"I'm Christopher. I want to share a story about something I saw that I couldn't understand."

"It all started when I was out on a family vacation. I don't mean just me and my parents. I'm talking about cousins, aunts, uncles, and other relatives. It was more like a combination of a family reunion and a vacation. We all met down in Mexico. I never really got myself into it, so I snuck away and just hung in my room for a while."

Christopher was off to see his whole family down in Mexico, but he couldn't get himself into it. That's just how some people are. Sometimes they just take it for granted they're with their family. That's why he just hung in his room for a while.

"I was simply trying to entertain myself on my phone and tried to enjoy the night sky. I had a good view of the stars with a bright full moon. It was a pretty good view, but that quickly changed when I saw something else going on."

Christopher tried to enjoy himself with his phone. When he had his fill from that, he took a look outside. He had a pretty nice view of the outside, but the joy quickly turned when he saw that there was something else going on outside.

"I looked down to the trees and could see through an opening. The bright moonlight gave me a clear view. I saw at least three guys out there and they looked like they were digging a hole. There's also this one other guy that was pretty big with long hair. He also looked really mad, and all that made him look intimidating."

Seeing three guys dig a hole with shovels and that big scary guy was rather weird. Christopher wondered what they were doing until he spotted something.

"I took a closer look and saw there were two other people there: a man and a woman. The thing was that they were both tied up with tape over their mouths. They looked really scared and were trying to get out of their restraints, but they must have been on really tight."

Christopher saw two other people down there, but they were tied up and it looked like they wanted to escape. This looked rather bad.

"I didn't like how this was looking, so I had my phone ready for 911, but I held off the call for moment to see what might happen. I then saw the big guy grabbed both of them by the hair and tried to drag them into the hole. That's when I realized those men were going to try to bury them alive. Once I saw that, I made the call and told the police what was going on as fast as I could."

Christopher could see that those two people were going to be buried alive. That was an awful thing to see. Christopher had 911 ready and gave them a call.

"The police were on their way, but they already threw those two people in the hole and tried to fill it with dirt. I had to try and do something to help."

"Hey!" Christopher called as he opened up the window and called to those people. "I see you people! The police are already on their way!"

"I called to those men and told them about the police. It was really the only thing I could think of to save those two. It worked as the men and the big guy dropped their shovels and just ran off until I couldn't see them anymore. When I saw that happened, I hurried on down the stairs. As I passed by my family, I told them what I saw and didn't stop until I reached those two people to help them."

Christopher did a brave thing. He called out to those men and warned them about the police. That might have helped them escape, but at least it saved both the man and woman. Once it seemed like they were gone, Christopher hurried down to help those two poor victims.

"I was able to make it to them and helped them out of that hole. The police arrived only seconds later. As soon as those two were untied, they held each other with no intention of ever letting go. They also thanked me for saving them. After that I told the police what I saw and those two filled in the missing pieces. What the woman said made me sick."

Thanks to Christopher's quick thinking, the man and woman were both safe. The police showed and both sides shared what happened. What Christopher learned greatly shocked him and changed his view of his own family and had him see how lucky he was to have them.

"It turns out that the big guy was actually the woman's father. The man that was going to be buried with her was someone she fell in love with, but the father didn't approve. He felt that his daughter brought shame to her family and he was looking to fix that. This was all about honor? What I witnessed was something called an honor killing. How can there be honor in killing your own family?"
