"Scorpio?" Father Damien asked, growing pale.
Damien nodded, perplexed by his uncle's attitude. "Yeah. Do you know anything about this?"
"I wish I didn't," Father Damien said, sitting down (Harvey and Esmeralda were down near the river, feeding the ducks). "They know where we are. Now they'll be after us."
"You can stay with me," Damien offered.
"Where do you live?"
"Out in the woods on M-33. To escape from people. You know, music fans."
Father Damien nodded because earlier Damien had told him about his singing career. "Alright [sic], I guess so. For a while."
"And in return, you can tell me about this Scorpio," Damien said.
The red Lamborghini pulled in at the house and the two got out to go in (They'd [sic] brought the kids back to the orphanage). [Note--incorrect capitalization of "they'd." I suddenly can't remember if I should mark this as "sic" or not. Ugh. ZOMG I just looked up "sic" and it actually means "thus written" to indicate errors, not "spelling incorrect"!! I'm mortified!! Well, all over in my writing, "sic" just means "spelling incorrect"!] When they got to the room where Damien's brothers and sister were, the other relatives jumped up and ran to their uncle, each hugging him in turn.
