Zoey walked into a bakery and put down a pile of flyers on the desk.
“Do you know this man?” a customer read. It was a teenage girl. She looked up. “No, I do not. Is he a convict? Or is he missing?”
“He’s not missing” Zoey said. “He lives in my house. And as far as being a convict, let’s say it’s still undecided”
“Who is he?” the girl asked. She picked up a flyer. “Mind if I take one of these?”
Zoey shook her head. “Maybe you could help”
“Sure, anything you want” the girl said and she and Zoey left the bakery.
“Thanks” Zoey said.
“You haven’t answered my pergunta yet” the girl said. “Who is he?”
Zoey sighed deeply. “He goes por Emmanuel, but that’s not his real name. He doesn’t remember who he is, where he comes from. It’s like his mind’s gone blank and most of the time I really think there’s nothing in there”
The girl laughed.
“Hey, you should come mais often. Alexia misses you” Zoey said.
“Yeah, kind of busy with school, but I’ll try drop por seguinte week” the girl said.
“Sweet” Zoey said. “Okay, dear, I have to get going. Say hi to your parents”
“Sure thing” the girl waved as they separated ways.

She bent on her knees and her hands glided over the earth. She didn’t know what she was going to find, but a strong feeling inside of her told her there was something underneath the earth. Something she needed to find.
And so she started digging with her hands. Soon her hands were wounded and dirty, but she just kept digging.
She carried on for what seemed like hours, her hands bleeding, until her fingers touched something solid. She dug faster and mais fiercely, until she saw the object. When she saw Damon’s body she couldn’t breathe anymore. She covered her mouth and tears rolled over her face. She was too late.
She pulled him out of the pit and held him in her arms.
