"Are you sure about this?" I ask Kristen because I don't want to think she's doing this out of pity.

"I know," Kristen puts her hand on my arm and looks at me with pleading eyes.

And I know I can't even say no to her.

"Fine. But he has to be away from you, everyone is a suspect. He can't stay here but I'll provide food and shelter for him," I say.
