I t was rent day for my trailer and yet here I sat, stuck in Fox's house, just as much of a prisoner as ever. I mean, okay, I had a bit of freedom now because technically I was allowed to go out and shit, but he also always assigned either himself or one of the others to go with me if I did, so I wasn’t basking in this new supposed freedom much yet. And with the tracking software he'd placed on my cellphone, I had to make careful consideration about where I went and what I did even if I did head out alone.

I wondered how much attention he could even be paying to it anyway. Was it recording the places I went, or would it just ping back the information to him if and when he looked?

I groaned at the thought of trying to out-fox a Fox and rolled over in my sleep. It wasn't even time to get up yet. I swear, it was some ungodly hour like nine am or maybe even eight. Yuck.

But I needed to get out of here today and give my rent to Joe, go visit my poor, sweet, lonely little trailer and assure her that I wasn't abandoning her. And more importantly than that, I was going to head on up to Rosewood Manor and see if Miss Mabel remembered me.

The old lady who owned the sprawling Manor House out to the east of Sunset Cove, just on the edge of the town limits had been one of, if not the only, adult I'd ever known who actually seemed to give a shit about me.

My mom was a distant, faded memory who I had been informed favoured her drug habit over her kid which was what had landed me in the system. I’d bounced from place to place a lot between different foster families before ending up in the group home down on the shitty side of town. Which in a town like Sunset Cove was saying a lot.

Mary Beth who ran that fine establishment for teenagers had done me the solid of setting a nine pm curfew which she was insanely strict about, providing bland and boring meals which there was never really enough of to fill the ache in my stomach, and yelling as a form of communication. Safe to say, she hadn't made me feel all loved and gooey inside. I guessed the odd teacher had been kind over the years, but not enough to really do anything about my situation or get to know me at all. But Miss Mabel had actually found me and Chase squatting on her property one night and instead of calling the cops, she’d been sweet to us.

We used to be allowed to hang out in the summer house in her sprawling grounds and if we went over there during the day, she'd offer out treats and lemonade. And the five of us had actually managed not to be little assholes
