Someone else may also have accompanied Spock, but I am less sanguine about Sarek young cousin, Selek.

Although the young man was perfectly poised and polite, I gained an impression of duplicity from him. His eyes never quite met mine when he introduced himself and explained who he was. And later … I caught him gazing at me when he didn’t realize that I saw him doing so. There is something about Cousin Selek … something false. I am certain that he was lying about the purpose of his impromptu visit here. Perhaps he was lying about being related to my husband.

No, that cannot be it. There was a definite family resemblance between them. But still, there was something … something I cannot put roy finger on …

I have never heard of any Vulcan adult abusing a child. Surely Selek only went after Spock because he saw the chim running away and realized Spock could be in danger.t Surely Selek intends my son no harm …

He seemed like a very nice young man, despite everything. There was a warmth in his eyes when he gazed at me that I found touching, despite my reservations when I realized he was not being fully truthful with I long to take the aircar myself and go looking for Spock. Writing in my journal usually helps to calm me when I’m upset, but not this time. I cannot sit still an instant longer—perhaps Sarek and I should take the aircar and go looking for Spock ourselves in the Llangon Mountains. It will soon be dawn …

Sarek glanced up from the pages of the journal and sighed, remembering …

“I cannot stand this for one more instant,” Amanda burst out, pausing in her jerky pacing to glare at him. Sarek, reluctantly, had abandoned his work to join her in the living room of their residence in Shikahr. “I don’t care what you think—I’m taking the aircar and going to the Llangon Mountains to look for him myself.” Turning on her heel, she headed for the door. Her husband stepped in front of her, barring her way.

“Amanda, there is no reason to—”

“Don’t you dare use that infuriating calm voice on me!” she cried. At the moment, Amanda Grayson was a portrait in fury. “This is your fault, Sarek!” she flared, cheeks red, blue eyes blazing. “If you had tried to understand Spock, rather than demand perfection from him, just because he’s your son, then this never would have happened! Now either come with me, or stay here! I don’t care which!”

“Amanda.” Sarek heard the steel underlying the calm tones of his own voice, did not trouble to repress it. “I will not allow you to take the aircar into the Llangon Mountains.

The air currents there are treacherous, especially just after sunrise, and you are too upset to concentrate on piloting. We will wait here for the report from the authorities.”

Her small hands curled into fists, and for an instant Sarek wondered if she would strike him, but she whirled and strode away.
