AlanAstra was a very unlucky girl, literally. Alan's guards saw a flash of her silvery hair as the little girl tried to hide, and the rightmost one spoke to their commanding officer:
"That seems like the little girl the Overseer wanted us to find. Should we nab her?"
"No," was Alan's reply. "Let her find refuge in the library; this will give me more cause to blackmail the librarian." He chuckled. "Let's see how
he deals with the battle between his 'morals' and his fear of me."
And with that, he left.
Perhaps Astra hadn't been as unlucky as she thought, after all...
ParAfter Par sold his guns for more caps, as well as dried mussels, grain, maize, and crudely purified water - Liberty Island still had a few water purifiers - he boarded his truck and began to head for The Library again...
