ALEXA WATCHED THE PAIR stumble out the front door and as soon as it closed them, Alexa scurried into the radio room. She had been watching Dr. Song operate the wireless unit and was confident she knew how to do it. She flipped the power switch and then spun the tuning dial until she found the exact frequency she wanted, one she had memorized by heart. The unit glowed green, indicating the unit was ready to transmit. Alexa took a deep breath, then picked up the hand held mic and pushed the button on its stem.

“Alex- I mean Alice in Wonderland, to Nivens, come in please.”

The short wave crackled and hummed.

“Alice In Wonderland to Nivens, come in White Rabbit.”

Silence.

“Alice in Wonder-” the radio receiver flashed and the voice of a young man reached her ears.

“White Rabbit is down a rabbit hole. This is March Hare.”

Alexa peeked out the window. Dr. Song and Peet were just rounding the corner of the garage. “March Hare. I need to visit the last rabbit hole that Nivens and I went to, together. There are some special carrots there that are needed for a friend. Could you have Nivens meet me at the entrance to the hole in two days’ time? This is the hole underneath the lavender patch.”

“Understood, Alice. We will send some other rabbits along to help you forage. By the way, a rabbit close to you has been found in the next den over, she was found in one of our rabbit holes but ran away. We think she may be sick. She ran into some hunters.”

Alexa’s pulse raced with alarm. “Is she ok? She is a reckless rabbit. Always sniffing at traps.”

“We don’t know. We are trying to find out. She is running with the wrong colony. There are many predators running wild in the forest nowadays. But the hunters are the worst. We avoid them as much as possible. They are snatching rabbits right off the runs. We are doing our best to learn their plans.”

“Understood. I will meet up with Nivens at this hour, tomorrow. Over and out.”

Alexa turned off the wireless and put the chair back the way it was. She ran out of the room and to the kitchen, where a window displayed a view of the rear of the house. Peet and Dr. Song had just passed by and were almost to the third corner of the house. Alexa grabbed a bag from under the sink and began shoving food into the cloth sac, then ran back to her room and shoved it into the top of her back pack with all her belongings. She shoved it back under the bed, then went back to the living room, just as the door was opening. She held it wide while Peet limped into the room. His face was ashen and he looked like he was about to throw up. He limped over to the couch and sank down into it, his eyes closing with exhaustion. Dr. Song lifted the injured leg, dragging a groan from Peet.
