I went back to the camp. I still wasn't too sure about what had happened. Gran was waiting outside her trailer. I didn't look at her. I went into my carravan already to go to bed. The boys had come earlier and were playing a game of poker. I sat this one out.

"Where's Ferka?", I asked.

" Donno", said Iaan. "Haven't seen him the whole day."

I didn't think much of it at the time. I watched as the others played but I was thinking about life outside the kumpania. Would I ever be able to live forever in one place? I was so used to travelling.  My phone rang.

" Stefan, d'ya know where Ferka is?", asked Karl.

" No." Ferka came in that moment. " He's just got here."

"Look boy I know you're family but listen an' do de right ting".

I felt faint after what I heard. Ferka was sitting silently across the room and then I felt angry. I pounced and beat him up a lot before the others got a hold of me.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!!!", I kept on screaming. Just then we heard police sirens blaring. There was a knock on the door. Iaan opened it. "We're here to arrest Ferka for stabbing Frank, the lawyer."

"Woah...that's a bit extreme!", snapped a nervous Onas who held onto Ferka like anything. " My brother's not a person to hurt a thing and besides we know Frank."

The kumpania had got out to see what all the commotion was about.

"There are three eye witnesses in this case sir."

Every one stared at Ferka shocked. He was trembling. One of the officers went and handcuffed him, cautioned and led him away. We just stared after them while Dad and Uncle Pesha argued with the officers. Everyone stood there like that for  a while staring at the car as it left. Aunt Rhoda just stood with her hands over her mouth while an expressionless Nana held onto her.

I went over to my truck and got it started and left. I hadnever been to the hospital before. I didn't even know why I was going?
