Dawn
We"re leaving tomorrow whether we"ve convinced the chief to help us or not. Captain Collins sent us a message that he can"t wait any longer. He needs to get back to St. Louis, the smugglers" port in Texas.
Lucas is wheeling me through the village even though I woke up this morning feeling weaker. I"m supposed to be on the mend. I"m grumpy and didn"t even want to leave my bed, but Lucas made me. He thinks the fresh air will do me some good. The nurse didn"t agree, but Lucas ignored her objections.
We move through the market watching goods change hands. I keep an eye out for Corey. He told me that he was headed here when he left the compound, but I"ve seen no sign of him or Matty. I asked Ryan about them. He said that they probably never made it here or else he would have heard about
