River had been careful. The few weeks that she had been in this world had taught her how to do that. She knew how to get the credits these people used, diamonds they called them. Where to get food, it was fresh, much nicer than protein bars. And what not to say, never mention that you can read someone’s thoughts or that you used to live on a spaceship. She had been traveling from one town to another when she heard the thoughts: Get the girl, get the man. River frowned. She followed the thoughts. They belonged a man, she didn’t like the looks of him. He wanted to get a girl name Charlie, and through her he would get to Miles. No one should be allowed to use a girl. River followed him and waited until he was asleep. Then she crept over to him slowly. She was going to do this fast. She picked up a stone and started to bring it down on him when his eyes opened and she stopped.
