"I'm Alex Sánchez." said Alex.
"I know who you are. My husband told me about you." said Judith's Mom.
"Then you know why I'm here. Where's Judith?"
"Why ah you going after her? She doesn't care about you. I bet she never told you the truth about herself. About who her family is and where she is from."
"She actually did tell me as a matter of fact."
"Oh, I seriously doubt that." said Judith's Mom confidently.
"Why?"
"Because she's a coward. Did she tell you about who her real father is? Did she tell you the reason why she left?"
Alex looked at her unsurprised because of everything that Judith had told him about her Mom.
Judith's Mom looked at Alex's expression thinking that she had stunned him with that information and smirked at Alex with a smug expression of 'I thought so.'
Then Alex said—
—"She did tell me. She told me how you went and drugged her biological father and got yourself pregnant with her. And how you regretted it when her biological father rejected you. And how you always looked at her like she was a mistake and treated her like she was not one of your daughters."
Judith's Mom was stunned by the fact that Judith 'Had' actually told Alex that.
And she was even more stunned by the fact that Judith knew that she had drugged her biological father, because that was something that she never told anyone.
So in Judith's Mom's mind, there was no possible way that Judith or anyone would know about that.
"How could she tell you all of that?"
Asked Judith's Mom, perplexed and unable to comprehend why Judith would tell him such embarrassing things about herself.
Then Alex said—
—"Because unlike you, she has nothing to be ashamed of."
Which left Judith's Mom speechless.
"Now, are you gonna tell me where she is or not?" asked Alex.
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE SECRET ROOM, Yumi began to go to her house to wait for Alex and Judith to meet her there so she could take them back to the secret room.
Yumi made her way toward her home and when she arrived there, she saw some Policemen exiting the house after searching inside it.
Yumi waited until she saw all the Policemen leave and then she went inside the house.
MEANWHILE, JUDITH was in the top floor of a building in a penthouse room belonging to the Leader.
The room was very high class.
Judith had her own bathroom, bed, closet full of garments and a big desk for her to work making outfits.
There was a window with bars on it so she couldn't get out.
Judith had all her needs met by personal servants that worked for the Leader.
Room service and laundry, etc.
Judith was working with a sewing machine and then she went to the window and thought of a way to escape.
A male servant entered the room with a cart with a tray of food and extra towels.
The male servant set the tray of food on the table for Judith to eat and walked out of the room with the cart.
LATER THAT EVENING, Judith had finished working on a dress and hung it on a rack.
She walked to the window and looked down thinking that there was no way to escape.
Then she heard a knock on the door and turned around.
She saw another male servant walk inside with a cart and saw him place a tray of food on the table to Judith's surprise.
"I didn't order anything." said Judith.
Then Judith saw the male servant remove his hat and look at her.
Judith saw that it was Alex disguised as a male servant.
Alex quickly put his finger up to his lips in a shush motion.
Judith was stunned and quickly ran to him and hugged him.
Alex whispered—
—"Come on. We're getting out of here."
"How'd you find me?"
"Your Mom told me you were here."
"What?" said Judith shocked that her Mom did that.
"I'll tell you later. We gotta go now."
Then Judith hid under the cart while Alex rolled it out of the room and down the hall to the fire escape.
As they went down the fire escape, Alex noticed Judith's ankle was hurting.
He asked her what happened and she explained how she injured her ankle.
Then they quickly went down the fire escape and they dove into the water and started swimming.
They swam all the way back to Yumi's house.
When they arrived at Yumi's house, Yumi quickly met with them and started taking them back toward the secret room.
