Playing both sides, only the player loses.

Eric use to do a lot of human trafficking. He prided himself in not only taking the trust of the immigrants he was helping, but also made money by tipping off the locals trying to prevent the trafficking from happening. The man thought he was pretty slick pulling the wool over everyone's eyes.

One day, however, he was approached for a job that had him grabbing a few people from Cuba and Haiti. Simple enough he thought. Among the immigrants was an older woman and 5 young men. Eric was quickly wrestled down on the deck of his ship as the old woman spoke something in Creole. She took what looked to be a small bone knife from her satchel and cut the one of the Cuban men, then stabbed Eric in the chest with the bone knife. The woman spoke in a heavy accent that the man she cut was the father of girl who died from the atrocities caused by Eric. The knife was a bone that was the only thing salvaged from her body when she was returned to the father. Since Eric was the one who caused this, he would take the girl's place in life.

But not to replace the father's daughter.

The Cuban man made it clear he wanted nothing to do with Eric. Eric may have now looked like his daughter, but he wanted nothing to do with Eric what so ever.

Without a no passport or ID, not to mention no longer capable of speaking fluent English, Emma was now simply a Cuban whore who did what she could to survive.
