She said. You didn't have friends?Les asked.
"I had Liz and Sam. Sam was Pete's son he was two years older then us.
Sam was the closest thing to a boyfriend i had but he had a problem he love both of us she said while laughing.

I was shuting down and deleting all the information.
They didn't want information to leak out I was getting ready to leave they were shutting us down mostly everyone else was gone . "They sold the compound "She Said.
Why were they shutting it down I asked? "Budget cuts the costs of keeping it up was too high."
We thought was a safe place deleting the last computer and I should have been more aware of what was around when felt a buzz on my neck She said.
"I woke with a man over me I thought I was dreaming it my head was buzzing my neck my back my whole body.
Was buzzing from fear and anger I was trying to fight I couldn't get to my knife my hands and feet were tied my knife was in my bra It had to be dream another man came in they started cutting my clothes off. I was screaming then another man with a mask on came into the room .
When he came in I thought I had fallen asleep and was having a bazaar dream he killed them both with a knife he moved like a trained soldier he came toward me.
I thought this is a dream you can't die in a dream unless this is a Wes Craven movie right he cut the ropes off told me to take a shower a shower what the hell kind of dream is this did someone drug me?
I thought what he wants me to be clean before he kills me. I walked to the shower and saw myself in the mirror I was covered in blood she Said. "Not yours" He said.

"I am sitting here hoping to see my baby. She's all grown up now and she's beautiful. The compound has been closed for awhile.
I almost died in Columbia it was close the Ortes Cartel almost killed all of us. They killed my friend Pedro Rodriguez My best friend since high school and his wife Maria.

We didn't know what was coming. My beautiful wife I waited all my life for was dead. I was close to it . They dragging my almost dead body to their van. When Dominic Mario our under cover agent, and good friend came up to them told them to go he wants to talk to the spy. He was bigger then them they listened to him. He hand me a small explosive device he said,"Try to get clear you have two babies to care for". I told Dom if I don't make it take care of my babies. "I'll protect them with my life ." Dom said.
I just saw three men go in to the compound how did they get in I went up to the door it was unlocked . l went through the house looking for Jim I heard a shot found him in the kitchen dead. Then someone said." Before we kill the bitch can we have some fun with her? " "Do what you want I am going to look for bank information I know they left that little bitch money and I want it." Said another voice.

I grabbed one men and I want once the plunged knife into his heart. I cut the second ones throat. There was blood everywhere and all over my baby.
