One of his boats had ran aground, he had sent the other to deliver his message to their mother. Idiot had now been stranded there for nearly four weeks. Would take them another week to reach him at full speed. And Bruni did not know how his brother would react to news that the contract had to be fulfilled..

She was taken out of the trolley and a leash attached to the collar which had not been removed since the morning. She crawled in the direction of the pull and was sat in a corner, it was a huge space and she could hear loads of trolleys and leash chains around her. About 20mins later a man came over and placed a bowl in front of her, he pushed her face just above it so she knew where it was and said “dinner is served”. She had no idea what it was, but it stunk however she was hungry just hung.
