You OK? Townsend was just being thorough.
He's trying to cover all angles.
They knew I went looking for him.
How would they know that if they weren't checking on him? I don't know.
Because the porter or someone spoke to the local police.
Mona.
If there was a problem with Dani, Kareem would have told me.
He would've said something.
What are you doing? It's one of Mum's.
Well, give us a go, then.
Cheers.
What? What?! Look I don't like to say this, but OK, just Kareem and Dani I mean, they had their fair share of run-ins, didn't they? Well, he was his dad.
What do you expect? Yeah, OK.
You know what boys are like.
As soon as they get to 18, they're like battering rams, aren't they? Well, maybe Maybe Dani met somebody.
OK I mean, if Dani Guy, this is my brother and his son.
I know.
I know, and I'm I'm sorry.
Come on.
Did you see it? What they did to him? I did.
I love you, sweetheart.

There's a global threat campaign now against Muslim brotherhoods, and he is trying to .
