Troubled didn't mean good things. Not to Little Rock, not to anyone who knew even a little bit of adult speak. Troubled meant trouble, meant couldn't take care of herself. Not something needed in a desperate fight for survival. Which would explain Little Rock's totally incredulous look as he made the request of her. There were the two of them. That was enough of a liability, in her book. Crazy ladies could go take care of themselves.
