jnallen_487 @jnallen_487 (800) • United States 12 Jun 07

mamajena I am also unsure which is worse I think they should have just killed him off but I think this is worse for poor Neela. I am also unsure what is going to happen to her. In the end of the last scene she was laying on the ground at that peace rally and Tony was...
