Silas remembered that the children were in his handmade mattresses and thought pity on them but he knew that the had to leave. He let the boy he had taken from the store go, but kept his bat. The boy woke up to Silas hovering over him. Silas gave him the bat and said, "Leave"
The boy said, "Okay." He then picked up the bat and the little girl and started to walk.
