Redhawk Caldera Chokin' on goatmeat

Thought I'd wrap this up!

Elwood began to move toward a tunnel, the route the pups surely took. Before they could slip further underground, Sebastian called to them, volunteering to stay at the cave's mouth. "You do that," the Alpha called back, "and everyone else, please spread out and search the caldera!" With the two of them plumbing the tunnels; Sebastian rooting himself to the cave mouth; and the rest of the pack fanning out to search elsewhere, surely they would locate the pups quickly.

"All right," Peregrine said, moving close to Elwood and sucking in a deep, deep breath. He felt like he might choke. "Let's do this." He strode forward purposefully, exhibiting none of the fear and anxiety that squeezed his heart as he plunged into the tunnels, calling his children's names and hoping that all four of them would escape this dark, dreary catacomb alive.
