Jesper was an old man with a brown hat, yellow shirt and blue jeans.
And a pipe. Don't forget the pipe. I suspect he valued it.
-"Jesper?"
-"Well you found me! And now you can leave me again!" He muttered.
I tried to explain why I needed his help but he just turned his back to me.
"Bah! What do I care if Moorland stables is razed to the ground? That wretched place was the end of my daughter, and I curse the day my sweet Catherine and that snake Thomas met. I have hated the Moorlands for the better part of the last twenty years but if you think you can change that you're welcome to drop by again, now be off my land!"
He waved goodbye to me like I was a fly to be chased away, so I left.

We rode back to Moorland, and Justin, who maybe could help us?

"Hey Liza? You say that you've been seen my grandfather? That crazy old man hates us and nothing would please him more than to see our stable razed to the ground. Let me think about this overnight." Justin said with a frownz
I nodded. "I'll come back tomorrow then."

"Wait a moment!" The voice of Tan scared me a little. As I turned around I was able to spot Tan outside the stable gates. "Have you seen Loretta? She took a ride on the Wild Bobcats Track but never returned. I'm worried that something have happened to her but I can't leave here, all the other Bobcats are out searching for her and I need to stay here if someone gets back with news. I know you might not like Loretta much but I really need you to help out searching for her. Please ride to the cliffs west of here and see if she's there? Hurry!"
I don't like you either I wanted to say but shut my mouth before I could say something I would regret.

Not because I wanted to help Loretta, more becuse I didn't have anything better to do, me and Blaze rode towards the cliffs Tan had pointed out.

When we arrived to the foot of the big cliff a man with G.E.D clothes blocked our way.
"Stop!" He shouted to us as we came closer. "This way has been declared unsafe. You can't walk, ride or drive any further. There was a huge rockslide a little while ago and the large blocks have blocked the road completely! Back away girl!"

I tried to ask if he had seen a girl around but he just let out an quiet laugh.
"No, but I hope for her sake the she's not lying under the pile of boulders over there." The man pointed behind him. "In that case she'll be flat as a pancake..."

"Can't I just carefully walk pass?"
"No, I can't let you do that. Even if your friend is in danger, the road must be cleared before I let you pass. Those are the orders I have. So I won't leave this place until Mr Kembell tells me to, you don't know what he had do to me if he found out that I had disobeyed his orders."
I glared at him in anger, and he may have seen it because he added;
"You could always ask mr Kembell to send a bulldozer. You will find him on the construction site, close to that big beautiful advertising board. Ugh! I'm hungry and no one is coming to let me have my lunch break. Off you, go to the construction site!"

I felt like he didn't want to talk with me anymore so Blaze turned towards the awful advertising board. Now we only had the easy part left.
I shouldn't have said that...
