The Reasons in the World

I can't say my name. I am three months pregnant. They pay my boyfriend and I to take care of people. We want to leave. We have enough money but they brought another guest. He is 8 years old. We had not taken care of a kid before. He’s getting sick and my boyfriend doesn’t want to do anything. I shouldn’t take him outside, it’s dangerous if M. finds out. I’m afraid something bad will happen to him. I hope they pay the ransom soon.
