"Well, let's hurry and get there and see what we can do to help out," Vi rushes Teddy.

The fifteen minute trip isn't fun for Vi, just over halfway there, each bump becomes increasingly painful. They crest and descend a few hills until they finally crest a hill which overlooks the remains of a fire. Deputy Kickman and Suarez, along with six of the town's firefighters are loading up the firehoses and congratulating each other.

Off to the side, where a tiny bit of smoke is still rising, looks to be some sort of armored suit with long wings. What look to be pop can sized missiles are laying several yards away from the smoldering remains. Then Vi sees the body bag, which looks occupied, laying near the firetruck. Someone didn't make it.

Deputy Kickman notices the two as Teddy hops begins to hop out of the carriage to spectate. "Hold it right there, Swenson. I don't care who your dad is. This is an active crime scene. Go back to the festival and let's not talk about what you saw."

"Umm, right. Like I'd keep this from my friends. What are you going to do? Arrest me?" Teddy's usual personality is shining through as Vi recognises the familiar action of balling up his fists. She does the same.

Kickman stops what he's doing, reaches for his handcuffs and begins marching straight at Teddy. Teddy promptly and nimbly hops back into the carriage, "Okay okay. Mum's the word!" and, "Hya!" as the carriage pulls around and begins moving.

"That's what I thought!" Kickman nods knowingly.

as vi sees teddy hoping back in the carriage , " hey are there injured that can be taken back with us ?"

As Vi sees Teddy hopping back in the carriage, "Hey! Are there injured that can be taken back with us?"

"No Vi." Deputy Kickman walks up to the carriage, "This is an active investigation. You head on back and enjoy the festival. Now."

Teddy doesn't even wait, he spurs the horse to head back towards Fort Hammer. After about five minutes, he asks, "What do you think happened?"

Vi looks towards teddy ," gaging from the armor , it was shot down and yet there are what appears to be missiles next to it. We'll thats my guess ."

Vi looks towards Teddy, "Guaging from the armor, it was shot down and yet there are what appears to be missiles next to it. Well thats my guess."

"It looked like it melted and the wings burned from the middle out; causing the missiles to fall off." Teddy seems rather grim about it, "What a horrible way to go."

The ride back to town is slow, yet pleasant, compared to the ride out. Cheers from the obstacle course and horse races erupt from town. The closer they get, the more Teddy's mood lightens. He finally has a thought, "Most everyone is watching the horse race. It's a good time to get food. Wanna?"

Vi smiles at the thought of food ," sure that sounds good . What do u wonna eat ?"

Vi smiles at the thought of food, "Sure, that sounds good. What do you wanna eat?"

"Chicken skewers!" He cheers, "I'll buy. And then we can get ice cream!" Vi swears he sounds like a kid, going to the festival for the first time. "Then after, I have to do that second stage on the obstacle course." He sounds nervous about it.

Eventually, the two enter town and park the carriage in front of the library. "I'll go get it if you want. Unless you want to come with." Before today, Vi has never seen Teddy be so nice and accommodating to anyone.

Vi grabs the cruches and gets ready to walk with teddy ," let's go together . Ok?"

Vi grabs the crutches to walk with Teddy, "Let's go together, okay?" Teddy nods as he helps her out of the carriage. The trip up the street isn't too painful as Vi still feels how tender it is. Testing a slight amount of weight isn't near as excruciating as before, but she can tell it still needs rest and time to heal.

They make it to the skewer shack, where multiple kabobs are sold. Upon reaching the stand, line only has two people ahead of them.

Three credits will get five kabobs with rice and a cup of water. Other options include salt and pepper steak, bacon wrapped trout over rice, seared apple honey ham cubes on a stick, spiced honey chicken on a stick, barbequed chicken on a stick, barbequed steak on a stick or lemon pepper chicken on a stick. All for one credit for two, two credits for two and rice and three credits for five and rice with water.

"I'll do the big deal with two teriyaki chickens, two lemon pepper chickens and salt and pepper steak." He glances at Vi, "What do you want?"

Vi looks at menu ," the BBQ steak and BBQ chicken sounds good teddy ."
