In the moments leading up to Anya’s arrival, Joe is having a heated confrontation with Caleb at the Depot. Joe fears he could he in trouble with the law for accidentally running Jimmy over.

The pair’s fight is soon interrupted by a sound coming from one of the nearby vans. Caleb and Joe go to investigate and discover a foreign lady hiding in the back amongst the boxes.  Introducing herself as ‘Anya’, it’s clear the newcomer is a stowaway and very scared. But where has she come from?
