Part 4)
As the three 'lost amigos' enjoyed the shared meal... They talked.
Sara: "Are you not also a Catholic... Mr. Quentin? Not Mexican, I presume?"
Q: "No to both, Sister Sara... But I do believe in the 'possibility' of God: a Creator. I do!"
Susie-Q: "Sara... My friend Quentin and I have been out in the Sun too long. Forgive him."
For some time, they all talked on the question of 'God' and on many other topics besides.
They camped for the night there, as the Sun was setting before too long. Tempus Fugit!

The next morning, they had a pleasant breakfast. 'Q' played along though a bit impatiently.
"Fresh oranges... A miracle. Where'd you get them, Quentin?" piped Sara, excitedly.
Q: "Oh... I have my ways, Sister Sara."
Susie-Q: "Yes, he does. He was my own miracle... When he had found me, a long time ago."
In a nano-second, Susie-Q flashed on the memory of how her adopted brother had once saved Her.
Saved her from some allied minions (vile, nasty creatures) of the 'Ancient Enemy' of the Continuum.
Since that moment Susie was indebted to Him and accepted his offer to apply to membership in the 'Q'.
Soon, as a full-fledged member of the Continuum, she learned how to expand her powers and much more.
"Sister Susannah, You alright? Lost in thoughts of a spiritual nature... or something else?" asked Sister Sara.
Susie-Q: "Just reflecting a bit... On how lucky I am. Our Lord indeed works in many mysterious ways, Sister!"
Sara: "Yes, Susannah... He certainly does!"
All of a sudden... Something or someone comes over the nearby hill. A lone drifter riding on his horse.
