Just ask. Tell someone exactly what you need and why. Don't hesitate to tell the truth about how bad the situation is. Admit you're feeling helpless. Begging is fine if it gets the job done. You can ask:

• 1. A young member of the family, without assumptions or judgements, with humility and honesty.
• 2. A policeman.
• 3. An attorney.
• 4. Any rich person.
• 5. Any politically powerful person.
• 6. Any successful businessperson.
• 7. Any criminal or organized crime figure.
• 8. Any priest, nun or other religious person.

They will either help you or not. If you think it will be hard to ask for assistance, remember why you are asking.
