Chapter 9 - The Girl Who Was Finally SeenAfter the arrests, Maya expected everyone to forget her.
Instead, reporters waited outside.
Federal investigators asked for statements.
Arthur personally made certain Maya was protected.
“You saved my life,” he told her.
Maya shook her head.
“I was just scared.”
“Courage isn't the absence of fear.”
Arthur looked at her carefully.
“It's what you do while you're afraid.”
Those words stayed with Maya.
That night, she returned to the small apartment she had shared with memories of a life she barely remembered.

She had never imagined herself as brave.
She had simply refused to walk away.
