I couldn’t help her, I tried but...”It was like a lamp had been switched on inside my head. That was the reason she was interested in this case - ...t wasn’t about me, but about Elisa. What had happened to her.“Did they get him?”“Them. There were two of them. Yes, they were caught and all they got out of it was a slap! Short probational sentences ‘because she hadn’t resisted them forcefully enough’ and she couldn’t show many bruises. Shit, she was one hundred and fifty centimeters tall and. It was uncomfortably cool and the grass was moist under his hands.Borna growled behind him. Rhys turned to face her. She knelt in the long, undisturbed grass, her wicked tail spike ready to impale. She wore her loincloth and had a small bag on a leather cord around her neck. Her angelic face was a mask of apprehension as she scanned her surroundings.“Trouble?” Rhys asked.“Not sure. I could have sworn I heard something move.”“Maybe a bird ... or a fox,” Chassari said. She bent low and helped. Turning the key in the door and giving it a push, my nose was greeted with the smell of home cooking, I stepped in watching her head towards me with a smile then step behind me taking my jacket off. “I’ve made you dinner, I hope you don’t mind I took money from the dish, to get stuff,” Alison said as I gave her a smile then headed to my chair in the living room. Within seconds Alison was handing me a coffee, with a smile then explained that dinner was nearly ready.We had hardly finished dinner. "Thanks, Nate," i said. "I hope you don't get into any trouble for helping us." I can't get into any trouble, kids. It's only against the rules for me to help you while I'm serving as an official." Nate chuckled."Then why did you tell us not to get too close to you today, Nate?" Eddie said."Because I don't want you two on my fish. I have customers to worry about and if I don't get them fish, they'll be upset," Nate said and then laughed."Still the jokester, aye Nate," I said."Jenny, I'll always.
