Redhawk Caldera no rest for the wicked

"Peregrine can't smell," she replied when Elwood asked, more or less ignoring her best friend's usual chipper demeanor. Fox was perfectly fine with silliness in most situations, but her childrens' lives were at stake. "He wants to step down." Technically, he already had... but Fox was unwilling to entertain his irrational self. Surely he hadn't meant it. "I don't know what I'll do if he does." And that was the truth of it. Fox felt a mix of all kinds of emotions, and none of them were pleasant.

"I don't know if he'll be able to provide for the kids." They were on their way, and they weren't going to go into suspended animation just because their parents were fighting... if it could even be called that. "I just... I wanted you both to know." These were her two closest friends. They were a big part of the reason Redhawk Caldera was what it was.
