar," Pyunther placed a hand on Tee Gar's shoulder. Tee Gar turned away from the kite with big eyes. "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?"
"LILLLLLLLLLLLLLLY!" Tee Gar screamed, turning away from Pyunther. "Run!"
Lilly looked over from the television set then looked on toward Pyunther and Tee Gar.
"Oh no," Lilly said.
"RUN!" Tee Gar let go of the kite's handle.
Lilly leaped out from the tree then fled the scene.
"You are going to stay here and get questioned for betraying your planet," Pyunther said.
