[J] Who have we here?

[Anann Kelevra]

Anann had been in the library. Looking through some of what had been taken from the courthouse and kept there until they could determine which of the written volumes were worth keeping and which would be of better use as fire tender. Though that was not what Anann was up to today, the sorting of the books would have to wait until she could find the time or someone suited to the task, but that was far from a priority at this stage. What the Luna had been looking for was a way to locate any old hardware stores, without having to search every little town and settlement that the humans had left behind. All see needed were a few maps and few phone books. The phone books were the hard part despite the fact that they were actually quite plentiful, but their thin pages more often than not had rotted to nothing or matted together in an inseparable block.

Anann had found a couple of the books she had been looking for. Neither were in great condition, but it was a start for narrowing the search. She was headed back towards the courthouse when she noticed Hadley hurrying through the front gate. He appeared to have something cradled in his arms and had a rather concerned look on his face. "Hadley, is everything alright?" she called out as she trotted up to him. Anann was unable to see what it was that he was carrying, though she didn't think the timid male would bring anything threatening into their home, but there was something about the way that he was acting that had her thinking that not everything was okay.
