The two young men and women had been walking for days. Looking at them, you might think they were brothers and sister.And in a way they were. Brothers. Sister. Fearful that Hiram Lodge might catch up to them.

'Hi, this is Betty. Leave a message.'
"Hey, Betty, it's me.I'm just trying you again, hoping you're okay.We're just looking for a place to settle down. I'll let you know when we do. Okay. Uh I love you. Bye.", jug says into the phone while Archie and I are sitting beside each other on a bench.
"Still no answer? Look, Jug, Izzy, maybe you two should go back. I'm fine. Really, guys, I'm gonna be fine."
"Archie, no offense, but Betty took down a serial killer last year.", I say.
"You can't go for five minutes without being kidnapped or getting the crap kicked out of you. That was before you were marked for death by Hiram Lodge."
"It would be nice to stop looking over my shoulder all the time, - just find somewhere to settle, you know?"
"We will. When we find the right place, we'll know. We're gonna feel it."
"Or maybe we're already there.", Archie points out there is a house with a big farm, but it looks sketchy to me, I don't care anymore, really.
"Nice try. Let's get a couple more miles in before nightfall."
"Really?"
"Come on, Jug. We gotta bunk somewhere."

"You're trespassing. Now, let's see you do a little turn, nice and slow.",we put our stuff down and slowly turned around.
"Who are you?", a woman with a low ponytail said.
"I'm Cal. This is Biff and this is Faith. From Centerville.", Jug said.
"I don't like liars. Shoot 'em, Gracie.", Gracie, I believe points the gun at us, before Archie, I mean Biff walks towards them.
"Wait! Wait. We got robbed on a train. They took all our money. We've been walking for days. Just We're looking for some food and some water, and we'll be on our way."
"Put the rifle down."
"I don't trust them."
"Do as I say."
"I'm Laurie Lake."
"This is Gracie. You three like stew?"

We were all eating together and Archie asked a question.
"So, where's everyone else? I only meant a farm this size, I thought there would be more people working it."
"A lot of the men in town are at a job down the river. Our father and our brother went with them, but they come back every now and then.", Laurie said.
