Cure-all, Chapter 24
Tina’s heart raced both in fear and in anger.
“No, Sir… No, as a matter of fact, I don’t know what you mean. Are you telling me that you’re going to let it be? Are you saying that you don’t give a damn about what happens to these people, to the way it’s being ‘handled’, if you know what I mean?
Tina knew that she was way out of line. But she couldn’t help it. She couldn’t stop the anger that was boiling over upon hearing this man, a diplomat nonetheless, coldly telling her that she should just let it go and take a plane back home, away from this tragedy… Away from Bette.
The man stood from his chair and walking around his desk, he sat on the chair beside Tina. Then he spoke softly.
“Miss Kennard, I understand your emotion, but please, you have to keep things in perspective. You are a professional, and you know this type of situation as well as I do. Give me some credit, and do not think for a minute that I don’t care, because I do, and I admire Professor Porter more than I can express. Believe me, if there was any way I could assure the safety of these people, I would immediately. But I can’t… And even if I could, then what? Without a cure, what can we hope to achieve?”
Tina looked down. She was aching for Bette, for her ‘lost’ battle. In this instant and more than anything, she wished she was by her side. She pondered the man’s words, and without looking at him, she finally said in a resigned voice,
“I don’t know what we can achieve. But I know that, at least until their last breath, we can give them hope.”
She stood and turned to the ambassador.
“Thank you for your time, Sir.”
Then she headed to the door.
“Miss Kennard?” The diplomat called out.
Tina turned and looked at him.
“If you see Professor Porter… Please tell her that the American Embassy is open to her. For anything she might need. We’ll make sure to provide as many medical supplies and support that we can. And we will also take care of any research material or results that she might want to transfer back home… I’m, uh… I’m afraid that’s all we can do as an Embassy. But I promise you that we will do it.” The man finished with a nod.

Hi K.. again, wonderful chapter.. I enjoyed reading it as much as you enjoyed writing it. Please post soon, so looking forward to the next chapter.

I can’t wait til Bette gets the surprise of her life. I don’t think she’ll be happy after the initial shock…
so beautiful, can’t wait for them to meet
Ahhh loved that line about hazel eyes. I looked into a set of them recently and I have to say, they were lovely. Thanks for updating. Now….surprise, surprise. PPS
Very intriguing! Yeah I also think Bette will be ecstatic to see Tina, and then afraid for her well-being. Can’t wait, PPS.
The eyes are the windows of your souls. Tina is going to her soul mate. Bette will be happy,surprise and unhappy at the same time. She will know that Tina loves her,are she would be living the lap of luxury in LA thanks
Oh yeah things are heating up! Hope Tina finds Bette soon:)
They are so close to each other. I can’t wait for them to come face to face. I am nervous about their safety with the Government unrest and the health scare and what it can do to both of them.
Oh…I can’t wait for the next chapter. Bette will think she is dreaming. pps

OMFG !! I have one word for you, K : BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!! This is probably one of the best fanfic chapters ever ! J’ai beau être dans l’absolu plus passionnée par le personnage de Bette que celui de Tina, Je suis complètement soufflée et les mots me manquent un peu là …
That was great and can’t wait for them to meet! Please post more, thanks!
