RETURN OF THE BRUJO
CHAPTER THREE
by

After Caine had left Captain Simms office, he went back to
his son's apartment to find Lo Si still sitting in vigil over Peter's
sleeping form. Caine sat on the floor to meditate, wondering what he
could do to save his son this time?
Peter began stirring, moving slowly, as if in a trance and
then, the two older men began to hear Peter's voice, softly pleading
to be left alone, that he didn't want to do this. Tears rolled down
Caine's cheeks at his son's pain and his own feeling of helplessness
over what was happening.
Then, Caine had an idea, it was wild, audacious even but, it
was worth a try. Caine sent a mental SOS to an old friend, one he
hadn't talked to in years but, he knew that if he could reach him, he
could help his tortured son. He recieved a faint reply and was
counseled to wait in patience.
That was the hardest thing for Kwai Chang Caine to do but he
knew it was necessary to help Peter. He opened his eyes and looked
across at Lo Si, who had a serene smile on his weatherbeaten face.
Caine cocked his head, looking at his mentor.
"You knew I would call him?" Lo Si nodded.
"You are right, my old friend. He can help your son this
time, when you cannot but, he will not come alone. He will bring a
friend with him who can also assist you in this. He is right, you
must be patient. They will arrive in time to save your son. Peter
will not kill anyone that he is ordered to kill, my friend. We will
prevent it from taking place, that, I promise you."
Caine inclined his head in acknowledgement and the two men
waited, praying for Peter's peace of mind and continued peace in his
soul.
*************************************************************
Deep in meditation, the Dali Lama had heard the cry for help
from his old friend. For Caine to call to him, the situation had to
be grave indeed. He settled himself to reach out to find out what
was bothering his friend and instinctively recoiled when he lightly
touched the chi of Caine's son, Peter. The misma of evil surrounding
the young man was palpable.
The older monk again settled himself and probed gently.
Soon, he discovered the reason behind Caine's concern and knew that
he must travel to his friend's side but first, there was someone he
had to find and thanks to the Ancient, The Dali Lama knew just where
to find this one person.
He clapped his hands together once and, as his servants
scurried to his side, he issued instructions. In a half an hour, he
was on his way to Carlsburg, with a side trip to pick up the person
in question. He hoped that this would help free Peter from the
Brujo's domination for, if it didn't, then a battle was in the works
that Peter would have to fight, alone.
