As the song worked it’s way to close Runa glanced up her gaze landed on movement outside the fence. Tall, built like a power house, bald, mustache and goatee…Capall Southerland. He met her gaze, waved, and then the crowd moved and she lost sight of him and when it cleared, he was gone. Runa took her bow, handed, more like smacked, Mike with the pipes and disappeared off the stage heading for the gate.

The sound of drums began and a deep voice spoke softly to Tara behind her, but not in her space. “Tara, do you think you can keep up?” Oddvar, legs braced apart, large mallets in hand and began to beat on the war drum positioned in front of him.

Tara lifted the pipes and grasped the blowstick and said “Master Oddvar… it really is you who should be worried about keeping up with me.” and she filled the bag and began to play… and it was epic.

Runa exited out of the gate and glanced around and then turned following the drive back to the main road.

There were few in sight. Some McKenzies who lived in nearby Drumnadrochit were going to their vehicles before they wouldn’t be able to find them. Some were the punks from earlier. But nowhere was the former McKenzie Capall to be seen.

The McKenzies

Runa was undaunted. She wasn’t sure why or how the man had managed to still be outside the gate, but she was going to find out what was going on. Revna was right, Capall had reached out to her, why and for good or ill she had no idea. But it was Runa’s problem and no one else’s. He didn’t leave by car. All the cars that the cousins had come in had been towed. Plates and registrations had been run by Tannery so she knew Capall had left on foot, and so she kept walking. There weren’t any side roads, and most of the ‘cross country’ options would have taken him right across the estate proper, and if his letters were to be believed he wouldn’t step foot on McKenzie land without a direct invitation. She followed the road into Drumnadrochit. Computers the man was brilliant with computers. Feigning a malfunction with her communicator she inquired about a place to get it fixed. It was a long shot but somewhere to start. She found the small shop, but it was locked and lights off. And no hint to who the proprietor was. She turned and leaned against the door and tapped her foot. “Alright you aren’t in jail, you’ve changed your name, imposed banishment on yourself. But you want Mike to be able to reach you if he needs your help. So you wouldn’t go where you can’t be found…” She didn’t know anything about this area…”Where would you go Capall?”
