It sickened Sarabi to watch the hyenas kill the cheetah, who was nursing as it turned out when several cub squeaks were heard, but the former queen was adamant, the hyena could pay later, for now she had to find out where they lived, the get back and warn Simba.

Being careful to maintain her camouflage, Sarabi followed the hyenas as they headed back home, their deed done. At first it looked as though they were heading for the graveyard, but they passed by it, heading instead for the Outlands. As she watched them cross over the log spanning the river, she considered whether to follow them further to pinpoint their home, or leave to warn Simba.
