alex answers the door "hello oh hi my name is alex Quverdeco" the cops talk to him he shakes his head and shuts the door and the cops get in their car and drive away

she told him it was safe before pulling back out her book.

luke signs a thank you and asks on the paper if he can stay with her until his mother can come get him which she aint supposed to have contact with him but desperate times call for desperate measures

"as long as you help me around the barn then yeah." she said not looking up from the book.

Luke says okay on the paper and then says on the paper what can i help with?

"stable work feeding dishes, just small jobs." she said keeping an eye out for the horse killer still.

it turns to morning and there's still no sign of the horse killer

she groans climbing down letting the horses out "ok kid get up," she said

luke gets up and blackout and his herd run out of the stables and stretch their legs they hated being cooped up like tamed horses they graze in the open meadow near the village blackout's hip still pop

she sighed "ok first kid if your going to be on the run you need to do it properly," she said pulling him into her house.
