Colonel could only help her if she helped him. She had to trust him.

Charlie told Colonel how the recruitment process worked and the names of people she worked with. She shared photos from inside the compound. She offered evidence of financial transactions and details of her travel agency. She even admitted to having recruited five women herself, two of whom were now recruiters.

She needed to be done with the syndicate, for real. Then, he wanted to know about the victims. Colonel had been stationed with the embassy in Bangkok to help Filipino nationals who had been trafficked and sent to these compounds. He knew there must be dozens of them sitting in compounds because of her.

Colonel wanted a list of everyone Charlie had booked tickets for. Charlie went through her records and made a spreadsheet with every single person. A list of 59 people. She indicated who never made it to the compound because they were stopped at immigration. For the 31 who did make it, she color-coded to show which compound they were sent to. Golden State, like her brothers in Yuki.

KK Park, like Jella. Or the compound where Dev was based, Dongfeng. Among those names were the five women she had recruited, as were Yuki and Jella and Josh and Max. Colonel knew it was those last two names that really mattered to Charlie.

Colonel wanted to help every Filipino he could. This was why he wanted that list from Charlie. He could share the names of victims who had been offloaded with Philippines immigration to keep them from getting through in the future. And he could offer assistance to the people she'd sent to the compounds who were still there. If Charlie agreed to help.

If Charlie wanted Colonel's protection, she needed to do what he was asking.

So Colonel told her she needed to reach out to the 31 people on her list. She needed to see if they wanted to leave and give them his number. This was her chance to let them know there was a way out, including her brothers. It was time to start organizing plans for their escape. But Colonel warned Charlie there were no guarantees.

Her brothers and their coworkers would have to find the complaint desk and convince their bosses to return their passports. It wouldn't be easy. And it would not be without danger. Charlie didn't care how risky it was. She was already in danger. She was out of options. How much worse could things get? Inside the compound, Jane was starting to crack from the endless hours of scamming.
