This last section of reading was very intense, and depressing. The children's father was taking a risk by sending them to London with strangers that Uncle Tunde found in a desperate attempt to get the children safely out of the country. The people appeared to be pleasant and compassionate, when meeting Sade and Femi for the first time at the airport. However, looks can be deceiving, and in this case they were. It turned out that the only reason that they agreed to smuggle the children to London, wasn't because of their warm hearts towards their situation. The only reason they accepted the "deed" was due to the generous amount of money that Uncle Tunde paid for their efforts. When Sade and Femi arrived to the London airport to they were ditched by their caretakers. What I can't believe is how selfish and uncaring those people were, because all they had to do once they arrived in London was drop the children off at their Uncle's home.
The children are now under the care of a foster home and life will be a lot tougher. Hopefully somehow they will be able to find their uncle, but they can't let anyone know their true identity.
