      “That ...” Giang’s response was interrupted by a doorbell and another Vietnamese man hollered to him from inside the house. Giang immediately disappeared, only to return moments later with two more Vietnamese men.

      These two men repeated the pattern that H

ng had seen in the apartment in Hanoi. The remaining women were once more divided into two groups, while she was left standing alone.

      Minutes later, one of the Vietnamese men backed a van inside the garage and the first group of women were driven away.

      The second Vietnamese man pointed a finger at H

ng and said, “You will wait here. My brother will be along soon.” He looked at the remaining women and said, “Wait until I back my van up to the garage and then get in.”

      H

ng realized that Ngng’s arm and said, “Only a couple of months. It will go fast.”

      “You are my first friend in America,” said H

ng.

      “In two hours!” H

ng felt the adrenalin pump through her veins.

      “I must apologize that you will have to ride in the trunk of my car. It will be uncomfortable, but I have put several pillows and a blanket in there to try and make it more comfortable. There is also some bottled water.”

      “Thank you, Mister

c.”

      “I have a rear seat that folds down and for a little while, we will leave it down so you can talk if you wish. Once we get close to the border you will have to pull the seat closed and be very quiet as I clear U.S. Customs. Leave it closed until I tell you that it is okay.”

      “They will not search your trunk?” H

ng asked.

      

c smiled and said, “Some money will be passed. It is arranged, but it is still better if you are quiet.”

ng could not help but notice the harsh tone of c’s voice when he spoke with Giang, who nodded obediently while staring down at his own feet.
