"I don't think they know what he's done."

"In that case I guess I could introduce myself to them and mention the forensics offer to them?"

"That seems helpful."

"Greetings," says a voice coming from behind Cam.

"Greetings to you too. I'm Cam."

"So I've heard; I am Tigerstar, leader of ShadowClan.  But perhaps you've heard that as well."

"I've heard the name but I did not recognize you since we haven't met. What can I do for you?"

"I understand you were to be meeting with all the cats of the forest today, and came to offer you an invitation to visit ShadowClan myself."

"Cool. Is it okay if Cricket comes along?" He indicates Cricket. "He's been accompanying me."

"I would prefer if it were you alone, but if that is a condition of your attendance I will accommodate it."

"I can drop him off if you'd prefer, it's just an extra trip."

"We could wait here for you."

"Okay. Back in a few." Cam takes Cricket back to his mobile home and leaves him there with some tuna and Princess's reading program to play with.

Fireheart and Tigerstar are waiting on opposite sides of the clearing when he returns.

"Okay, he's squared away. Lead on."

Tigerstar heads for the Thunderpath and crosses via a somewhat hidden drainage tunnel running underneath it.

"Ooh, a tunnel," remarks Cam, crossing aboveground.

"ShadowClan is fortunate to have a method of safe crossing to Fourtrees."

"Yeah, that might even be safer than the bridge I made at least when it's not rainy."

"Oh?"

"Presumably the tunnel is full of water, in the rain?"

"Sometimes.  What bridge did you make?"

"One across the road!"

"Interesting.  Where?"

"I don't really know how to describe locations to you? Obviously not right near your tunnel."
