"You genuinely believe my life's in danger?"

Enola nods at him, while the three of them walk into the communal kitchen.

"Uh from whom?"

"Your past, present and future"

"Whatever does that mean?"

Lily goes over to the tea pot, then stops and turns around facing Tewksbury.

"Your family."
"They didn't send a detective to find you. They could have, and they didn't. Instead, they sent a murderer."

Lily says calmly giving the boy the same look he was giving her not too long ago.

"Why would anyone want me dead?"

"Countless reasons"
"Your personality, your ridiculous hair, your silly smile, or possibly your land, your estate, your title, your seat."

"Same reasons they wanted your father dead. Greed does funny things to people, Tewkesbury."
Enola finishes for Lily.

"So now you're saying you think they killed my father?"

"I don't think I know"

"No"
"No, none of this makes the slightest sense. My father's death was caused by a botched burglary, and... and it would have been easier to kill me before I ran away"
He says with slight panic im his voice.

"I entirely agree. I think they tried to. We found the branch that almost kill you."

"It had been cut."

Lily says about to continue until the man from the Tewksbury mansion comes out of the shadows, or to be literal, behind the door.

Enola sensed him before the other two, and grabbed the tea pot and throws it straight at the man.

The three running frantically up back into the room.

Lily motions to the pair to help her push the Chested draws behind the door.

"Open up Miss posey and Miss Carter..... or should I say Miss Holmes and Miss May?"
The bearded man says.
