.“I can get a female agent to come down here instead of me.” He looked at Ash.“I can also recommend a female attorney with immigration experience.”Leena leaned close and whispered something to Amina.They talked for a moment, and then Leena took a couple of breaths.“She’ll be okay,” said Leena.“She doesn’t like men seeing her undressed.”“If she’d like to put something else on, we can leave and come back,” said Ash.Leena translated the question, and Amina nodded.Ash, Havelock, and Clair left the room for a moment.When they came back, Amina wore a thick pink robe over her gown.It didn’t seem like much of a change, but it made her feel secure enough to answer questions.Havelock started the interview slowly with questions about her background, his voice soft.The more Amina spoke, the less she hesitated before answering as she gained confidence.Havelock never pressured her to give more information than she wanted to, and his tone remained calm, measured, and patient.He was gentle enough that he could have been talking to one of his own kids.When he finished the introductory questions, Clair handed Amina one of the brochures Ash had found in the envelope the Hulk had delivered.“Have you seen this before?” he asked.Amina nodded after having the question translated.“She said an American woman came to her family’s farm and gave that brochure to her father.A lot of charities came through and did that, especially to help girls,” said Leena.“The woman said her charity would take Amina and her sister, Faria, to the United States so they could go to school and work part-time.”“Did anyone check to make sure it was legitimate?” asked Clair.Leena didn’t bother translating the question.“Amina’s father can’t read,” she said.“Even if he wanted to research it, he couldn’t.The culture in the tribal regions is generally opposed to formal education for girls, so he probably thought this was the only opportunity his daughters would ever have to go to school.”Clair started to ask something else, but Havelock held a hand in front of her.“How did this work?” asked Havelock.“Her family received the brochure.What happened next?”Leena and Amina conferred for a few minutes.“Her dad tracked down the American in a nearby village and told her that both of his daughters were interested.She interviewed them both and told them about the program.They would both go to a private American high school, but since Faria was only fifteen, she couldn’t work off-campus.She’d have to sweep classrooms and things like that.She said Amina would be able to get a good job off-campus and go to school.The American helped them get visas.”“How’d they get to the U.S.?” asked Havelock.Leena translated the question.“The woman gave her tickets and set up the travel arrangements.She and her sister flew from Lahore, Pakistan, and they stopped in three airports along the way, but they didn’t stay anywhere for long.The first city in the United States they went to was Chicago.”“Okay,” said Havelock.“Did they stay in Chicago, or did they come right to Indianapolis?”Amina and Leena conferred for a few minutes, suspending the conversation.“She thinks they stayed in Chicago for a little while.A man and a woman met her in the airport.Including Amina and Faria, they picked up four girls in a van and drove them all to an apartment.”“Does she have an idea where this apartment was?”Leena started to translate the question, but Amina shook her head before the older woman even finished speaking.Havelock should have expected that, though; Amina came from a village in rural Pakistan.Going to any major city would have put her so far out of her element that she could have missed even the most familiar of things right in front of her.“Can you ask her to describe her situation in Chicago?” asked Clair.“Was she a prisoner? Did she work?”Leena translated and then listened intently while Amina spoke.“She and Faria lived with six other girls in a two-bedroom apartment [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
