i dont know man ; maybe a couple of guards . we have trouble with these sorts of requests all the time . joy and happiness rained over me and i felt the breath leave my chest a little . the guard was almost on them . there was a man traveling along the road . the horrified mother said , grabbing her son and pushing him behind her body for protection , as if she was worried cooper might attack . the memory of her favorite hiding place back home made her look in the closet again , more carefully .
