Eugene sighed "yeah I know ruth I know." He moved slightly on his chair which caused a shooting pain which caused him to wince. "It's been hard being locked up here for 5 years and no one made the effort to visit" he rubbed his wrists to relieve the pressure of the cuffs "or even write. I felt completely discarded"

He then rested both his hands on the table and laughed "yeah your probably right. Our parents probably haven't figured out i was taken. I didnt enjoy leaving you the way I did and I aint proud of what I did but I did what I had to to protect you and for us to survive"

He sighed "I've no idea how my release is gonna be taken by the family"
