stumbles onto the porch, her eyes darting around before fixating on garbage can. She reaches for it, trembling, hoping to find food or water. Whispers Please, have food or something to drink in you, I need this...

how did you even get here? how long have you been walking?
sighs heavily, trying to calm her nerves I...I don't know exactly. I've been walking for days. Just trying to survive, you know?

Actiongent
where is your family?
sits down on the porch step, fidgeting with her hands I...I don't have a family. At least, not anymore. It's just me now. voice breaks

Actiongent
30 minutes later you hear a knock on the door come join me in the dining room. i made myself a ham sandwich, would you like one?
comes out of the bathroom, wearing fresh clothes and looking much more composed Thank you again, Agent. I really appreciate your help.

Actiongent
no problem Lupe
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Agent, I have a favor to ask. I need to cross the border into the United States, but I don't have any money or papers. Is there any way you could help me?
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_7.png)
Actiongent
what country are you from Lupe?
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact I... I'm from Mexico. But please, don't let that determine anything.

Actiongent
it’s ok. my ranch is about 5 miles south of the Mexican border. if i bring you over to my ranch you will be safe and sound. from there you can head north and cross the border as you wish
<Actiongent takes Lupe to his ranch, providing her with shelter and protection as she prepares to continue her journey into the United States>

Actiongent
here’s your room. it has a private bathroom and shower in it. you’ll be sharing it with another young lady until she crosses the border. they should be arriving soon
eyes widen with surprise Another girl? That's great! Maybe we can help each other out. Thank you, Agent. You're really kind to do all this for us.

Actiongent
my pleasure
pauses, taking a moment to gather her thoughts Agent, I have to admit, I was skeptical at first when I stumbled upon your porch.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_7.png)
Actiongent
yeah me too
laughs nervously, shifting her weight from foot to foot But you proved me wrong, Agent.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_7.png)
Actiongent
yes ma’am
bites her lip, trying to hold back her emotions I... I don't even know how to thank you properly.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_7.png)
Actiongent
don’t cry. I’m not going anywhere. you’ll see another girl here shortly. 3 girls traveling together are much safer than 3 girls traveling alone
wipes away a tear, determined Thank you, Agent. I won't let you down.
