| “Yes it does, doesn’t it? I want to help but am not sure what to do?” Anna replied, obviously perplexed about the matter. “First and foremost it is vital you are not captured by the enemy. They could use you to control what choices your father might make. Please understand that is why the most important thing you can do is to not get caught. Personally I would suggest moving to one of the caves that overlook Twisted River Canyon. You will have plenty of warning that someone is coming as long as you keep a guard alert and watching the skies.” “I can certainly do that much!” Anna said. “Whatever you do, you must stay free until the reinforcements arrive. I am told there will be no need for a signal. The sky will be darkened from all the different species of duck coming to your father’s aid. Remember they will be attacking anything not on our side. Make sure you are wearing or flying a flag that features the color green and you will be safe. The plan is to get your father” – Suddenly Ozzy is interrupted by an unrecognized voice. “You there! Hold it right there! I want to talk with you!” The voice was coming from above. They had not seen him earlier and now were going to pay the price. “You are all under arrest! Consider yourselves prisoners of war.” Ozzy looked at Anna and Splash and cried, “Fly for it!” Then he took to the air and flew right at the big snow goose. Ozzy hit the bigger bird with his claws outstretched and seeking to do harm. The big snow goose took it in the upper chest and face causing it to tumble backwards and sending white feathers scattered through the air like dandelion seeds blown across a yard on a blustery day. “Yahoo! Let’s dance goose!” Ozzy said standing over the big goose. next page |  Ozzy and Dan |
