A few armed citizens patrolled the town, which was a security measure rarely employed, but nothing else seemed out of the ordinary. A couple of children dashed hug Mary, and she gave them some candy. One of them said," An awful monster came, and scared us, but he is gone now."
"Really?" said Mary. " I need to talk to the mayor. Where is he?"
"He is in the chapel talking to some other adults."
"Thankyou. You kids be good. Now go play."
The chapel was the place were important meetings were held, but she felt that she must speak to the leader now. The situation might be an emergency.
She entered the building, and presented picture that she had drawn of Adam. She asked if he had been in the town. The mayor said," This does look like the man who stole from us, and killed Edgar. I will tell you more about what happened in a moment. Captain Walton, please have a look at thise pictures."
