He let out a sigh.
“Okay… But Tina, please be careful!”
“I will.” She said with a smile.
Then, once she was at the door,
“And in any case, you’ll cover me, right?” She added with a wink before stepping outside.
She walked down the few steps and towards the gate with a confident stride. The soldiers were just about to step into the courtyard when they saw a young blonde woman coming towards them, obviously fearless.
“Sirs…?” Tina started with a courteous smile, once she had reached them, “I am the Ambassador of the United States. How can I help you?”
A fat and unshaven captain stepped towards her, the end of an old cigar stuck between his greasy lips.
“We want the American tourist!” He said rudely in English, “We know he’s here!”
“What American tourist?” Tina replied calmly, faking pure astonishment, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m hosting a little gathering for children.”
“Yeah well, we’re going see about that.” He said, stepping forward.
“Impossible.” She said, raising her hand in a stopping gesture, “You see, this is the US Embassy, and I am in American territory. You can’t come in.”
In the astounded silence that followed, she quoted in one breath,
“Article 31 of The Vienna Convention, Paragraph 1: ‘Consular premises shall be inviolable.’"
The Captain seemed to ponder her words for a few seconds.
“And I say that we will come in.” He then said abruptly, motioning to his men to follow him.
This time, Tina spread her arms out on either side of her body to stop them.
“No!” She shouted sternly.
She turned to the American flag that floated on the roof of the embassy, and pointed at it.
“You are on American territory! You cannot come in!”
Inside, James, his gun in hand, Max and the children were holding their breaths as they watched the blonde who, alone and her arms raised in the air, was barring the soldiers’ way.
“You can’t come in!” She said in low voice, staring at the cigar-smoking man. Then, she repeated louder and in Spanish, for the other soldiers’ benefit, “No pueden entrar!”
Her heart was pounding so hard that she could hear it…
She was afraid…
But her resolved face didn’t give anything away.
The captain was looking at her straight in the eye.
“You cannot come in.” She repeated once again, staring back at him.
She saw the machine guns raise and point at her…
She heard the triggers…
And in that moment, there was only one thing on her mind…
One person…
Bette…
TBC…

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.
