DECISIONS OUT OF FEAR.
ONLY OUT OF SPITE.

Slade's sister insisted on joining him for a walk with Gilly in the park. This was a task that he much preferred to do on his own for there were far less interruptions and need to prolong the activity. But now with his sister joining him, and more likely to socialize through the process, Slade knew this task would take far longer than anticipated. He knew she held such intentions, using him as a chaperone so that she could most likely speak to a gentleman . . . for there was no other logical reason for her to wish to be near Sir Gilly. Nevertheless, he was left without choice and she was walking alongside him, smiling at everyone they passed while Slade remained stoic, Gilly walking in front of them on a leash so that he may be contained.

As they moved through the park, Slade noticed one of his associates and it did not take him long to approach, under the guise of a friend. But he would not talk business in front of his sister. "Go ahead brother. I will watch him," she assured Rueben, already taking the leash from his hand. Slade was incredibly hesitant but his sister urged him onward. Taking a few steps away to speak for a few moments, Slade remained focused on the conversation, keeping it brief and straightforward. The man owed him money and he assured him he would have the final sum in two days time. Once it was decided, Slade gave a short nod and turned back to where he left his sister.

Only she was not there. Slade looked around, seeing her converse with someone who appeared to be a friend: Lucy Granville. Though that was not what Slade was focused on. What he was focused on was the leash empty of Gilly. Leaning on his cane in quick strides, Slade approached the two women, ignoring his sister attempting to introduce him to Lucy nor offering greeting to the lady. "You were meant to be watching him," he said with irritation in his voice towards his sister. Realization struck his sister as he looked at the leash and eyes widened with feigned horror. Sir Gilly was on the loose.

The day was bright and sunny, it was the perfect day to be outside.  With the sun shining, a gentle breeze blowing it was ideal.  With help of the servants and a few friends Lucy arranged a group to paint in the park.  She found the perfect place where her view was a lovely spot of sun glinting magically off the leaves on the tallest tree.  The colors were bright and as she painted she was humming to herself until she heard someone call her name.

Talking to her friend Lucy was shocked when a man suddenly came over and spoke rudely to her. Wait, who was she supposed to be watching?
