Mai (Death and the Maiden)

Mai is one of twelve Thai women who were held hostage by Mr. Phillips.
==History==
Mai came to the United States in search of something better for herself, but ended up working for Mr. Phillips, who held her and eleven other women in a building he owned, working in a sweatshop. He took their passports and kept them from leaving the building, telling them that if the police found them, it would be worse for them than staying inside. When the building caught on fire, they were all trapped in a locked room. They covered their faces and huddled together behind a barrier they made to protect themselves. When Pablo, the security guard from the building, told firefighters about the secret room where they were trapped, they were rescued and led outside to triage. At triage, the women were reluctant to talk to the firefighters until they were reassured that they were not in trouble. Travis noticed a scar on Mai's hand and asked about it. She said she'd gotten cut on a sewing machine three years prior, but they had just stitched up on site rather than taking her to a doctor. Mai then told the firefighters what Mr. Phillips had done. Mai and the other women were then taken to Seattle Presbyterian Hospital to be checked out and Fire Chief Natasha Ross promised to have an immigration lawyer meet them there to see what they could do to get the women S-Visas and financial compensation for what had happened to them.
