"Holy crap! He's gone!" Cole's words echoed through the empty warehouse, betraying his feelings to a stone faced comrade. "Well at least we know it works..." Alex responded in a voice, so void of emotion, it scared Cole. Cole was shocked, one of his friends had just been vaporized and sent to god knows where. He looked at Alex with a face of surprise and horror. "What are we gonna do man? He's gone and people are gonna know. We can't hide this!" Alex just gave Cole a look of disgust. "Of course we can hide this, everyone knows Miles was a little off the deep end. We'll just hide his car, say he skipped town and no one will be the wiser."
Cole stepped back and searched for a place to sit, finally choosing a dusty gurney that was covered in bowling pins. "So we stash his stuff here and just forget about him? That's cold man! Even for us!" Alex replied without blinking "I never said we would leave him." Without reservation Cole replied "you look like you want to" his voice barely audible." Alex dryly responded "it's not leaving him if we intend to get him back." Cole just shook his head. They both knew they had no idea of how to get Miles back.

Miles was in awe, we was rescued by one of his favorite mares. He had to struggle to keep down a surge of brony excitement. He gained control and introduced himself. "Thanks for the save I'd probably not be here if it wasn't for you." She smiled and replied "Well my sister, Flitter, and I were exploring Everfree. We had gone into the caves with Thunderlane and Lyra; when we found you and we were shocked. We got you here as soon as possible!"
"We'll I owe you my life, and maybe even an explanation."
"I'd like that explanation; when you get out of here come find me, the name is Cloudchaser," and with a smile walked out the door. Miles looked helplessly at the doctor, who only chuckled. "When can I get out of here doc?" Miles queried. "Well, let's give it four days and we'll see how you've progressed."
