The sky was a bleary dark gray. The weather was very cold; winds whipped through the air and were as cold as ice. Occasionally, there was a loud clap of thunder, loud enough in some cases to wake the dead. The dark, desolate road that Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire walked down as they left town that miserable day, suitcases in hand, was completely deserted except for them. To them, this sort of day was completely normal in woeful, miserable lives like theirs. And this day was no better. On the run for a murder they did not commit, they had found themselves on this road looking for a good, decent hiding place, but had no luck so far in finding one.
"We've been searching all day for a hiding place, and have not found one decent hiding place. And no way in the world am I hiding in a bush again." Violet said, sound slightly irritated.
"Creesha!" shrieked Sunny, which most likely meant "I agree with you one hundred percent."
Violet smiled at Sunny, who she was carrying in her arms. "Yeah, at least you agree with me." she said and both girls turned around and glared at Klaus.
"What! I thought a bush was better than nothing." Klaus exclaimed.
Violet rolled her eyes at him and said "A bush is not comfortable, not warm, and definitely an obvious hiding spot for someone who is walking along the road and looking for another person."
"Well, do you think any hiding place right now would be comfortable, warm, and not obvious right now?" Klaus said. "Everything in our lives has been anything but that since the fire and Count Olaf began getting on our tails for our fortune."
"Deenana!" shrieked Sunny, which meant something along the lines of "Klaus has a point. I don't care where we hide now, just as long as no one finds us for a very long time." Violet thought about what her brother and sister had said, and it didn't take long for her to realize both were right. Nothing had been very comforting in their lives since their parents had perished in the fire and Count Olaf had begun pursuing them for their fortune. And right now, it truly did not matter where they would hide now, just as long as it was a place where no one could find them until (hopefully) their names were cleared.
"You know, you both are right. All we should care about right now is finding a hiding place where we can stay for a long time and where no one will find us until everything is hopefully sorted out." Violet said.
Klaus just smiled at her and said "Well, let's get going and continue to search for that perfect place."
