He tried hard, for he thought danger would come to the Clan if they could see each other. After many attempts to keep the two cats away from each other, he failed. Firestar was very stressed out after the disappearance, and sent many patrols out to find the two.

Brambleclaw -
“"I was chasing a vole." Squirrelpaw sounded exasperated. “Dappletail said she fancied one, so I thought I’d better oblige, seeing that Firestar seems to want me to feed the elders, like, forever. It ran under here, and I thought there was room for me to run after it.” “There isn’t,” Brambleclaw pointed out helpfully. "I know that now, mouse-brain! Do something!"”
