Commentary:
Years back when I first planned this chapter, it was only going to be Lubo, Auda and Tygo in the forest. I didn't originally have a cop join them in my plans. This means that Jim and Tim would be able to escape without being tracked down and would get away. Out the main three (Kuro, Jamon, and Elah) I picked Elah because I wanted to give her more action, I just didn't expect her to be THIS handy in this chapter.
The specific reasons for a cop joining them in the first place will be explained a bit later this chapter. Needless to say, I've possibly altered the course of Jim and Tim's story involvement, but definitely for the better.
