>Naomi held Alyne in her lap, stroking the tiny child's hair as she
comforted her as best she could.  Lars looked at her solemnly when she
promised that they would find Greta, but he relaxed slightly and wiped his
tears away at her assurance that she believed him   

>She'd just finished explaining the situation to S'ran when Meena and H'tor
entered the room.   Her heart lurched in her chest as she  looked at H'tor,
and a smile trembled on her lips for a few seconds before she was once
again all seriousness.

Meena walked into Jeryn's apartments followed by H'tor. Tears began running
down Lars' face as he ran to wrap his arms around her legs. "Aunt Meena .."
he whispered, still fighting back any tears. She picked him up and looked
at Naomi.

"We have a slight problem." Naomi said.

Jeryn walked in just as Naomi stated to speak. "Excuse me, Naomi, but I
though perhaps Lars and Alyne would like a sweet." Alyne peeked up from
Naomi's chest and nodded sadly. Lars too nodded. "Then come with me, I've
got some in the other room."

"Uncle," Naomi called, "No out of the apartment .."

He grinned at Naomi, "Of course not."

She smiled back, knowing she could count on him to keep the children safe
and their presence a secret. As he led the children out of the main room
and into the kitchen Naomi turned to the two dragonriders.

"Where's Greta?" Meena asked.

"I don't know." Naomi said, "Uncle found the children hiding in the back
tunnels. He took them home and found Greta's apartment trashed."

>She quickly explained the events to them both before she looked around at
the group and asked for suggestions.....

Meena explained what T'grat had said before Garnet's mating flight. Meena
couldn't help but feel that she should have done something. "Naomi, if I'd
know she was in danger right now .."

"Meena, it's not your fault." Naomi said gently.

"But T'grat warned us. He knew about L'gan. And about Megandra's guard,
Timone. I just didn't think .."

"We should question Timone," said H'tor.

"We don't know that he's involved in this. It was simply speculation on
T'grat's part," S'ran reminded him. "We can't start questioning the
landbound .. Harkon isn't fond of us right now as it is."

Meena nodded, "S'ran's right. My father will not take kindly to having one
of his own suspected of something like this. Maybe we should start with
L'gan."

"You won't find him." H'tor said simply.

"What do you mean?" asked Naomi.

"The Rogue is the most familiar with Norwall. He can get in and out easily
and without being seen. Greta will be with him. We need Timone to find them."

The others had to agree H'tor's logic made sense. Naomi nodded, "All right,
I'll go and talk to Harkon and explain .."

"This is not the time for diplomacy. Greta's life is at stack."

Regards,
Meena & Vonn
