RETURN OF THE BRUJO
CHAPTER EIGHT
by

Peter drew back in shock and then, everything that he was,
everything that he was destined to be surged to the forefront.
His mind flared in strength as he cried out.
"NO! NEVER! I'll never do what you want, ever again!"
The Brujo was caught by suprise and then, at that precise
moment, five others joined in the fray. The sorcerer found himself
surrounded. At Peter's back were Kwai Chang Caine, Mathew Caine, The
Dali Lama, Lo Si and one other. The last one looked at the Brujo and
strength blazed, unlike any the sorcerer had ever encountered before.
In Peter's bedroom, his cry had brought all of them into the
room. Kermit watched as the others surrounded Peter then, Damon
Caine moved forward and took Peter's arms, turning them with the
brands facing up then, placed his own newly healed forearms over his
nephews.
The blaze of energy that flared had Kermit falling back and
then, they were all watching. Only Damon and Peter knew what was
happening now. All the others could do was wait and have their
strength ready if it was needed.
Inside Peter's mind, he looked around and was suprised to see
his uncle, Damon Caine. The Brujo was screaming in anger at what was
happening. He couldn't get anywhere near Peter and he was twisting
in the wind. Damon looked at Peter.
"Are you all right? I came as soon as I knew." Peter smiled
sadly but still in puzzlement.
"Uncle Damon, what happened? You're Shaolin now?" Damon
smiled. He kept his arms on his nephews as they talked, the energy
keeping the Brujo from hearing or reaching them.
"I finally embraced my destiny and became what I was meant to
be. Now, we have to stop him, in fact, you have to stop him. Peter,
he's channeling through someone. His angel, the one you remembered,
is no more. He has to have a new one, someone who is, or was, close
to you. Do you know who it might be?"
Peter thought then looked at his uncle in horror. His face
paled as he got the words out.
"My god, no. Captain Simms."
Damon never turned but he spoke out loud to his father and
uncle.
"The Brujo has a new 'angel'. Peter's Captain." Kwai Chang
looked at Kermit.
"I must go with you. As long as he has her in his power, he
can get to my son. Do you still love her?" Kermit removed the green
shades and his blue eyes looked deep into Caine's grey eyes.
"Yes, Caine, with everything that I am, everything I have
ever been." Caine smiled and laid a hand on the ex-mercenary's arm.
"That love will help to bring her back to us, my friend.
Come, we must go now. They are in her apartment." As they turned to
go, the Dali Lama smiled and handed a jade pendant to Kermit.
"Place this around her throat and it will protect her. Go,
both of you. You have my blessing." Both men bowed and were out the
door as the Holy One turned back to the battle raging within Peter
Caine.
