Chapter 51: Questions

When Mr. Brown finished telling his account of the story, Sarah was sitting hugging her knees at his feet listening intently. With her eyes wide open she asked, "But what was that black vein on Fin? Did Ryan not find out?"

Mr. Brown shook his head, "Even if he did he did not let me know of it, and later on he was banished".

Sarah nodded slowly in understanding, "And everyone assumed Ryan caused his friend to become ill? Did they not know that he would do anything to save him instead? What was there to gain from harming his only friend anyways?"

Mr. Brown heaved out a long sigh, "Who else would you suspect if an unknown disease spread in your body?"

Sarah nodded again, "But were there really no other suspects? What about Ryan? Did he not try to go after anyone?"
