Lori hadn't the heart to tell Quin that her silver tool did not have the power to reach beyond swingersboard.com. The flash of lightening and the power that it exhibited was frightful. She held her poise though as she had never seen Quin in such a state and it disturbed her deeply.
This was her friend, her cyber sister, always so strong and so bold. Knowing that she was in such pain broke Lori's heart, but it made her stronger.
Lori comforted Quin in the same way that she had been comforted when the graemlins turned up missing. Quin was so devestated to learn that they had yet to be found. She was so upset that it silenced her.
Lori knew it was now her turn to be strong. She could not let her cyber sister down. She knew that she must find the smiley sex graemlin. She drew upon the strength that she had learned from her cyber sister Quin and became determined to find the smiley sex graemlin. The *evil* one was furthest from her mind....
She placed a hand on Quin's shoulder and said "I must go now, but I leave you in good hands". "Rest for a while my friend, I know you are weary". She left Quin with the <img border="0" alt="[kiss]" title="" src="graemlins/kiss1.gif" /> graemlin to comfort her on her left, and the <img border="0" alt="[lol]" title="" src="graemlins/lol.gif" /> graemlin clown on her right to keep her spirits up. All of the other graemlins surrounded her, some in awe as they had never seen her up close before. Others crowded around her devastated, as they had never seen their beloved Quin in such a state.
The
graemlin barked "I am going with Lori". Even his anger had calmed enough to feel the pain that Quin was going through as she had held his hand a couple of times over the last few months.
Lori and the
graemlin left the circle of graemlins and cyber friends to join in the search for the missing two, Lori knew she was in good hands with the
graemlin as a supporter....
