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.

Anakin listened carefully to every word and nodded when spoken to…these people were both his elders and he would prove to Obi Wan, should he some how ever know, that he could listen and be patient with his elders.

Nodding his head to the female Law Officer, Anakin replied respectfully, “I must apologize to you, Detective Inspector Drake…”, he turned to Marcus, “…and you, Good Officer Cole. I was not careful or precise with my words. It’s important in a situation like this to be exact. ‘Faraway’ is where kidnappers take their victims normally. I realize we have some boundaries here, but I’ve done some exploring. There are mountains here and I spotted several caves, easily defensible. There is a dense forest…hills and rock cliffs out by the hot springs. However”, he looked at Marcus again, “…if you heard her, sir, I imagine it was wise to begin here”.

Standing back from them, he removed his light saber from his belt and activated it; the saber HUMMMed to life tall and brilliant blue. “Do we split up to cover more ground quickly or stay together to make a stronger fighting force against unknown odds?”.
