Nelly seems still nervous from the event, but she gathered enough courage to tell her story again. "Jemny disappeared a few day ago. But he seldom did that, when he was spying a prey for his habit, so Merryl wasn't concerned. Then Harold disappeared the next day. The day after, it was Ricky and Jane. Merryl didn't liked that. She asked me to stay hidden and wait for her return. But the night had pass and she never came back. But Merryl never left me alone that long." Nelly wipe a tear from her cheek and hug Charina to gain some comfort.
Pasqual listen to Nelly. He shook his head gently, as he generally do to tells 'I told you so'. He raise his hands to show the people around him. "As you see, we are crowded here. Our territory starts to be too small to take care of everyone without attracting the attention of the authorities. Merryl have been too good with the people and now we are at risk to lose everything we have build. So Merryl decided it was time to expend our territory."
"I told Merryl it was a nonsense to do that" tells Pasqual. "Rumors had spread lately. Rinch is supposed to be dead, and for good now. A band of crazy heroes have killed him and prevented his return. I was not convince the rumors was true. Each time everyone had thought the guy dead, he had returned. But his lieutenant Jarec and most of his inner circle are either dead or in prison. There organisation, at least what is left, is disorganized and weak. Merryl thought it was the best time."
"Two weeks ago, she tooks a few volunteers and they head to establish an hideout. It was Jemny, Harold, Ricky, Jane and Nelly who had followed Merryl. I don't know where they have gone. Jane came back last week with a bag of gold, things seemed to get right, but things have changed it seems. That's all I know."
