Giving me a pity smile as he looks at me. “What’s your name?” he asks as he sits on a large rock and removes his shoes “I’m um… I’m Irina”. It felt odd telling this stranger my name but he didn’t appear to be a threat. “Well Irina, it is nice to meet you.

Anisel released his grip and so did I. “He has to be right. I saw two people walking around here before. It has to be them.” The stranger said. I wanted to ask questions until I studied Anisel’s face as he focused on the conversation. Something was up. “Those bastards have been dodging me for years.

“We’ll be okay. We’re way out here and if we turn far enough out it should be fine.” “Yeah,” I nod.
