"Yeah, these are hard times." Ace kicked a rock that was under her foot. "I've been alone for a while, so it's nice to have someone to talk to." A smile spread across her face. For all she knew Ace was and only child, she never knew her parents and grow up in an older couple's house. But they were attacked and she has been on the run since. "If I see him I'll be sure to tell you. How long have you been looking for him?"
"I'm sorry that you've been on your own too- it's really too bad how many people are being left like that lately.." She trailed off, then replied to Ace's question, "Oh, about, maybe three weeks now? I can't be sure… It's just seemed like forever.. We grew up together, and I've spent every day of my life with him until now…. I shouldn't have let him go out by himself," Reck started to ramble, worry starting to seep back into her voice. She was constantly blaming herself for Cheer's disappearance. It was easier to blame herself than to face the facts.
