Problem (2)

"Is there someplace the two of you can go to be safe away from men like him? We can't stay here any longer or the guards will find us next to his body. Where do you stay?" Derek squatted down to reach their eye level.

The oldest of the two girls pointed to a piece of cloth under the dead man's foot. "Here. This is our home."

"I see," Derek said, pulling the cloth from under the man's foot. It was covered in dirt and drops of fresh blood. "You can't stay here or more bad men will come and try to take you to a dangerous place. Go to one of the orphanages in town and tell them about your situation."

He would like to take them but staying too long in the town was dangerous especially when he had no backup in case something were to go wrong. Vincent would be beyond piss if he were to be captured by the guards. "I have to go now but I want you to head there right now. Okay? Don't stay here."
