#1: Leaphorn found himself thinking of the late Ernesto Cata, who had (as the Zuñi would say it): completed his path after thirteen years of life, and who had been the personifier of the Fire God. #2: There were four law enforcement agencies in the case before the FBI got involved: (1) Leaphorn and the Navajo Police, (2) Navajo from the McKinley County Sheriff's Department, (3) Highsmith from the State Policemen, and (4) Pasquaanti from the Zuñi police. #3: O'Malley clearly stated his opinion at the law enforcement meeting: he believed that Leaphorn had no business entering Shorty's Hogan. #6: Training to be a Little Fire God (as young men found out each year) was not an easy task.
