Redhawk Caldera A-nos-MIA

Elwood's question caused Peregrine to speculate, wrinkling his nose thoughtfully as he tried to remember the last time he had crossed paths with Raven. It turned out that it had been more than a day or two -- which Elwood knew was odd even before Peregrine said it. His ears tilted back with worry when the Alpha suggested that she had gone looking for Pan. Since they didn't know Pan's whereabouts -- or what had happened to him -- there was no telling where Raven had gone if she had decided to search for him.

Peregrine howled for his daughter, and Elwood tipped his head back to add his voice to the urgent call. Their message would carry into the neutral territories, but if Raven was out of earshot it would be fruitless. As for Peregrine's nose, it apparently wasn't congested; he had just lost his sense of smell.

"Okay. We'll try to figure out what's going on with your nose later. I wish I was a doctor," Elwood said ruefully. For a moment, he briefly considered taking up the trade, but then realized sadly that there was no one in the pack who could teach him. "Let's focus on Raven. Is there anywhere else in the territory she could have gone? What about the tunnels?" he asked, thinking of when Wildfire had gotten lost in the maze beneath the mountain.
