Chapter 4 : The Escape part 1

His boots left deep imprints on the mud as he walked across. His two companions, Norman and Seth, followed behind him. They wore long black coats, nearly reaching their ankles. They, too, also wore boots, the durable leather kind.

"Cane. " said Norman from behind. " The Militia that we are supposed to meet up with is no where near here."

Cane stopped, splashing mud on his boot as he placed the other in a puddle.

"They will be on the path, but farther ahead. We shall meet with them there. "

Norman kept walking, passing Cane. " Seth, Cane, We must needs hurry then. Langstrom is elusive and so like that shall he remain. "

Cane resumed walking, Going at a faster pace. " We might have some left over currency from our last bounty if you both had not wasted it on the rum you consumed. That left over currency could have been used to rent horses. " Said Cane glaring at Seth and Norman.

Norman and Seth both scoffed, simultaneously. " We have need for our rum, We cannot help the fact that you do not drink for your religion. "

Cane bit back sharp words, but he could not completely disagree. All three had their preferences. Cane himself was religious, a Catholic.

His mother had been Catholic, not his father,but he was still a believer in God, but not in religion.

Seth was the tallest of the group. He had light blonde hair that barely covered his ears.He was the thinnest one of the entire group and far from the most lethal of the three bounty hunters.

Cane was the most Lethal. He had found both Seth and Norman at a bar, while on a bounty, and recruited them both. Ever since then they had been collecting bounties across

the colonies.

Cane had very short black hair, and was tan as well as half-Indian. He was shorter than Seth but taller than Norman. Cane was built, the result of having to duel with two swords and a bit of experience in blacksmithing. He was toned from walking, but all three did that.

Norman had virtually no hair, always keeping it less than half an inch. He was shorter than the rest, but had more of a stronger, sturdier body. His nose was close to his face giving him sort of a flat faced appearance. His jaw was square, making him look meaner and more serious.

" We should be there in a few days. " Said Cane." Hopefully we can be in Maryland soon."

"Where do you believe Langstrom's main base is, Cane? " asked Norman.

Cane looked over at Norman, " To tell you the truth I could care less. Right now we have witnesses who have spotted him in Maryland. "

" Hopefully we can catch him this time. " said Seth, " He's been very close to being found before."

Adar had been waiting and thinking.

When will they send her? Time is running out, any later and my plan can't be executed

A knock on the door, startled Adar.

" Boy, you have a visitor. " Said the guardsmen.

Adar immediately stood up from his crisscross position.

The door opened and in came a girl followed by a guard, the same guard who accompanied her the last time she had come. Adar smiled this was what he had hoped for.

Melanie was outraged at first when she was ordered to try to get out as much information from the boy as she could.
