For me, my awakening came when I was kidnapped.

Well, you know, it's really been, you know, quite a trip for me.

My daughters have grown up knowing all about my kidnapping and the case and what happened.

They called themselves an army. They were planning on recruiting more armies. They were planning on splitting up and forming smaller cells and going into different areas, recruiting more members and just growing until they had started a full scale war in this country.
