Chapter 10.
10 am. In front of a harbour, a man shipping out some fruit found her body. Battered, bruised, you name it. A woman as old and frail was treated with so much inhumanity. It was obvious.

"I need to leave."
"we`ll leave together; you can't go out there without me."
"I need to see her, I need to save her."
"You can't save her this time..." Aliyan said, looking away. He knew, too. We were both guilty, both responsible for her death.
