I need Raelyn to shush, but I don’t want to be rude about it. Not when we’ve just gotten things to a good place. I don’t know why I’m so damn freaked out, but I am. It’s just two guys arguing, but there’s something dangerous about it, and I need to work out what it is before they see us and we get dragged into it.

“We might need to run,” I breathe quietly to Raelyn. “So, be prepared.”

Finally, she managed to lean over me to see what’s going on. Her fingers grip so tightly to my arm as she spots the same thing that I do that she could be causing a bruise. I know she has the same gut instinct as me.

“Should we go now?” she asks me, fear lacing her near silent tone.

“In a moment, let’s just wait for the right moment.” I don’t want to make too much noise; I just need to hold out for a couple of seconds more. “I’ll say when. Just… wait for my signal, okay?”

She nods, putting every scrap of her faith into me, and we just watch. Snippets of curse words burst free, but there’s nothing to give us any indication of what this argument is about. I have seen enough of the world to know that men usually only argue over two things: money and women. That’s probably the case here. They’re fairly young, by the looks of it, but there’s some clear aggravation between them.

“Come on.” Raelyn tugs on my arm, desperation getting the better of her. “I don’t like this.”

She’s right, I know she is. We do need to leave, but there’s something here, fixing me in place. I can sense the danger here, but still something is keeping me in place. “Hold on, wait a moment.”

The arguing becomes increasingly irate. The men start to fight and I wonder if the reason that I’ve stayed is to break this up. I try to separate from Raelyn for a moment so I can run to stop this before it gets out of control, but she grabs my arm and yanks me backwards. She clearly doesn’t want me to go anywhere.

“They’re fighting,” I hiss. “I have to stop them before one of them gets hurt.”

“No, it isn’t our business.” She shakes her head rapidly. “We can’t get involved.”

That attitude actually irritates me. I have the opinion that if the whole world turns their back on one another and no one helps a stranger, then society will all fall apart. Is this going to be a problem with us? I thought that Raelyn and I had overcome all the hurdles, but it seems we have one more…

“I need to help, I can’t just let them beat each other…”

“No, it’s bad. Trust me.” She clutches on to her stomach. “Believe me. I don’t know why, but I just know that you definitely shouldn’t go there. We need to get out of here before something bad happens.”

I stare at her, soaking in the real fear in her eyes.
