Everyone in the warehouse waited to hear the explanation of what happened.
Leo said—
—"The Captain used a tranquilizer hidden in his knife to knock us unconscious and they used blood packets to make it look like they were cutting our necks and stabbing us in the back."
Ana said realizing—
—"That's why they took Yumi's blood. For the blood packets."
Leo looked over surprised at Ana and Yumi after he heard that.
"What? What happened?" asked Leo concerned about Yumi.
Yumi said—
—"They kept me locked in a room for a year and took my blood. Who knows how long I would've been there if Ana hadn't found me."
Leo looked shocked to learn this.
"Then what happened?" asked Alex to Leo.
"Then they hid us underwater and brought us here."
"What about your Mom?" asked Ana.
Amaia listened attentively hoping on the slim chance that her Family might still be alive.
Leo shook his head 'no.' and said—
—"She was shot, not stabbed. They only take kids, not adults."
"What about the girls? Where are they?" asked Amaia not ready to give up hope on her sister still being alive.
"They're on the island somewhere." said Leo.
"What about my sister Natalia? Have you seen her?" asked Amaia.
"We haven't seen any girls. You're the first girls we've seen in years." said Leo and chuckled.
Yumi smiled and Leo saw her smile and smiled.
In the background Judith turned to look at her Father and said—
—"Did you know about this?"
"No." said Mason honestly.
Then Mason told everyone—
—"Ok, listen everyone, we need to get going and get everyone out of here. We'll go back to the ship and come back to look for the girls."
"Wait, my brother is here." said Ennio.
Then Ana suddenly remembered everything that happened years ago with Ennio and Victor.
"All right, where is he?" asked Mason.
"He's in an underground cell outside here." said Ennio.
"Let's get him out." said Mason.
Everyone got out of the warehouse and Maja led Kris and Eli back toward the sub.
