Richard looked up to the woman. So Haly knew where he was? He would come for him than, when that wound be was yet to be determined but at least he wasn't forgotten. He nodded and moved towards the window as the woman spoke. He had never been to South America before but he had heard stories. As his mind wandered he just barely took note of the woman leaving with her snake before returning with it on the couch. At first Richard made no sign of moving, but as he watched the snake and her handler, he was reminded of the snakes at the circus and how he had sometimes helped to feed them. Slowly, he made his way towards the couch and moved to sit beside the woman. He gently let his fingertips brush part of the snake, drawing back when it turned to look at him.<br/><br/>Suddenly, a series of loud noises could be heard in the next room, causing the boy to flinch and look in the direction the sounds had come from. It sounded like footsteps and angry mutterings. Richard, not realizing it at the time, leaned in closer to the woman, not letting his eyes leave the doorway where he thought he could just make out the shape of a large man.
