前传4—Unwritten Rules不成文的规则(12)
"But I didn't pay--"
"My treat. Good luck, you'll need it. Hurry and go."
I clenched my sister's hand and we scrambled to the far door. I turned my head at the last second to catch the cashier opening the door to meet the by standing men, baton in hand, just before one of the men would land a blow. Thankfully I don't think Xhianei saw it.
I glanced up at the sky to find the setting sun. From the back of the shop I did what I was told: four blocks north and two blocks west. We fled as fast as we could and stopped at a large house at the end of our trail. A sign adorned the front yard and a pretty cobblestone path marked the way from the road to the front porch.
"This must be it," I said, panting. "Xhianei, could you take this bag of stuff and put it in my backbag?"
She took the bag of food and stuffed it in the bag as best as she could, refastening the top.
I looked back to the house and my heart pounded. This is what we came all this way for, and the dimly-lit sign ensured us of that. We set foot on the cobblestone walking path to mark our final steps of this voyage, finally stepping up onto the porch. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
