(We left off with Nic saying his breathless and disappeared. Joe injured his feet after falling. Tom rescue Joe but both are lost in directions.)
Tom says to Joe if I put you here I am afraid you will disappear like Nic.
Joe says, "Why not we slowly walk together and find a way out it's better this way..."
Tom agrees, "Come I will hold you on my shoulders."
Joe sees this guy Tom even though he loves Nic but he is willing to help me, I will say good things about him if anyone asks me. (In Joe's mind.)
Tom says, "What about Nic, aren't we going to find him?"
Joe says, "It can't help as I am injured now and we have already lost him, let's find Zen first. If we can find Zen he can help us find Nic, it would be better this way, since Zen has supernatural powers that exceed human beings."
