Marcus gripped his Minbari fighting pike tightly as he strode hurriedly through the resort. Somewhere in this place Tonks was a prisoner, and Marcus was willing to bet she wasn't happy about it. As he raced to find her, he wondered to himself why he was in such a hurry, since it always seemed as though her magic made her more capable than he. Something about the way she had screamed, though, had sunk deep into Marcus. He knew that she would not have screamed that way if she had had any confidence in her own ability to repel her attackers.

That morning, the Ranger had been meditating on a bluff overlooking the resort. In the early light the ruddy earth had smelled good, and his mind had been quite clear when the shriek of his abducted friend had come up to him on the morning breeze. His calm state shattered, Marcus had leapt to his feet and raced down through the vineyard. The voice had sounded like it was coming from the vicinity of the dorms, so he ran there first. Finding no trace of either the witch or a struggle, he had wracked his brain attempting to deduce whither she might have been taken. Not coming up with anything obvious, he had realized that all his guesses came to the same end. He couldn't figure out where she was unless he figured out who had taken her. Since he had had no clues to the solution of either mystery, Marcus had decided the only thing to do was to search the entire resort. If nothing else, he was likely to find both Tonks and her abductor in the same place.

So it was that the Ranger found himself rushing about madly, desperately opening doors and crossing rooms. He considered it unlikely that the kidnapper's hideout would be in the wilderness beyond the resort's environs; therefore, the first place to look was in the resort buildings themselves. He had already been to the dining hall and the pool with no luck.

“It is an honor to meet you Good Officer Marcus Cole”, Anakin took the Ranger’s hand and shook it firmly, “I believe your friend’s predicament is but one incident causing a disturbance in The Force”, his face darkened, “I sense a great evil at work”.

As they were talking another joined their ranks…it was a woman, apparently a law officer, another world apart from Good Officer Cole. She produced an identifying credential, which he glanced at briefly, but really meant nothing to him. He nodded respectively at her after Marcus had spoken to her and introduced himself, “Detective Inspector Alex Drake, It’s an honor. I’m Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight”.

Turning to the Ranger, Anakin asked, “So, tell us anything about your friend we should know and where you have already looked, sir. I’m assuming you are looking inside for a reason?”, he looked expectantly into the man’s eyes, “…usually a person who abducts another takes them far away from where they were originally abducted…sooooo, you are looking in this building for a good reason…”, he paused and waited for the Ranger to speak.
