"Um, I saw him going to the north entrance of town," she responded her hands holding each other.

"Anywhere in particular?" Hatta asked.
"Mnm," the girl shook her head, "I just saw him going that way."
He nodded. "Alright. Thank you."
The little girl smiled and gave him a nod. She walked away shortly afterwards.
He started walking in the direction of the north entrance.
Aliana watched her captor in the room.
The man sighed, shaking his head.
Aliana was silently holding her breath waiting to see what would happen.
He cleared his throat, shaking his head.
Aliana finally had to breath in and out.
He glanced over at her, cocking his head.
Aliana froze up again as he looked to her.
He gave her a faint smile, and looked away again.
Aliana tried not to react to his smile. It didn't feel natural.
He ran a hand over his face, thinking.
The more time passed the less hopeful Aliana became of anyone coming to help her.
Hatta was looking for her, frowning as he looked around.
One of the other townsfolk walked up to Hatta, "You wouldn't happen to be the fella looking for the girl?"
Hatta looked over, and nodded. "Yeah, I am."
"I saw some other fella take her into the big townhouse just off in the north of here," he responded gesturing in the direction with his thumb, "I was on my way home from out of tow when I spotted'em hope that helps."
"Can you guide me there?" Hatta asked urgently.
The man nodded and began walking towards the are, "Yep. Follow me."
Hatta followed him, anxious.
The man hobbled along the path leading towards the townhouse.
Hatta followed, fidgeting with his hands a little bit.
He walked up to a lone path towards a little way north of the town, "This is it. Glad I could help ya."
Hatta nodded. "Yeah. Thank you so much." he replied, looking at the man.
The man nodded and gave him a smile before wandering back to town.
Hatta walked to the building.
