The two, tired men walked. They walked for miles, not stopping even once. Before long, sirens could be heard in the distance. The tall Swedish man looked to Tino as they stopped on the dirt road.

"... do you think?" He questioned, not even having to finish his sentence.

"Yeah... c'mon, lets get off this road. They're probably not going to leave the main path tonight... its dark and they don't know what they're looking for. They'll wait until morning before they really start looking..." Tino said.

The Finnish man had had his share of experiences with the law. Living on the streets was a hard life, and he wouldn't deny that sometimes he may have resorted to theft and other (not so practical) ways of getting what he needed to survive with the measly funds his job provided. He knew how the officers of the law worked, he knew they wouldn't set out a large search party for a murderer the first night. Not only that- But Tino hadn't seen anyone else on the street when the man attacked him. Maybe their was no witnesses... Which means the police would know what berwald looked like. That was a plus.

Berwald nodded, letting Tino lead him off the main road and into a thick brush that surrounded the shore of a small stream. They slowly slipped into the tall brush, and all the way through to the shallow stream. They rolled up the bottoms of their pants and took off their shoes and socks as they trekked through the water.

After a while, Tino motioned for berwald to follow him to a small, dirt bank area. It also was enveloped in overgrown brush. once at the bank, both almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

"This should be good... I think we're going to have to spend the night here..." Tino mumbled, laying on his back and looking up to the night sky, which was cluttered with clusters of beautiful stars.

"Ja... i don't think i could w'lk 'nother st'p if i tri'd." Berwald whispered, lying beside Tino. he put his arm around The smaller, Finnish mans waist and pulled his body close.

"Tack* Fin..."

"se on okei* Su-san..."

*tack- thanks

*se on okei- it's okay
