"Yes."
"Have you been in contact recently?"
"No," Marta replied, as if something came to mind, she hurriedly said, "Is he reported missing again?
Please don't tell him my situation, I don't want to see him."
"Why? You seem very afraid of him."
"Our past life wasn't very pleasant... personality, beliefs, lifestyle, I tried hard to make the relationship work, but I still failed.
That's why I left Los Angeles, left him.
I'm living well now, my life doesn't need him."
"Then why didn't you divorce?"
"I wanted to divorce too, but the situation is complicated. Henry is not easy to deal with; he has a violent temper.
I brought up divorce once and things got out of control, he... became very frightening.
I don't have the courage to face him again."
"Ms. Rogers..."
Luke hadn't finished speaking when Marta interrupted him, "Marta, please, call me Marta. I don't want to use that surname right now."
"Okay, have you ever heard of Helson Swiney?"
