Sarah and Aiden are in the clearing behind their house, with their kids (and Jesse) seated on the ground facing them.
Aiden explained that newcomers will get new identities in about a week, and until then they should not leave the property under any circumstances.
"We have few rules. I don't want to be harsh, but if you break them, you are on your own, understood?" Aiden's authoritative voice made everyone nod.
Sarah smiled. Both of them know that they will not just kick the kids out, but they need to sound firm if they want to be taken seriously. After all, they are facing a bunch of teenagers.
Aiden was listing house rules, such as that: kids need to respect each other, leaving the property without permission is not allowed, talking with outsiders about what is happening here is not permitted, etc.
