"I dunno just try it.  It is the easiest way to find out if this is real or not.  Besides I trust you Ruth.  Haven't we always been friends and helped each other."  He smiles at her hopinng to reassure her.   He also knew his words were true him and Ruth had always been friends for a long while now.  They had always helped each other and this would be no different and somehow together they will get out of here together.
