            This just in, it is now time for the 12 hour no law - Reyna turned of the old TV leaving her in complete darkness. "Fio?" She called out into the darkened hut of where she would stay during the terrible twelve hours of the no law zone. "Reyna.. Outside." A faint voice sounded. "Get the hell back in here!" She called frantically, and desperately made her way to the front of the opening. She saw her little brother and grabbed him by the waist pulling him in.

"Fio, you can't go outside right now."

"Why?"

"You could get killed. I can't let that happen." She said holding him close to her chest. "I cant loose you." She whispered into his brown curly locks. "I'm sorry Reyna." He said nuzzling his face into her chest. "It's okay." Reyna gently rocked him in her arms glancing over at the clock that was under their cots. "It's 4am you should get some sleep." She said pulling Fio away from her thin frame. She carried the Six year old to the cot and set him down. She pulled a blanket over him and unplugged the clock.

Reyna made her way to the front, glancing out into the wilderness watching the little hut seeing the lights turn off making the hut look invisible. She pulled the blanket over the opening and crawled back to the cots, turning of the flash light that had almost no battery left and sat up on her cot, praying nobody would find them, not tonight. She lied down slowly and pulled the blanket over her chest closing her eyes and quickly feel asleep.
