Coldly, he wondered if whoever was in his house could be the same person who had murdered his father. His house was torn up just like his father's had been. Could they have been waiting for him as they had waited for his father? Could it be the same person? Richard wished he could have confronted him, or at least seen who it was, but something inside him had strongly warned him to get away.　　

He gave himself a mental shake. He was letting his imagination have too free a rein. Of course something inside had warned him of danger, warned him to get away. He had already gotten away with his life when he shouldn't have once this day. It was foolish to trust in luck once; twice was arrogance of the worst kind. It was best to walk away.　　

Still, he wished he could have seen who it was, been sure there was no connection.1 commentTweetThe nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-90-yellow-c-203_205.html">nike air max 90 yellow+ 2012 boasts a tremendous range of colorblocking possibilities thanks to its layered Hyperfuse construction, but even with all this modern technology at work, some of the best colorways all year have been the most basic.. Why would someone tear his house apart, as his father's had been torn apart? What if it was the same person? He wanted to know who had killed his father. He burned to know.　　

Even though he had not been allowed to see his father's body at his house, he had wanted to know how he was killed. Chase had told him, very gently, but he had told him. His father's belly had been cut open and his guts had been spread out all over the floor. How could anyone do that? Why would anyone do that? It made him sick and light-headed to think of it again. Richard swallowed back the lump in his throat.　　

"Well?" Her voice jolted him out of his thoughts.　　

"What? Well, what?"　　

"Well, did you get whatever it was you went to get?"　　

"Yes."　　

"So what was it?"　　

"What was it?

I had to get my backpack."　　

She turned to face him with both hands on her hips and a scowl on her face. "Richard Cypher, you expect me to believe you risked your life to get your backpack?"　　

"Kahlan, you are coming close to getting kicked." He couldn't manage a smile.　　

Her head was cocked to the side, and she continued to give him a sideways look, but his remark had taken the fire out of her. "Fair enough, my friend," she said gently, "fair enough."　　

He could tell Kahlan was a person who was used to getting answers when she asked a question.

As the light faded and colors muted into grayness, Richard started thinking of places to spend the night. He knew of several wayward pines along the way that he had used on many occasions. There was one at the edge of a clearing, just off the trail ahead.1 commentTweetThe upcoming VNTG and EM renditions of nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-1-yellow-c-203_206.html">nike air max 1 yellow classics act like opposites of one another, with one going the rewind route and adding some aged yellowing and the other upgrading the build with Engineered Mesh.czfnk04. He could see the tall tree standing out against the fading pinks of the sky, standing above all the other trees. He led Kahlan off the trail toward it　　

The tooth hanging around his neck nagged at him. His secrets nagged at him. He wished his father had never made him the keeper of the secret book. A thought that had occurred to him back at his house, but he had ignored, forced itself to the front of his mind. The books at his house looked like they had been torn apart in a rage. Maybe because none was the right book. What if it was the secret book they were looking for? But that was impossible; no one but the true owner even knew of the book.

He knew that back home winter would be raging. Despite the turmoil around him, Richard felt an inner tranquillity knowing that Kahlan was most likely to be warm and snug in the house he had built; in that light, nothing in his new life was of enough importance to distress him. She had food to eat, firewood to keep her warm, and Cara for company. For now, she was safe. Winter was wearing on and in spring she would be able to leave, but, for now, Richard was confident that she was safe. That, and his thoughts and memories of her, were his only solace.　　

People without rooms huddled in the alleyways, using whatever scrap of solid material they could find to prop up over themselves for a roof. Walls were fashioned from sodden blankets.1 commentTweetThe nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-90-yellow-c-203_205.html">nike air max 90 yellow+ 2012 boasts a tremendous range of colorblocking possibilities thanks to its layered Hyperfuse construction, but even with all this modern technology at work, some of the best colorways all year have been the most basic.. He supposed that he and Nicci could continue to do the same, but he feared Nicci falling ill in the cold and wet - feared that then Kahlan, too, would fall ill.　　

Nicci checked the paper she carried. "These places on this register they gave us are all supposed to be available for people newly arrived - not just for people on a list. They need workers; they should be more diligent in seeing to it that places are available. Do you see, Richard? Do you see how hard it is for ordinary people to get along in life?"　　

Richard, hands shoved in his pockets, shoulders hunched against the wind and rain, asked, "So, how do we get on a list?"　　

"We will have to go to a lodging office and request a room. They can put us on a housing list."　　

It sounded simple, but matters were proving far more complex than they sounded.　　

"If there aren't enough rooms, how will being on a list get us a place to stay?"　　

"People die all the time.?With a distinct gradient perforation that can't be compared to all that many designs in history, Hussein Chalayan's Puma Haast places its name alongside standouts like the Air Moire and its nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-2011-yellow-c-203_204.html">nike air max 2011 yellow 90 Current hybrid.."　　

"There's work here, that's why we came - that's why everyone else has come.　　

I'll work hard and then we can afford to pay more. We still have a little money. We just need to find a place that wants to rent a room for the right price - without all this list foolishness."　　

"Really, Richard, are you that inhumane? How would those less fortunate ever get rooms, then? The Order sets the prices to stop profiteers. They make sure there is no favoritism. That makes it fair for all. We just need to get on a list for a room, and then everything will be fine.1 commentTweetThe upcoming VNTG and EM renditions of nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-1-yellow-c-203_206.html">nike air max 1 yellow classics act like opposites of one another, with one going the rewind route and adding some aged yellowing and the other upgrading the build with Engineered Mesh.czfnk04."　　

Watching the glistening cobbles before him as he walked, Richard wondered how long they would be without a place until their name worked its way to the top of a list. It looked to him as if a lot of people would need to die before his and Nicci's names came up for a room - with more yet waiting in turn for them to die.　　

He stepped first to one side and then the other to avoid bumping into the river of people swirling past, making their way in the opposite direction while trying to stay out of the mud of the street. He considered again staying outside the city - a lot of people did that. But there were outlaws and desperate people aplenty who preyed on those who were forced to stay out in the open where there were no city guards. Were Nicci not opposed to the idea, Richard would have found a place farther out and built a shelter, perhaps with some other people so that they could together discourage trouble.
