A text comes through... a Group text, to both Dagmar and the Mountain. "Sam, need help. Reinforcements. Find your Uncle if he doesn't check texts." And a map pin...

At Hackensack!

ANd NO response? GASP

A second text comes through, with an address. "Kid in danger, possibly, or captive here."

⚠️ (and the caution Emoji)

Last text... I am going into the 1st. 🕷️ 🤡 rescue. Phone off. See u soon.

TXT: OMW

"DAD! We need to ROLL! Let's get Frank!"

Jaymes grunts (Okay?) It wasn't on his text but when she shows him hsi eyes go up ("half hour drive. We should take faster transport, Flicker flash or Narwhal")

"Gerd can flash us."

"She'd want to help, anyways."

TXT: "Gerd, get Frank, Siv & Connor, chief calls!"

And soon the crowd is assembling "Yeah I can flash you there. I've been to old Angus' before" Gerd says

"I'd love to show him what the Narwhal can do" but then Siv always wants to use a ship

Frank not only has his tire tapper, he's belted on his sword.

"I have to go with the night! I will bring my flashlight!"

Connor zips to Dagmar's side...

"Narwhal might get us all there with the least drain?" A pat on Connor's shoulder, welcoming him along.

He straightens up, proudly.

"Fine. But I am flicker flashing back" Gerd says "If no one else needs it. Boats make me queezy"

"SHIIIP" Siv says as she races towards the water, and unleashes the Narwhal

Kerri shoved a handful of cookies at Frank before he left.

And she is rallying others (Lut, Tig, SallyMae, and several of the younger set) to close ranks around the Lodge, just in case this is two-pronged.

"Gerd, send me to Brekke now, please." Frank asks quietly but firmly.

Some minor chaos, but the cavalry is on its way!

Gerd says says "Right"

Frank flashes away. the other submerge into the water and come out next to the hold in the river!
