No.22
Lou tells Marlene that there has been some new developments in Ecuador. Marlene is worried that Cheryl is dead. But just then, Frank from Foreign Affairs turns up and tells them that Cheryl is definitely alive - the leader of the rebels rang the American Embassy and gave them a list of names. The rebels haven't made their demands clear yet, so they'll just have to wait and see. The Australian Government definitely wouldn't pay a ransom, as it only encourages acts of terrorism. The family could choose to pay themselves, but they wouldn't advise it.

Coffee Shop
