A lady came up to them. "What are you doing?" she asked. "Shouldn't you be working?"

"Ma'am we aren't from here," North said. "We're just visiting."

"Visiting?" the lady repeated. "No one just visits here. If you come here you stay here. No one leaves. Only big groups can leave. They can essay catch a small group of three." She looked over the three of them.

"What do you mean?"
