Mark and Ben navigate the dangerous rapids of Devil's Pass as they try to get the Senator to the hospital in time. The ducks and the Jack Elrod Ball guide the paddlers, trying to find them the safest way through. (Or at least the Jack Elrod Ball is. The ducks kind of look like they're trying to get away because they don't want to see the nice woodsman drown.) You know, Mark and Ben, it might have been easier to use a rubber raft. At least then you could have bounced off of the rocks. That canoe is likely to break apart or tip over if you hit anything (or are just hit the wrong way by a wave), but I guess you two are too brave to know any better.
A short time later, the two arrive at the hospital (which must be right on the river and have a special entrance for boats), and the Senator gets the medical attention he needs. Everything seeming to be all right, Mark decides to give Cherry a call and see how things are going back at Lost Forest, and here the lies begin. I'm not sure that the Jack Elrod Ball is too happy about you not telling her the truth about what has happened, though she should be curious about this "I just wanted to call and tell you how much I miss you!" thing seeing as how that's just the sort of call one would make after one goes through a near-death experience.
Oh Mark, why do you continue to tell such lies. (I bet you'd tell her the same thing if you ended up in Mid-World and were facing death from all of those robots and ne'erdowells.) I think that Cherry could take it. She's a tough little lady. After all, she faced off against a mountain lion
and the woman who wants to steal you away all in the same day. Oh well, maybe this adventure is something that really needs to be talked about face to face after it's all been resolved. (You'd just better hope that the Jack Elrod Ball doesn't tell her what really happened before you have a chance to.) His phone call finished, who should show up at the hospital but Tim, who is clearly concerned about the Senator, not because they're friends or anything, but if the old guy kicks the bucket, this whole Save Paradise Lake thing could blow up in his face.
Later, with Senator Hatcher on the road to recovery, Mark, Tim, and Ben leave the hospital and head on over to Tim's office where Mark, with the help of a friendly hawk, begins to recount the events leading up to the elderly gent's hospitalization. I wonder how long this is going to take, and what it's going to mean about the future of Mark's adventure. One thing is for certain, I'm not sure how soon he's going to be seeing Cherry. There's still quite a lot to do and at least one more fight to be had.
