To The Captain

Ning and the rest arrived at the next town over and made their way through to a bad part of the town with vacant houses and houses that weren't taken care of.

Young and old people looked at them suspiciously as they walked through the part of the town, some even clearly wondering if they should rob them.

Tim timidly walked close behind Ning who walked openly with not a shred of distress in his steps.

After walking for a few more minutes, the group arrived at a large house that looked way better than any other in this part of the town.

It was a two-story building with not just plaster on the brick walls, but also white paint that covered it on all sides.

It was a wide building with clearly many rooms just on the front side itself.

A few strong-looking men sat by the front door, playing some sort of game with a bunch of small pebbles placed in a certain pattern. 

One of them looked up at the newly arrived group and stared at them.
