I know it's short again but it gets longer once I get to Sira's house, I promise.

Al's POV

"there's talk of giving up the search. It's been four years already and we still don't have a clue where they are." The train slowed to a stop and I quickly fold up the letter, still marveling at how I can actually feel the paper with flesh fingers, and stick it in the envolop. Sealing it we get off the train and I drop it off at the neareast post box. "Why are we back in Rush Valley? we've already looked h.." my train of thought is interupted by two women passing by.

"You would think a woman who buys atuomail would need it"

"Exactly, so why would Sira buy it if she doesn't need it?"

"I hear it's something to do with why she's become so distant these last few years

"You don't say"

The women turned a corner and disappeared from sight. Looking at each other we take off running, tracking down the woman we politely ask who the Sira was and where she lived. After the woman give us directions to her house we thank them and hurry towards Sira's house, which is just outside Rush Valley, "I just hope we get there in time"
