"I am with my friend." she whispered. "You saved my life... again." She looked at him; a shadow of his former self. He seemed smaller perhaps. His lack of confidence and pride leaving him deflated maybe. In some ways, she saw herself in JP. She had been in his position in the past at the hands of the same men. She had been saved by a friend and she hoped that she could be as good a friend to JP.

" she paused for a moment and looked at the gun lying on the table in front of him. "... if you do this, then they win." She stared at him not really sure whether he was hearing her. She moved from her chair... moved onto her knees at his side and placed her hands on his thigh looking up at him. "Please JP. Don't... dont leave me on my own. I need you... I... I want you...."
