She used to do it all the time for her parents, except normally it happened when business deals went sour." he smiled slightly, it was in a way bitter sweet. "I met the family years ago, I helped them get Sakura back. I helped them to get her to believe that there way was the right way. It was easy because we were in hospital together. She calls me her older brother and I suppose it's that that made me decide not to help Mei Lin this time. Sakura I think has some idea of what is happening, or she doesn't remember enough to know that she did trust Mei Lin. In her last letter she asked me to protect Ruby. She has never trusted Edward." Reid shook his head slightly. "I can look after myself and Ruby and I've only told you about this. The person I'm worried about is Sakura. She's so innocent in a way and at this stage broken. She's suffered from depression as well as other disorders since she was little, that on top of what happened during last year..." he trailed off. "You see where I'm going right? I'm just sorry I got you involved, especially your family, Sakura told me about Antonia and I'm sorry such a young girl will have to go through so much. I just didn't know who else to turn to."
"Yes, you're absolutely right, there is no way to have avoided myself or my family being involved in this," Antonio agreed. "Sakura needs to be protected, she has already suffered greatly. She had been through a rough enough time, and then what happened last year was really enough to put her over the edge, I suppose. I just hope she will recover and be able to resume her studies again, she's a very bright girl and has so much potential and it is unfortunate that her circumstances have been so hard. So, how do you think we should proceed with this, Reid? And I do know that Mei Lin can be very determined, I've already seen a little bit of that last year. I'm sure I haven't yet seen the full potential of what she is capable of."

"That's very true, George, but then, some people are very reluctant to try anything new. Or maybe they're just afraid," Antonio said. "I think that has more to it then anything else, just the fear that they might like what they find and it would destroy everything they've come to believe. That can be hard."

"Okay, but let's take a break first," Antonio said. This was exhausting for him, he could only imagine how much harder it was for Christian.

"Here, have some water,"she said, while pouring a glass each for Professor Dumont, Christian and herself. She gulped down her glass of water in one go. She was so nervous watching Professor Dumont and her love go at it that she could drink a whole fish tank.
"Thank you very much, Jane, I appreciate it," Antonio said, taking a a glass of water and proceeding to drink it slowly. There was no need to rush this any more than necessary, even though Christian did need to be prepared. It was difficult work, and not pleasant in any respect.

She said as she looked into the Professor eyes and stared at him whilest he was talking to hanging onto his every word. "No I haven't thought about it." She said truthly. "But what do you mean about letting other people see it, how would I do that?" She asked, the Professor could be confusing she thought to herself.
"By that I meant that you might think about putting some of your pictures in an art show where other people can see them," Antonio said. "I think they are good enough that people would enjoy seeing your work. You don't have to sign your name to them if you don't want to, but I think you would be surprised how good your work really is and how many people would enjoy it."
