Agnes "Apple" Bailey:[slams Tom's letter down on the dinner table] "When I was eight, I was taken away from my mother when she was arrested for drugs. ...By the time I was twelve, I was in my tenth foster home. Seemed like good people this time...until the husband would come into my room at night, and start touching me and feeling all up on me. I told my case worker, and she got the police involved. He told them that I was making it all up because 'that's what troubled kids do'...and they believed him. I was too scared to even open up my own mouth. I ran away. I went to find my mother and try to stay with her for awhile. Things got real bad and I had to go. In all that time...that letter was the only thing I ever got from you. Now, I'm just asking you for a little time...because I'm done being passed off as someone's case number. I want out of the system!"
