While Paul and Leonard focused on how to find a way to go in that mountain, John went back to Lisa's side. She might give them a clue on how to get in.

On the way to Lisa's room, John received a call from Lydia.

"Doc John, I can't contact Diane's phone. Can you tell her to stay with Ma'am Daisy for a while? I need to go home. My sister is looking for me."

John faltered, not knowing what to say. "Ah, she's not with me right now. I'll send someone to look after Ma'am Daisy."

"O-kay." Lydia sensed something weird in John's voice. She wondered what it was but uncertain what it could be. "But do you know where she is right now?"

"No, I don't. I'll let her call you when she comes," John said, cutting the conversation to avoid Lydia from suspecting then asked Leonard to send a girl to help Daisy. While talking with Leonard on the phone, Dr. Ben called John's attention.

Lisa opened her eyes and saw John standing. A man's presence shook her sanity and about to shout in hysterics again but John spoke smoothly same as he calmed a child, soothing to Lisa's ear.

"Lisa? Don't be afraid. You're no longer in the prostitution den. You're safe now. I'm Dr. Rivera and I'm here to help you. You're in good hands."

Lisa closed her mouth and tried to focus her eyes on John. His gentle smile and words of assurance somewhat appeased her.

"Where am I?" Her eyes wandered over the place. She saw a dextrose hanging, medical pieces of equipment in every corner, empty hospital beds, a nurse and an old doctor both smiling at her. Her eyes went back to John. John did not reply in a hurry, waiting for her to absorb what she saw and believed what he said.

"You're in a hospital far from that place. Someone saved you and brought you to us," John said.

"Who brought me here?"

"We don't know who he was but it's a man."

Lisa grew wary. "Where is he? Where is Dennis? Please, tell me."

John never expected this. "Who is Dennis?" He asked to clarify this Dennis' real identity and their relationship.

"The man who saved me." She frantically pulled John's hands, her face went pale. "Stop Dennis from going back. Where is he? Please, stop him. He must not go back."

"Sorry, but we don't know where he is right now. He left."

Lisa cried as she covered her face. "Dennis, don't go back. Don't go back."

John let her cry while he processed what she was talking. Is this Dennis same as Diane's ex-fiance?

Half an hour after, Lisa sobered and lay there quietly. A lady nurse gave her porridge and she ate it like she had not eaten for days.

"Lisa, are you fine now?" John asked, sitting at a corner.

"Yes. Sorry." She drank the glass of water handed to her by the nurse. The nurse left afterward.

"Good ... Lisa, I want you to know that I really need your help." He waited, observing her reactions.

"I may sound rush but my girlfriend is now in that den …"

Before he could finish, "Nooo, why is she there? Did they kidnap her? No, that place is dangerous." Her hands cupped her ears as if she heard frightful sounds as her eyes squinted. John stood alarmed with her behavior. He held her shoulders and shook her.

"Lisa, Lisa, wait, calm down. We will save her. Listen to me first, okay? "

Lisa opened her eyes and slowly looked up to John as she nodded.

"We need your help on how to get in that place to save her."

She placed her hands down and stared at John, seemed lost. Then when her brain got John's message clear in her head, "are you going in there to save the girls and Dennis?"

"Yes," said John. That reply energized her. "Get me a piece of paper."

"But can you tell me Dennis family name?" John trod carefully, hoping this Dennis was a different person.

Lisa cared less and replied with honesty. "Espinosa."

John stood stunned with this development but cleared his mind and focused on the goal of saving Diane. He called Leonard and Jenna and asked them to bring a paper or map for Lisa. The two came as soon as they received the news. Jenna approached first, smiling.

"Hi, Lisa, I'm Jenna and here's a map of the place." She showed Lisa the satellite feed on an Android tablet.

Lisa wagged her finger. "No, no no. You can't go in there that way. Give me a paper."

Jenna handed her a paper and a pen. Lisa spoke as she drew. "You have to go to the city first and go to a place called Toledo Inn." She wrote the name of the Inn in a drawn box and looked at them.

"Ask for house service…" She continued to explain to them what to do and drew a guide in the den itself once they were in.

They thanked Lisa. On their way out, Leonard remembered something so he looked back. "By the way, can you tell us what is your relationship to that Dennis you mentioned?"

"I am Dennis' friend."

"Friend? Can you tell us more about him? We might meet him there," Leonard was the one who asked this time, cautious with his words. The three went back in, eager to listen to her.

"Please don't hurt him. He is only following his Dad's instructions." Lisa had this restlessness again. Her head moved around, watchful for something unseen.

"Okay, calm down, we promise, we won't hurt him but who is his Dad?" Leonard asked.

"He is Gino Gallante." All of them was stupefied, their mouth gaped in shock. This was perfect headline news. Gino Gallante, the Mr. Gallante they knew was Dennis father.
