“Fine. Get me out of here.”
Taniquia unlocks the cuffs and leads you
through an empty hallway to the back door of the police station.
“Where are all of the cops?” you ask.
“Don’t worry about that right now,”
Taniquia answered. “Instead you should be worrying about how you are going to
get out of the country without being arrested again.”
“That’s it!” You finally yell. “I’m not
taking another step until you tell me what is going on.”
“I’m sorry,” says Taniquia. “Telling you
would just put you in even more danger. You are going to have to leave the
country. When you get to Greece, there will be a fake identity waiting for
you.”
“Greece? Fake identity? What about my
family?”
“If you love them, you will never try to
contact them again. It is the only way to keep them safe,” Taniquia answers.
Soon you are on an flight to Greece,
hundreds of unanswered questions floating around in your brain. In your bag, is
an identification card with your picture and a new name. You hope your new life
as Kay Demitropolous will be less confusing than the life you are leaving
behind.
As the plane crosses the vast Atlantic
Ocean, you drift off to sleep, thinking of the family you will never see again except
,perhaps, in your dreams.
THE END
