Leo explained that he had been sleeping near the hangars, had noticed suspicious activity, and wanted to warn someone. He knew no one would listen otherwise. The attack was aimed directly at Alexander.
That night, overlooking Manhattan, Alexander realized the importance of this boy.
The next day, in front of the cameras:
“Yesterday, a twelve-year-old homeless boy warned me just in time. His name is Leo. He was right when no one else listened.”
Headlines read: “A forgotten child becomes a hero.” Alexander provided him with a safe home, funded his education, and took care of his future.
“You will never be invisible again,” he told him.
Years later, Leo, proud, received his diploma. Alexander, sitting in the front row, remembered the day a brave boy showed him that true courage often emerges from the most unexpected places.
