As we were standing in the airport lounge I was petrified, completely scared, but Ismail stayed calm as if it was a daily thing for him. He looked at me with his amber brown eyes and said, “We should leave. It’s a matter of time before the security catches us,” he said in his deep calm voice.
“But we can’t go anywhere until we contact your friend,” I said with a trembled voice, “we can’t. My phone is blocked.’’ I took his hand and squeezed it tightly, ‘’I think I know a way.” I smiled at him and we started running off to the exit. As we were running I said, “There is a library that I had visited when I came to Morocco it’s not too far from here but we have to hurry up as it will close soon. “They can’t track us if it’s in public area, right?” I asked. Ismail looked at me and took my hand. “I think we’ll be okay,” he smiled.
