Chapter 371 A Perilous Inheritance: #86

• "One night we were walking after dinner by a building that had burned to the ground that day near to where we were staying," Krista continued. "We had heard that they had found bodies in the building. We were crossing this small alley-like street when we heard a woman call out for help, a western woman, not a local, because she was calling for help in English, not Brazilian. I went charging into the alley and -- I'm supposed to call him hero?"
• "Just for now," Mr. Smithers said, smiling.
• "Well, hero followed after me," Krista explained. "I saw this woman pinned down on the ground by a big guy and another one holding her hands and arms above her head. Then I heard a voice in the shadows say just hurry up and then kill her and get me that braid. That's our proof for Quinn. At the same time, hero came flying by me and kicked the big guy in the back of the neck and knocked him off of the woman, then went for the guy holding her arms. I saw the guy who had talked step out of the shadows and he had a gun in his hand. There was a big knife on the ground in front of me. I picked it up and stabbed at him and his gun went off. The other guy wriggled loose from hero and ran away. The woman, well, it was Susan, looked in a pretty bad way. Her dress was pretty much gone and she had bruises. Hero picked her up and carried her back to our place."
