Roy Lissy woke up with his daughter in his arms, he slowly removed himself from the bed trying not to wake her up. Dawn was just breaking, she could sleep for a few more hours, besides he needed the time to figure out how they were gonna survive without the income boost his wife gave them.

He took a deep breath of cool air and walked out the door to get to the news and his mail from one of the caravans. The news they brought was the only way he could learn of any conditions he could take advantage of as a merchant. Real opportunities were usually few and far between, but in recent months he'd been checking his mail, the news, and rumors religiously. They were his only hope, if he didn't find his "Big Break" soon He and Jack would die.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Roy looked up at the familiar voice and made a crooked smile.

"It's nothing 'Rad," Arada was a former tribal turned trader and one of Roy's best friends even though his caravan only came around once a month."My daughter's just been having trouble with the other kids."

"That poor girl." 'Rad said, shaking his head, "on the flip side you've got some mail, they said they were a good friend."

Roy straightened and turned his head,"From who?"

"I don't know, they didn't say but they paid well. It was kinda weird now that you mention it, they seemed really anxious to leave."

"hmm. That's weird." It was weird, but Roy didn't really pay it much attention, He was just a poor merchant in a tiny trading community, who would care about him if they didn't know him?

"well, here you are monsieur your mail and news. Your tab will reach a payable size in December." He said while giving Roy a small stack of papers.

"That's good 'Rad, hey let's have a beer tonight." he said looking back at 'Rad as he walked back to his house.

"It's a plan." he said as he got back to work.

When he got back to the house, he sat down and decided to read the letter he'd gotten. After sitting down at his desk he opened the letter and as he read he sat straighter and straighter, he felt a lump form in his throat.

Dear Mr.Lissy
My name is Sandra, and I worked with your wife. I and my associates understand your situation. But before anything else,you must learn, your wife didn't tell you everything about what she did when she was away.That said, you and child are in imminent danger starvation. If you agree to meet us at Breaker's Peak, I can guarantee that you never will.

Didn't really involve your character, and really sort of felt like a fragment more then anything.
