Jameel sat at the table, waiting for their call. Nothing. He waited all night, but nothing. Jameel waited a few more days, but they didn't call. Had they forgotten about him? Where was Aaliyah? Was she ok? Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Jameel, we might be bad people, but we would never hurt a pregnant woman."

"What?"

"Open you're door."

Jameel ran to the door, and flung it open. There stood Aaliyah. "Jameel" she whispered, collapsing into his arms.  Jameel picked her up, and put her to bed. Jameel stayed by Aaliyah's side all night. Aaliyah often woke up screaming, but Jameel was there to soothe her back to sleep. Jameel needed answers from Aaliyah as to what happened, but he decided that could wait until tomorrow
