Logan chuckled, sitting on the other side and looked at Arvio. "She's right Arvio. Come back to us okay? You can do this." He looked at Jordan, each knowing what each other was thinking.

"We'd better go to the fireside meeting." Logan stood up and Jordan took his hand, and they said bye to Fang and told him they'd update Trudy for him.

When they arrived at the City Hall, Owen, Justice, Trudy and a lot of other Sandrock Citizens were there to find out what was going on.

Logan and Jordan joined Trudy at the top of the steps and turned to face the small crowd.

Trudy nodded to them and turned to speak to the crowd. "Thanks for coming everyone. As you know, there's been a series of tragedies here in Sandrock and we're afraid that Arvio has been the latest victim. He is currently at the clinic with a severe head injury and in a coma."

"He may not survive. Amirah has gone to Atara to consult with doctors there for when they fly him to Atara and he'll be flown there tomorrow morning, providing he makes it through the night."

"Catori was the first victim and then Yan. We don't know where they are now because their bodies vanished from the cemetery but we're working on locating them so they can be buried and put to rest."

"Miguel and Yans brother Wei have been arrested for their murders and attempted murder of Arvio and are at the Civil Corps." Everyone in the crowd began talking and people yelling out they should immediately drive them from town.

"Please settle down everyone. Justice will be served. Justice has contacted Avery and he's on his way here to take them to Atara for a trial and they will be serving their time there. With their arrests, we can all rest easy because there is no longer a threat to the citizens of Sandrock. I know this is shocking news and very tragic but at least we have the culprits in custody."

"Now everyone, I'd like for us to bow our heads and say a prayer for Arvio and also Catori and Yan. May Arvio recover and come back to us and may Catori and Yan rest in Peace." Trudy and everyone bowed their heads, closing their eyes, as they said a prayer for them.

Meanwhile, Wei in the Civil Corps jail remembered the other night when he had that nightmare that some evil force had come to his house and possessed his body.

He thought he'd had that dream because of what he'd done to Catori and Yan but the citizens of Sandrock were about to learn that things weren't always what they seemed. He grinned at Miguel who nodded, and they both began laughing, knowing right now that things were being revealed. The dream he had was merely a mind trick because of what they'd done, and they figured they'd gone a bit too far.

Everyone at City Hall was bowing their heads in silence and prayer when suddenly they heard two familiar voices. "What a bunch of whimps. Surprise everyone, we seemed to have recovered from our deaths."

When everyone turned to look, they saw Catori and Yan both walking through the crowd, alive and well. They were each covered in dirt and dead branches, but they were alive.
