Let's unite-Chapter 8

- My God, said Abigail! That girl must be scared to death. I remember her nightmares after Charles attacked and her father came and said that if she didn't obey, that would be the least of it. Jack nearly had a heart attack that day.

- Come on Bill, we need to go to Gab and solve this problem, Nathan said.

Rose walked to the door and said:

- Wait a minute...

She looked up and saw nothing. Bill and Nathan knew that every policeman had a gun in the silver box. Rose couldn't breathe and when she opened it she turned pale and said: Bill, she took the gun and the six bullets. Nathan asked incredulously:

- Can she shoot?

Bill and Rose laughed.

- Of course she can. Jack taught her before he left for the Northern Territories, because he was going to war and wanted her to know how to defend herself. When Jack died, Charlote taught her a few more tricks. In short, she can even train as a policeman now and laugh a lot.

- If she wants to take her own life with a gun, it'll be even worse. Let's go, and quickly. Nathan said, followed by the others. So the three cars drove off to meet Gab.

When the day dawned in Ottawa, Elizabeth decided to buy sweetbreads for all the children at the orphanage, she had been there for days and decided that this would be a good snack for the children as a thank you for having been welcomed. Leaving Jack still asleep, she ran down the street a few blocks from the orphanage and bought several sweet rolls, she was sure the children would enjoy eating them with a large glass of milk, but on her way back, she saw several men who worked for her father and Charles. She rushed into the orphanage and tidied everything up, but she couldn't carry all that luggage and Jack together, so in a rucksack she put two items of clothing for herself, medicines, toys for Jack junior, and clothes for him, as well as photos of Jack mainly on duty so that his son would always be proud of his father. She walked into the alleyways, she would catch the stage further on, after leaving the city because she was sure that they would check the stage and everyone near the city. She needed to be more than two days away from the stage, and only then would she be close to her cousin Lieutenant Frankison, who was the son of her beloved uncle Colonel Wynn Delany. When she left the room, she left a little note thanking him for his lodging and money, and she also left some money and asked him to buy some sweet bread for the children to make them happy. She walked up the hill with Jack, still sleepy, on her shoulder and her backpack in her hand. At her waist she had the fanny pack with the dagger, poison and gun, as well as the wedding photo and the photo with Alien and Nathan and the letter from Jack Junior. This boy was getting heavier by the day, he was growing like a weed so fast, but for him, she would fight and give her life if necessary. Elizabeth was sure that wherever she was, Jack would be protecting her and her little Jack. . She couldn't trust anyone, her father and Charles were very rich and had a lot of power in their hands and the problem was that both families had no scruples. Elizabeth never imagined that her sister Julia, who had always been her friend or her mother, would do this to her. The other time Charles attacked her at school, she cried several nights after nightmares and told Abigail about it, after which Abigail was a mother to her like her own had never been. The love of Jack and his friends made her smile again after that incident. Her love for Jack grew even more after seeing all the care he took of her. And her students, her children, sang under her window and everyone always shouted we love you. For this reason, and for all the friends who had welcomed her years ago, knowing how to respect her, love her and teach her how to live in a community, it was for all of them that she would never let her father harm any of them; Walking along the road, she now saw a clearing in the forest to the side that seemed to go around the whole town, she entered the forest path following footsteps along the trail made of horses' legs. Jack taught her a little about moving off the road without anyone seeing her. It was difficult with a backpack and a beautiful child with heavy golden curls on her lap. Elizabeth was already tired, but she knew she had to run. She had to get to the road out of town, so she could catch the stage. When she got to a place she thought was safe, she looked at Jack Junior, now awake, and explained...My love, you're already a little man. You're almost 5. Mommy needs you, because there are bad people who want to catch us. When Mommy says police, you'll hide until I call you, just like we practiced. Don't forget, only Mommy, Grandpa Bill, Aunt Rose and Uncle Lee and Nathan can call you and you can come out. Anyone else must stay quiet and hide, no matter what, Mom loves you very much. Never leave before the call we've practiced.

-Ok mom, I promise. sargent wants to run so I hide and sargent has arrived so I leave.

So, son, let's train now, the stage should be here soon, you hide behind that bush only after I call, you come and see me...
