Chapter Twenty Three

"I thought you said you were coming home at 9 pm?"

"I could not come home. Have you seen how it was storming?"

James looks at Thomas, "where did my parents let you sleep?"

Thomas looks love to Emily, "has she eaten?"

"Yes, I have made oats. It bothers me that you don't answer my question. Where did you sleep?"

"On the Sofa"

Thomas stands up, walks over to Emily, and check on the side of her neck, "there is nothing."

Emily pulls away, "what are you doing?"

I thought I saw a bruise, sorry.

Thomas walks to his mom's room, taking her soup and a bottle of water. His mother's lips are dry. She and she has lost weight.

"Who is that girl in our house?"

"Her name is Emily's mom, she stays close by her house was ransacked, and her parents are dead."

His mother attempts to sit up as Thomas guides her to drink through the straw.

"So, what are your intentions, Thomas? This needs to be reported to the authorities."
