Shilo was frantically throwing things into her suitcase, her actions being hurried on by the man standing in her bedroom doorway.

"Hurry up kid, we gotta get out of here!"

"I'm trying!" She grabbed her miniature picture of her mother and tossed it into her suitcase, quickly zipping it.

"Alright, let's go." He grabbed her suitcase and she followed him out of her room and down the steps.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs they saw the lights outside her front door.

"Miss, Wallace! We know you're in there!" Someone knocked and she froze.

Graverobber grabbed her hand and gently pushed her behind him.

"Is there another way out?"

"Yeah it leads to the cemetary."

"Go." He turned her and gave her a shove and they took off through the house.

The knocking stopped and was followed by a loud crash and the police attempted to break down the massive oak door.

They stepped into the corridor that would eventually wind it's way to her mothers grave and Graverobbed shut the hidden door behind him and then caught her arm.

"Stay here a minute... catch your breath."

Shilo leaned against the wall with tears stinging in her eyes.

"Why do they want me? What did I do?" He looked at her and winced.

"I don't know kid, but don't worry, you're safe with me."

She bit her lip and looked up at him with innocent, wide eyes and he wished there was something he could do to ease her pain.

"Where will we go?"

"My place... it's not as big and fancy as you're used to but it's safe and nobody will find you."

"I... I had always thought you were homeless..."She giggled slightly.

"No, I'm not homeless, little miss smarty I just don't like the zydrate addicts to know where I live."

On the other side of the door they could hear the police walking through Shilos house and both of them were tense and after a few minutes on the policemen spoke.

"Trash the place."

Shilo made a small noise and moved towards the door Graverobber caught her in his arms before she could go out.

"Kid, it's alright, just hang on."

"No, that's my home... my things... my dads things..." She was crying and he pulled her tiny body a little closer.

"I know. I'm sorry."

The crashing and banging in her house grew louder and Shilo would jump everytime. Graverobber tightened his hold on her, trying to shield her from the world. He held his breath and hoped it would end soon.

By the time they left most of the fight had gone out of Shilo and she stood limp and weak against his strong chest, letting him support her weight. He noticed he was shaking nearly as bad as she was.

"It's ok, Kid..." He tried to soothe her and she reached for the door to her house.

"No, not today... let's just go. You can come back and look at the damage another day."

Shilo nodded and he picked up her suitcase as she led the way out of her mothers tomb.

"I wish I knew what happened to Mag." Shilo said after a few minutes.

"Don't worry, Kid, I'll find her."

Graverobber had been helping Shilo look for her mother's friend but so far his reports weren't good. Nobody had seen of heard from Mag since the opera and people had seen Luigi but he never had her with him or bothered to tell people anything about her.

Rumors flew, some say he had killed her others said he was torturing her at a location nobody knew. Amber was looking for Mag so that meant that either she didn't know what Luigi had done with Mag or she didn't want people to know what they had done to Mag together.

Luigi was money hungry and rumors said Amber offered him alot of money to sell her Mag but nobody knew if he had went through with it or not. Graverobber hoped not but it wasn't looking good for the singer and he didn't want to tell Shilo she was probably already dead.


Author Note: Short I know but since I was just looking for a way to bring in Shilo. I didn't make it too long I don't want her stealing the light from Mag.
