I'm terribly sorry, but at this moment I don't know when my next update will be. The reason is my failing connection to the Internet. This posting is don at school, and this is the last day at school, so I will not be able to do it this way. I'm also terribly sorry that I haven't read the reviews you have posted, for the same reason.

Skinner took a deep sip from the bag with water, and gave it back to Jekyll. Then something flashed before his eyes, a picture of the girl in their company, with her dagger, ready to strike at the lion. He had to ask.

"Why did you get ready to fight it? The lion?" Jacqueline looked up.

"It's the only way. I fight with knives and daggers, because it is the only way I can fight. I'm useless with guns or pistols, or in unarmed combat. As to your question, better me than any of you.

"I fought the lion because I wanted to, because I fight things, because I like to kill. Because I'm too much like my father." Case closed, Skinner thought as they reached dock. But I'm still curious.

There. Not very long, but in 15-30 minutes, that's all I can do.
