And this is the secret, is that when you disappear and they try to make you have your new identity, their big rule is you can't contact anyone.

So you have to leave your family behind.

Sometimes you leave your sister behind, your brother behind.

One of the biggest things you leave behind for the most part

is your dog a lot of people know your dog and that's one of the ones that people you know it's hard to leave your dog you may want it may leave your mother-in-law okay but it's hard to leave your dog so wait and the thing is is after six months you say i want to just see how he or she is and that's what messes people up that's why it's so hard to disappear so but can the average person do it i think you know the government can do it because they can get in and do all of this stuff

And when you want to check up on that family member, when you want to check up on your old dog, when you want to check up on someone you love that you miss, you go, people say, you know what?

I'm just going to make one phone call and I won't make another one.
