A MYSTERY SOLVED?

Someone is using Dad's computer to look at the Sasha blogs.

Mm I wonder who it is? He's looking at Jenni blog What does it say? " Yes I Lucas!"

He looks very interested in the little boy Lucas? on the screen...
Oh now the little boy on screen is saying Connor is a good boy!

Why these two could be twins! I wonder what this lad is thinking....

Well he must be hot because he's removed the oversized sweater and mittens he was wearing and he is looking very happy!

A short time later we come across the lad again...

He appears to be searching through the baby and toddlers socks that Elton Ron brought back from Aunty Gill's as payment for all his help.

Look Aimee and Gertie are hiding amongst the fallen trugs watching the boy!
they are whispering to each other
" Who is that boy? " says Aimee
" Looks like he's up to no good if you ask me !" Gertie whispers back " I bet he is stealing those new socks!"
"Gertie! " says Aimee nearly raising her voice and giving the game away " You don't know that! He may just be tidying up!"
Gertie rolls her eyes " What a toddler tidying up!!are you mad!"
Aimee takes no notice and whispers back " I'm going closer " and with that she creeps forward round some trugs

The little boy appears to be studying the socks, he mumbles " Don't like pink!" and starts to pick socks up and place them in a trug.

Once he's filled his trug with all but the pink socks he looks straight at Aimee whose moved quite close.
" Hello" he says in a friendly manner.

Aimee moves closer still as she says hello back then asks " What are you doing with those new baby socks? "
The little boy looks at Aimee with a steely glare for a moment before smiling and looking friendly again
"I'm putting them in this blue thing " " Trug " say Aimee helpfully " Oh trug " says the boy " So I can carry them away "
Gertie whose moved closer whispers loudly " Take them off to sell !"

"Pardon!" says the boy looking steely eyed again
" I ah It was not me it was my friend who spoke " stutters Aimee her face going red " Would you excuse me a moment "
She goes back to where Gertie is hiding

" Why did you say that!" demands Aimee
" Because He looks like a crook !" states Gertie from behind the trugs
" He is tidying them up just like I said " says Aimee smugly
" He looks like that bad boy who lives with the Ice cream " states Gertie.

"Ice Cream ? " asks Aimee
" Yes The woman who was not very nice to Storm, that Ice Cream "
"Ice Queen !" says Aimee giggling " Not Ice cream, that's a lolly that's melting "
"What's melting !" asks Gertie confused.

" Are you two going to be much longer because I have things to do!" says the boy
" Oh No " says Aimee turning back " Gertie was just saying that you looked like someone we know called
LUCAS!"
The boy glares for a moment then smiles " Lucas? cannot say I have heard of a Lucas my names Connor " he smiles a smile that Gertie thinks is a little chilling

Gertie's still not happy and points to the pinks socks still laying on the floor " Why have you not picked them up too!" she demands
" I Don't like P.. I mean I was just going to put them on the top they are so pretty "

Aimee moves closer again "Where are you from then? "
"The valleys " say Connor
" The Valleys? where's that? " asks Aimee , while Gertie gives him the evil eye!!
" Wales " he says looking sad " My home is flooded and I had no where to go, someone said that I should travel to the Sasha Village where the nice people and bears would look after me " a tiny tear drops down one cheek..
Aimee's lip quivers at this sad tale " Yes it's good you have come here " she words catching in sympathy with his plight " Mrs Mum's friend Jenni walks round in wellie's indoors ! " she confides " because of the floods ! you poor boy you can stay here as long as you want ! " she states firmly .

Connor looks away for a moment Aimee understanding that he is so happy at her offer he needs a moment to stop himself from crying in relief!
While he is turned away Connor's face lights up in a big grin his eyes twinkling at how easy this is!!

Gertie sidles up to Aimee and whispers in her ear " That boys the devil!"
Aimee looks at Gertie in annoyance " Hush ! You'll upset the boy how very uncharitable of you Gertie! I would have hoped for better !"
Then turning away she calls to Connor " Come along with me and we'll get you some dinner you must be starved after your long journey "

Connor follows the little bear out totally forgetting all about the socks he was going to sell in the village!!!
