Moving On Part 1

"Is that the reason why those three bandits paid the Sundance clan to kidnap your sister and her friend?" Connor asked Rafael.

"It must be." Rafael guessed.

Elle started Arabella walking.

"But these two haven't had their trials yet." Elle observed.

"Carmen and I will have our trials when we grow up a bit more." Anya said, she was riding on Lady Louise's back, hanging onto Lisa.

"Thanks for the rescue, big brother." Carmen said to Rafael, she was holding onto him while on Diablo's back.

"No problem," Rafael said. "you and I are family, and family means nobody gets left behind."

Upon arrival at the secret lounge, Rafael's black eye was being treated by Connor.

Rafael stayed as still as he possibly could.

"There, Rafael," Connor said. "your right eye is as good as new."

"Thank you, Connor," Rafael said. "now, my mom and dad won't know I'd been doing some dangerous fighting."

Lisa looked at her watch.

"Oh my gosh!" Lisa exclaimed.

"What is it, Lisa?" Rafael asked.

"It's getting late," Lisa replied to Rafael. "we had better be getting you, Carmen, and Anya back to your camp!"

Upon arrival at the Moondance camp, Solano and Tina Talero, Anya's adoptive parents hugged her.

"Anya! Our precious one! You're safe!" Tina exclaimed.

"Your mother and I thought we would never see you again!" Solano agreed.
