saying bad things about a city guard. Lisa only laughed that deep belly laugh again.
    “ So noted,” She nodded solemnly. “I really like you.”
    “Thanks.” Molly saw that the guard was now heading towards Lisa’s stall grinning with malice at Molly as he did. She shivered she really didn’t like that guard he was very nasty. Seeing her face Lisa turned to look behind her seeing the guard heading their way she let out a sharp whistle the two men’s heads swung towards her and they came to attention. Lisa made a strange fisted hand motion nodding towards the guard coming closer and the men moved quickly between the entrance of the stall and the man. They acted causal standing there with an unconcerned air as if they hadn’t just almost run to the entrance of the stall. The guard tried to enter, but a hard arm on the bigger man swung out blocking him from entering.
    “Sorry Mate. Only one customer in the stall at a time. Safety. You understand right?” the smaller man said as he stubbed his cigarette out with his boot after dropping it.
    “That’s ridiculous. I just wanted to warn that woman about the Slumie. She’s just been thrown out of my city for theft. I’m sure she stolen things from her already.” He smiled gleefully at Molly over the man’s shoulder. A roaring sound started in Molly’s ears surely now Lisa and the two men would turn against her. Allowing the guard to harass her, and they would probably help him. Her eyes filled with tears she just barely held back. She wasn’t ready to give up the slight friendship she’d created with Lisa yet. Why did this keep happening to her? She wasn’t a bad person surely she didn’t deserve this. “Really? Well it’s a good thing you’re here then, huh,” The big one said not moving his arm from where it blocked the guard’s entrance. “Except the rules. Safety first and all that. Could be an accident with two people in there.”
    Molly grabbed her backpack dug her money out giving Lisa all the credits she had left then gathered what she thought was worth ten credits and began to move away with a “Thanks and sorry for the trouble.”
    “Doll this is way more than we agreed to . Take this back.” Lisa said shoving half the credits back into her hand, and scooping up what she’d left on the counter beside the register. “You also forgot these.”
    Molly stared at her in disbelief “You heard what he said about me didn’t you?”              
    “Yes, but I’m a damned good judge of character, and I’d bet money on the case against you being a load of shit. Now, why don’t you head out the back while the boys detain him.” Lisa said as Molly shoved the money in the jeans pocket and the clothes in her backpack. “Thank you, Lisa” She hurried towards the back entrance to the stall that was covered by a curtain.
    “Wait. If you ever need anything, and you see one of the boys tell them that you’re a friend of Lisa , Slims old lady and they should bring you to her. Okay.” Molly shook her head although she didn’t understand the old lady comment it made no since to her Lisa was only a few years older than Molly. As she exited she heard an angry shout “Hey, what are you doing take your hands off me.”
    “Sorry again mate. You can’t enter an employee only area. Safety.” Molly smiled as she began walking faster. “Hey the Slumie went out that way.”
    “Well I didn’t see her did you Pretty Boy?”
    “Nope.” Came the flat reply before the voices faded in the distance as she hurried around another stall, and mixed with the crowds of people shopping a smile still attached to her lips.

    Her hand ran over her sweaty brow she’d been walking in the woods along the road for two days. She was hot and exhausted. The sun was beating down on her fiercely. She decided to take another rest, and sat down on the grass close to the road sign she’d just read. It said Lakeville Thirteen miles which put her about
