The Return of Flambeau (#2 in the series)

The next Morning

I still felt unsafe here, as I still wanted to stay indoors, but today I told myself to get over it and go outside. The morning started off good, Sid had something planned for the day, so I decided to look forward to it.

"I thought we could do something, to take your mind off things." Sid said leading me up to his caravan.

"Oh? Well that will be very much appreciated." I replied.

He went into the caravan, as I waited outside. He soon came out with a scroll of paper, Sid then rolled it out holding it against his caravan. I went to look at it.

"It's a map of Kembleford." Sid said. "Well I made it actually."

I nodded, as I was impressed with what he came up with.

"Reckon, we could expand it." I said.

"You took the words out of my mouth." He rolled it back up as he said that. He said we needed to walk through the town to get to the back of Lady Felicia's manor.

I knew it was supposed to keep my mind of things, but I get looking around scanning people to see if Flambeau was in disguised. Sid noticed me, although I did try to do it discreetly.

"How you let me, do the looking out for him." Sid advised.

"Pfffft, I was just checking if everything I saw was in the map." I lied.

Sid nodded but I knew he was convinced. We walked out through Kembleford on the way to the Manor, along a country road. Green grass was on either side of the road with s few trees in the distance. Man she was lucky to own all of this, well it's not technically hers.

"How big is her land?" I asked Sid.

"Very big, big enough to let the travellers stay away from her bedroom window." Sid replied.

Now that was a weird way to compare it, and I do remember that episode very well. That episode reminds me of other ones, in the 1950s they were racist. Mrs McCarthy disapproved of the traveller.

"Look out!" I shouted. Pulling Sid back out to the edge of the road.

It was going soo fast, I couldn't make it out, but when I turned to see the back off it I quickly went to read the number plate.

'138 5wz' was what I read. (I do not belong the number registration, as it belongs to the song "Raised by Wolves." By U2.)

"What was that?" Sid said. "Scared the life out of me." between deep breathes.

"That...my friend was from the 21st century." I answered.

Sid slapped the back of my head. "How can you make a stupid joke like that?"

"Ouch, thats where I got hit remember." I reminded.

He shrugged then walked ahead, I ran to catch up.
