"If you knew that you could escape safely, would you" I asked. "Yeah, and what happens if things go wrong, he meant it when he said he would kill me" ...he replied. "OK let's consider what could go wrong, if he didn't know where you were nor had any way of finding you what could he do.? I meant it when I said I would help you and as long as you play it straight with me I'll make sure he doesn't get to you."Mixed expressions crossed her face, fear, hope, confusion and finally rebelliousness, "yes.
