"Meteors?" Oisin chuckled.

"I know right." Hugo replied. "There's no way that we would miss something like a meteor flying around the sky. What more several meteors. How could we possible miss that?"

"Those military guys are sure dumb, huh?"

"Indeed." Hugo replied. "However, the weirdest part is that they think that whole village is conspiring to cover up this meteor sightings. Why should we? What would we gain from hiding the truth from them?"

"And thus, they are keeping you all prisoners in your own village."

"That sums it up." Hugo replied. "Like I said they're a bunch of dicks."

"Indeed, we had chosen a lousy time to be here." Oisin said casually.

Henry laughed. So, did Oisin and Hugo.

The stormy weather continued. And after tea, Oisin and Henry was ready to leave.

"It's getting late." Oisin said. "We should get going."

"You are welcome to stay."

"Truly, we are thankful for your generosity and all." Henry replied. "But we could not stay."

"Henry's right." Oisin said. "As it is, we already placed you in danger with those dicks, as you put it."

Hugo chuckled.

"At least, let me give you boys something before you." Hugo said. "Wait here."

Hugo went to his room and when he came out, he was carrying a backpack. Immediately, he ransacked his fridge and took some fruits, sodas, bottled water and cheeses. He, then, took a huge bread of loaf near the stove and place the leftover meatloaf in a plastic container. All those foods and beverages, he placed it all in the backpack and gave it Oisin and Henry.

"Oh, we couldn't." Henry said.

"Take it. You will have a long journey ahead of you, guys."

"Your generosity holds no bound." Oisin said as he took the bag from Hugo.

"Now, boys take this path ..." Hugo gave Oisin and Henry directions how to get out of the village undetected by the military.

The boys said their thank yous and goodbyes to Hugo. And, into the stormy night Oisin and Henry walked out from Hugo's house. Hugo stood by the doorway waving goodbye to the boys using his left hand which showed his markings of a bow with an arrow.
