AUTHOR NOTE: The first forty chapters are written in various points of view but often from a male perspective. This is story is a primarily female voiced story. After chapter 44 the split is about 90/10 female to male. The story arc demanded that the male characters are well fleshed out because most of the rest of the story is about the lead female and her story arc. I hope that helps to answer some questions.

"It looks like food is getting scarce out here. When was last time you ate?" she continued.
Savanah sighed heavily, "The kittens have gone a couple days. Matt and I have been longer. We can't get food out here anymore since more kids started showing up. They started ratcheting out funds to the shelter and the orphanage only if they comply with sending kids to juvenile hall."
"It's my fault." Matt said, hanging his head. "My father is so determined to bring me in that he's putting a hurt on all of us. I keep telling Savi I should just go back. Take my licks but…"
"Matt no…" Savanah said with true fear in her eyes then she turned to Ana. "I barely kept him alive when Mack brought him to me. I thought he was gonna die, for real."
