need no donuts.” Bladie follows Chunky Stan anyway.

       I sit there and becode the words.

      Yet again, I don’t know what they said. So, I guessed. A million questions fly through my head, so fast I can only catch a few.

  

 

I arrive at my destination, Sam and Ruby are coming out the door.

       “Hey, Mia.” Ruby says a I walk up. “Hon, what’s wrong?” Clearly she can see the look on my face.

       “They took my dad and brother away and were chasing me.” I look Ruby in the eyes as they grow in shock.

       “WHAT! Why?”
       “They did drugs and drank, they thought I would give them information.” I look at my shoes.

       “Where will you stay?”

       “I don’t know” I say still looking at my shoes.

       “You can stay with me.” Ruby looks happy.

       “I don’t want to barden you.”

       “Mia, if anything, Ruby would be happy to look after you for a while. You have potential.” Sam says stepping in.

       “Ok.” Ruby says. “Follow me” She walks down the street and stops in front of a ford truck. “Get in” I get in just as a police car turns the corner and comes down the street.  I duck down in the set. “Do you know the officers that are coming?” Ruby, for the first time since I met her, looks nervous.

      “I don’t know. Is there a fat one and a bald one? If so yes.” Ruby nods indicating there is. She turned onto the street in front of the awaiting police car, and I hold my breath.

       As we go further and further away, the more and more I relax.

      “Thank you for helping me.” Ruby nods.

      We drive for twenty minutes without talking and turn on a road with a dead end sign. We drive up the road and come to a beautiful cabin, with an even better porch.

      “You live here” I say as I get past the shock.

      “Yeah, but it’s messy inside.” She hops out and we walk to the house.

      I guess her meaning of messy is a few books on the ground. Compared to my house, it’s heaven. I take off my shoes and walk across the hardwood floor. There is a plush gray couch in the middle and a stand to the side and a light blue chair by that. In the middle of a wall is a huge T.V. I start to walk past the couch and almost make it to the end when I big ball of white and orange fur tackles me to the floor.

 

     I shut my eyes and let out a scream and get ready to throw what ever in is when the ball starts to purr. I open my eyes and see a big fat white and orange with light brown eyes looking back at me. I hear laughing behind me.

     “I should have warned you a spoiled beast  roams this house.” She laughs more and takes a picture. “Her name is tiger” Ruby takes the cat as I remove myself from the floor.

      I walk to the kitchen and see two fuzzballs running around the kitchen. I scream.

      “Rats!”

      Ruby looks at me then at the balls of fur and laughs.

      “What? These two bundles of love? Did I tell you tigers a Mom?”

      Ruby sure has a way of making you feel completely stupid. I look at the fuzzies and can see now that they do look like kittens. One is orange and the other one is black white and orange.

     “Lucky for us they are both girls, because boys stink.” I go down and  pick up the fat orange one.

      Ruby studies for a minute as I walk around her kitchen.

     “What’s your deal?” She says abruptly.

     “My deal? What in the hell does that mean?”  I set the kitten down and meet her glare.

     “Well……… The way you act, and dress. I mean, you're pretty but you cover it up with crappy clothes. I saw it the first time you walked by the store. You might be a good worker but I see you glare into the distance. Like there is a giant black bubble over you head.” She continues to glare at me. She looks down in defeat.

    “Your room can be one of the ones upstairs, probably the one at the top of the stairs.”  She turned away. “Oh, you will pay your keep and I will keep you safe. By the way, the room at the top of the stairs has clothes in it. Probably your size, my daughter left her clothes when she left.”

     I walk into the large room at the top of the stairs. My mine might have peed a little, that's how big it was. I look around the room. I go to lay on the bed but look at my stained work clothes.

     With a sigh I go to the closet and my heart stops for a beat. It is the biggest walk in closet I have ever seen. Clothes line the walls. From skirts to pants to shorts to skirts to shirts and dresses. Shoes line the floor.

      “Yeah, she had a lot of clothes.” Ruby says.

      " Yeah" 

      The phone rings and she goes to get it. I look back to the closet. I hear her talk and then rush up the stairs. 

      She reaches the room, out of breath and panic on her face. 

     " They know where you are and there coming."
