"How are you, did you find him?" I requested that I pick up Santos' phone call right away.
"Calm down, babe, we just got him out, and we're on our way to the hospital; he passed out immediately after we rescued him because of the shock." He stated.
"Just give me the address and I'll be right there," I said.
"Don't worry, babe, it's already past 2 a.m., you should wait until daybreak," he suggested, but I insisted, "it will be dangerous." He added

"Now, get up and run until you can't anymore, and make sure no one sees you while you follow the back door, okay?"

After 17 years,"I believe I'm running low on supplies; what should I do, old man?""Follow that woman who came here a few years ago," he said matter-of-factly."What? That is not what I asked for; I cannot be under anyone else's control again. I've been fighting for myself, and I'm still alive. So why should I follow her old man?""Come, come and sit here," he tapped, and she walked over and sat next to him."In this life, we don't always get what we want right away. We have to struggle or fight for it. I'm not trying to evict you from here, Cynthia, but it'd be selfish of me to keep you to myself while you're on a mission."What are you trying to say, old man?"
