*~*~*~*

Dramble perched precariously, sitting on a low stone wall, massaging his sore feet and wondered whether the annoying black bag disguise had been a poor choice. It seemed whenever he came near a group of black hooded men or boys, they took advantage of his masquerade as a girl and he had to make an abrupt escape. It insinuated that Alama Masu women were fair game for any Alama Masu man if they were alone and unprotected by a chaperone.

Dramble felt a perplexing sinking feeling, deep within the pit of his gut and for the first time, he was uncertain of his ability to find Elly.

A precipitous commotion approaching from his right disturbed him and in a fluid move he dropped over the wall, but when he landed, the black bag tangled around his neck and exposed his trousers. Remembering the attention from Alama Masu men, he quickly and coyly pulled down his hem, covering his jeans again.

Boy, it’s tough being a woman, Dramble complained bitterly to himself.

Then keeping well out of sight and using the stone wall for cover, he watched an exhausted blonde escapee hurdling obstructions and trying to outpace a group of pursuing black hooded men. Judging by the outfit and the absence of the ugly mark on his forehead, this fine looking fugitive was not of the hooded people.

Dramble was intrigued and didn’t feel quite so alone, knowing another human being didn’t fit into the weird and cloying society of the black hoods.

In an exhausted attempt to clear another obstacle and just in front of Dramble’s line of view, the man crashed to the ground.

Dramble drew himself up, but before he could offer assistance to the fallen figure, the black hoods were all over him, jabbering in a joyous commotion, but completely overlooking the unchaperoned and hiding form of a young hooded girl just metres away from their celebrations.

At a safe distance, Dramble followed the festive band and kept watch; maybe the blonde man’s unfortunate capture would lead him to other unmarked people and possibly, his beloved Elly.

This was the most positive lead he had had to date, but not so good for the incarcerated refugee.
