neared the capital he knew he had to get his wife Sadia and newborn daughter Leia out of the country immediately he devised a plan knowing that the airport was their only gateway to Freedom what Hamid hadn't anticipated was the swiftness with which kabell would fall he was trapped at the airport coordinating evacuations when he heard the Taliban had entered the city Sadia who was at home with Leah received hamid's Urgent Message with little time to prepare she wrapped her daughter tightly against her chest and set out for what would be the most perilous journey of
their lives their first twist of fate occurred just blocks from their home a kind-hearted neighbor aware of sadia's perilous Journey offered his old battered car to drive them part of the way to the airport this unexpected gesture saved them hours of dangerous travel on foot upon arrival at the airport the scene was apocalyptic thousands thronged the gates clamoring to get inside here another twist struck a sudden EXP expion near the airport Gates caused pandemonium separating Sadia from the neighbor in the ensuing chaos with Leah clutched to her chest she was swept into the tide of
terrified people inside the airport Hamid received a tip from a sympathetic Marine who had noticed sadia's description on a list of expected evacuees the Marine risking his own position relayed their last known location to Hamid over a secure line desperate to find his family he maneuvered through the crowds praying for a glimpse of them then another bombshell dropped when Sadia realizing the main gates were impenetrable spotted a lesser known side entrance guarded by a few distracted soldiers using her Ingenuity she slipped through with Leah finding momentary refuge in a deserted maintenance shed here she encountered
a group of foreign journalists who recognizing her distress agreed to smuggle her past Security in their vehicle disguised as one of their local staff Hamid meanwhile was nearing despair when he received a call from the journalists who had Sadia and Leah they arranged randevu inside a hanger used for evacuations reaching the designated meeting point Hamid finally saw Sadia and Leah however their reunion was overshadowed by the imminent threat of Discovery and they were separated by a fence of barbed wire out of nowhere Hamid pulled a fast one knowing that returning through the crowds would be
suicide and that smuggling a baby would be easier than putting a grown woman on a plane he decided that the life of his daughter was worth more than the cohesion of his family and so he lifted little Leah up and passed her to a marine on the other side of the barbed wire risking her life in the process his heart broke as the soldier grabbed her he was abandoning her with a stranger knowing that this was the only way she would survive Whispering a prayer for his daughter Hamid then went back for Sadia who had
collapsed out of exhaustion and grief for the loss of her baby he managed to grab her just in time to escape the Taliban forces and was ushered onto a plane Bound for an unknown destination but that's where the real magic happened as the plane lifted off the tarmac Hamid and Sadia heard the unmistakable sound of a baby crying and when they Peak between the arms of another Marine what they saw made their knees Buckle Leah was on the same plane Sadia and Hamid held their daughter close tears of relief mingling with the fear of the
unknown they had no idea where the plane was headed only that it was away from the immediate danger and most importantly that they would reach that destination together then a surprise in their Journey came shortly after takeoff when the pilot announced they were on route to a US military base in Germany this unexpected destination provided a glimmer of hope they were going to a safe haven at least temporarily upon Landing in Germany the family was met with strict military protocol due to a bureaucratic oversight their names were not on the list of expected refugees at
the base they faced the threat of being sent back to Afghanistan with tensions High a quick-thinking NGO worker who was assisting with Refugee arrivals recognized Hamid from his work with the US forces in kabell she intered Ved ensuring that the family was granted temporary Asylum and could stay at the base while their paperwork was sorted out their arrival in Phoenix marked the beginning of a new chapter however settling in was not without its challenges a surprise came as they discovered that the address they had been given for their temporary housing was an empty lot the
result of a clerical error in the resettlement agency's files homeless with a newborn and few resources they were on the verge of Despair when a local church group learning of their plight offered them temporary accommodation and support as they began to acclimatize to their new environment the community's warmth and assistance were instrumental however a surprise was just around the corner while exploring their neighborhood Hamid stumbled upon a small Afghan restaurant owned by a former interpreter who had also escaped Cobble the restaurant owner was looking for help and offered Hamid a job this serendipitous encounter provided
