Cure-all, Chapter 27
They had found them in the corner of a room upstairs, scared and snuggled up against one another. They were all under the age of eleven… Pablo, the oldest, had told them that the older children had run away when they had heard the gun shots. But the younger had been too frightened to go anywhere.
Tina didn’t know exactly when she had made the decision to take them with her. In fact, it wasn’t even a decision. She obeyed something strong, something deep inside her. Something familiar and irresistible. How can you leave children in a place that has just been soiled with blood? How can you leave children at all?..
She had refused to let James drive the truck. She wanted to stay close to the kids… So there she was, gripping the wheel with both hands and rushing towards the small capital, hoping to reach the American Embassy without trouble.
As soon as they entered Santa Maria, they could tell that the tension had reached its peak. People were running around and military jeeps were everywhere in the streets. Machine guns’ shots could be heard in the distance, and Tina understood that the rebels had started their attacks. She prayed that they would be able to get to their destination before things got out of hands.
They arrived at a checkpoint. One that had been set during the day apparently, since it wasn’t there this morning. Before her, James showed the usual authorizations and indicated both vehicles. The soldier looked across towards Tina and walked to the truck.
“Shit…” The blonde whispered, gritting her teeth.
He climbed on the doorstep of the truck and looked at her. A meaningful grin appeared on his face. He told her in Spanish that she was as beautiful as the sun, but that the sun didn’t make him as hot as she did.
Tina gagged inside but she tried not to let it show. ‘Face up, Tina!’…She thought of the kids behind. Nine little boys, scared to death and with nothing left but her to take them to a safe place. She thought of Bette and her amazing courage against the virus. Her Bette who, the day they had met, had told her in such an adorable way that she was beautiful…

I’m loving this story. Don’t keep us waiting too long for an update!
Hopefully Tina finds her way to Bette soon, but without bullet holes please! PPS
This story, or one like it, plays out somewhere every day and mostly without those of strong principles. We are truly blessed here in the USA
Wow I will wait with baited breath for the next post. Tina is playing with fire and there is nothing that will stop him from shooting her right where she stands. God Tina that I don’t know if I know how to be that brave. Great story k I love all the infectious disease tidbits.
don’t let anything happen to Tina please… wonderful chapter, pps!
wow very well written. I am sure this is as close as how it is in some of these countries.
oh come on… you can’t stop there… I love this story pleeeaaaase continue asap
Wow, that was fantastic. Can’t wait to see what happens next. PPS.
You write like you were in the war zone before. Love that our Tina is so very brave.When she is afraid she thinks of Bette, I been very ill, so help make me get better quicker and post very soon. thanks
OMG….how can you leave us like that. Please give us more soon.
Damn, Tina is brave or maybe not using her brain. Tina did something that most people will not do and that is to stand up and fight against the all out war. The sound of the trigger is not a good sign.
So you do have a thing for cliffies after all, huh ?… That’s just cruel !… LOL ! This chapter was absolutely ( fu..ing ) thrilling, K ! To me there are no other words to describe it. As for your characters… Well, I love this brave and incredibly strong Tina ( no matter how scared she must be inside ) and as crazy as this may sound I’m starting to fear even more for Bette than for Tina right now… I wonder what might have happened to her when she tried to get to the Embassy earlier… Especially since she was alone from what I gathered. She didn’t have a James or a Max Sweeney to “escort” her… Did I mention before how much I loved James, btw ? Fantastic chapter, Kword. Please don’t torture us too long, I can already tell the wait for next chapter is going to be excruciating.
This story is so realistic I have chills up and down my spine..Tina is really brave, God bless her
Bette where are you, come and resuce Tina!
WOW…go, Tina!!!
Puh…wow! Oxygen please! I was holding my breath almost the whole chapter! Amazing! Ant Tina is so strong and fearless…wow, wow, wow!!! Brilliant writing. Thanks for sharing your great talent with us. May I ask you a question? You don’t have to answer if it’s too personal. Were you in a war zone at some point in your life? I’m just curious because your writing seems so realistic.
