Okay, here's some more possibilities for how CF will ultimately discover his mother's letters that she went to Egypt. She had a diary, well maybe not a diary, that he found letters to her from a man named Sharif in Egypt who told her to please come back. Her daughter was missing mommy. And Amina is missing you. Unfortunately, it was too late for Florence to go back. She discovered that she had cancer and died shortly thereafter leaving behind four or five-year-old Christopher and Amina in Egypt. So as Chris, please, from the scene of Amina's death with her body, the back of the rental man hides out in the evening time, perhaps in a city near San Angelo in San Angelo itself, and makes a phone call to Marcus to help him because you know Marcus. He overfurt to Marcus as the magician. He's the eccentric and eccentric hacker who basically helps him discover Amina's web history. He will essentially sort of be his guide to forcing his way through life. Everything has to be a hack of some sort. Because Chris will find out that if he goes away just allowing the vines to catch him and keep him from his destination, he'll need the skills of a man who can clear the path with the shetty. And Marcus can be that person, but obviously in digital, and not with the metaphorical machete of his computer skills and his engineering skills. So anyway, Chris is first meeting with Zoe, plays an important part in the end. Because Zoe introduces us to Christopher through her, and he's kind of remarks to him. And his naive willingness to just kind of tell her where he comes from. So you know, as they're sitting there in his office trying to figure out, she's frustrated because he's got another person writing about tail water. And she has to figure out how to let them know how to encourage them to write about something else. She can't believe how hard it is for people to write. I mean, she's also, it's hypocritical, ironic because she's going through her own block with her dissertation. She can't move forward on the concept of chivalry and war. And she knows he's got something good in him because the veterans always seem to write about the stuff they write about always kind of helps her with her thesis. And so she wants him to search within his soul and find something controversial. I mean, he won't talk about the war, so she's like, well, maybe, maybe have something controversial about your family. There's nothing controversial about my family's boring. What is your foundation? He's a security guard. Why does he like a security guard for a cemetery? Not exactly. I... Okay. A library? No. Not exactly. He's a security guard for... In Andrews. In Andrews? Andrews, Texas? Yeah. Well, what's in Andrews? Oh, toxic waste facility. Oh, the thing that's buried over the water. And he adamantly defends the sightseeing. Now, that's been proven. It is simply not true. It is not buried over the water. And so that isn't that part of the conversation, but they continue to talk and see the office him more time to write his paper. But if he doesn't get it in, by the end of August, it's going to basically not pass the class. So that's what he's faced with as he leaves Texas Tech and heads for Austin. So what does he decide to do when he finally makes his way home with a truck that he's hotwired? And with a... Maybe he builds up a refrigerator truck. That's probably a better idea. It's got to be something less conspicuous. That's a problem. So anyway, he... Maybe it's a nice truck and it's a company that's well known and he simply just parks it. And any case, as he goes home and finds his father in the worst state he's ever seen in the attic. He's sweating like crazy. He tells his father, I don't know why he called me here, everything that I have here is an unneeding way. It's thrown it away. That's when his father started to yell viciously at him. That's when he tries to calm him down and down. He tells him to go downstairs, get a drink of water. And so, that's his father goes downstairs. That's when he discovers what his dad was looking at. His mother's suitcase. Or perhaps he was looking at a case within a case. You know, the whole time he thought the suitcase was empty. It had her letters in it and a final letter from Sharif. Exposing the fact that she had a daughter and that she left Egypt to come back to Texas. So, what do you do? That's when he realizes that Amina was his sister. And that's when he realizes he has to bury her properly. He has to make sure that she didn't die in vain. He has to make sure that people will remember who she was and people will talk about her. Because it will become evident when he recalls the letters and the letters that she was searching for him. But either she knew she had found him or she knew she had found him. And it's positive.
