’ said Robert handing over the file he had. Sherri read it and said ‘I don’t understand, he’s a sex offender?’ she asked. ‘Yes, and lives ...n a house which is within 1000 feet of a day care center, he was arrested and convicted for forcible Rape. His address on the sex offenders list is 12 months old, he has been living with her for the last year according to the Credit Report, his bills have been going there anyway which is proof enough for the DA.’ Robert sat down and said ‘I don’t know, but. My happy mood shifted to unease as I saw the Galit and a party of men and women making their way to us. The headman's counsel was often a problem for me, more so when I was in his territory.

An upside-down face, as white as a sheet, was inches away on the other side of the glass, and I was so startled that I let out a high-pitched shriek.It took me another five minutes to clear enough snow.
