Gabe looked exhausted, he had dark rings under his eyes and he looked half starved but, a great deal better than when Jonas last saw him. The pale eyed woman nodded her head and the little girl held out her hand and told Gabe to come with her, and they went back the way they came. “Here, have some soup and we can have a nice talk” said the elderly
