[Jeramiahh]<br/><br/>It takes Charles some time to get back to the hideout, but he gets there, despite nearly running headlong into a Cheliaxian patrol.  When he enters the hideout, he sees Florence, pale faced as she treats a wound on Willie's stomach.  Several other red-stained bandages on his arms and shoulder testify that it most definitely wasn't an accident.  Florence looks up, and quickly speaks, her voice strained. "Charles!  Thomas got caught by a Cheliaxian patrol when looking at one of the First Guard depots.  I only know because Willie got away."
