[It was strange...We didn't realize it at first, but it was eventually obvious that there was someone else helping out this guy. But there really wasn't anything else we could do. He was gone

Once we made it back home, Maman reprimanded us for not calling for help. But...she was glad we were all okay.

She said that this was her problem now, though. This was something serious and too dangerous for us to deal with anymore, of course.

And when she said not to worry about it...I listened. I mean, he was gone, for now, and the Captain - Maman - was going to deal with him. No problem. I have other things to worry about anyway. Like school. School is hell of a lot harder, I think! Ha ha ha...

Despite that, though...There are times I can't help it...

Deep down, I'm still scared.]
