Evan stuck his tongue out, making a face as he translated for White.
“Great-grandpa and Great-grandma aren’t here, but all their stuff still is.”
“Every cabin’s got someone on guard. Every place to stay is already taken.”
“The storage shed is packed with all kinds of animal pelts and meat. And… there are over a dozen dead black storks.”
Elysia’s brows shot up in alarm. Black storks—those were on the endangered species list!
They were called the “pandas of the bird world” because they were so rare. And these people had killed more than ten?
Were these poachers?
But her grandparents had lived in these mountains for years, treating the animals as friends. How could they possibly allow people to kill so many protected animals?
Wait. Maybe they hadn’t allowed it—but what could they do?
There were so many intruders, all of them armed. What could her grandparents possibly do against them?
Elysia’s worry deepened, both for her grandparents and for the animals that had suffered.
“White says that when these people arrived, Great-grandpa and Great-grandma had already left,” Evan said suddenly.
Elysia blinked in surprise. “They left? What do you mean?”
“They went out. Left the place.”
“Where did they go?”
“No idea yet. White heard that they left yesterday evening. Not long after, these people showed up.”
Elysia felt a little bit of relief.
At least her grandparents hadn’t been caught by these people.
“Don’t worry, Mom,” Elliot piped up. “I’ll ask White to look around some more.”
White could talk to the animals in the forest, so it’d be easier for them to get info.
After sending White off with his new mission, Elliot furrowed his brow and turned to Tarquin.
“Dad, shouldn’t we get someone over here and ask a few more questions?”
Tarquin nodded—he had the same thought. “I’ll take care of it.”
He walked to the cabin door and knocked.
It took a while before someone strode over, scowling. “What do you want?”
