For three months she went looking for her murderer, completely lost, until she met a boy wearing ragged who talked to her:
- What are you doing in the forest?
- I'm looking for someone...
- I can help you if you want, you know...
- So, I'll tell you the truth: I'm looking for the murderer of my parents.
- That's not a problem, I've been a thief and I want to make amends. By the way my name is Tom .And you?
- My name is Mary.
Then, they started to walk through the forest and they finally found a foot path that they decided to follow. They walked during six hours. During this time Mary asked Tom about his past:
- How was your childhood?
- Well, I was abandoned by my parents so I grew up in the street that's why I had to learn how to steal. What about you?
- Oh, it wasn't very exciting...
Mary thought that Tom was very nice nevertheless his defaults.
Later they discovered a little cottage in a glade. Tom used to his spy skills to hear the inhabitants' conversations. After ten minutes he returns to Mary and told her that two persons were talking about a man who was corresponding to Mary's murderer's description.
Suddenly, a man gets out of the cottage and Mary said that they should follow him. They arrived in front of a house just next to a city. A man was waiting on the doorstep. Mary recognized him immediately and she ran to him. Her killer stopped her and told her “Why are you here? I killed you”. Tom looked at Mary strangely:
- What?
- I've lied, I'm a ghost and now I have to take my revenge!
- No, you can't do that, revenge isn't a solution. It won't bring your parents back and you'll never be in peace.
Mary started to cry, looked at tom and told him:
- You're right; please make sure he'll be judged to pay his acts.
