Cure-all, Chapter 27
It was with that endearing compliment and the brunette’s lovely face in mind that she turned to the soldier and gave him a bright smile. One that didn’t reach her eyes…
The man grinned back, giving her an unforgettable view of his dirty set of teeth. Then, highly proud of his effect on the ‘Americana’, he laughed and jumped back down, signaling the other soldier to let them go.
Tina let out a deep sigh and crushing the pedal once again, she engaged the truck behind James’ car.
A few minutes later, they finally reached the American Embassy. But the scene that welcomed them wasn’t exactly the one they had hoped.
Confusion was probably the best term to describe the situation. A general stampede. People were running and getting into cars ready to leave. A minibus was being parked backward in front of the main door and a few seconds later, several employees got out and rushed to it carrying boxes and suitcases. Then they got into the van which immediately made its way towards the main gate. Several cars followed and soon, there were only two cars left.
Tina had gotten out and tried to get a few people to stop and talk to her, but the panic was general and her efforts were fruitless. Suddenly, she spotted the Embassy’s attache who had introduced her into the ambassador’s office two days before. She ran to him and stopped him just as he was getting into a car.
“Sir, wait! What’s going on? Are you leaving the Embassy? Where is the ambassador?” She asked, holding him back.
“Leaving the Embassy? Miss, are you deaf? This is war… We’re leaving the country!” The attache replied, “The ambassador is already at the airport and they’re only waiting for us. The last plane is leaving within the hour.”
Then, he suddenly noticed the children that James was helping out of the truck one by one.
“What the hell is that?” He exclaimed.
“They are children from an orphanage outside the city.” Tina explained, “There was a killing… We just couldn’t leave them there. And I thought they would be safe here.”
“Safe? Miss, no place in Santa Maria is safe anymore. You need to get out of here.” He urged, “We can take you if you want, but we need to hurry.”

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.
