“Then don’t mind me” He said, “Just speak… I will tape. You ready?”
She rested her hands on the small shoulders of one the boys standing right in front of her. And suddenly, she seemed to draw all the strength she needed from this contact.
She took a deep breath in.
“Ready.”
Then Max signaled her to start, and she knew that the special ‘report’ she was about to start was one that she would never forget.
“This is a call for help. I am Tina Kennard from the L.A. Times. I am currently standing in the United States’ Embassy in Santaragua. The Embassy is under siege… These nine little boys around me were involved in a massacre perpetrated at the orphanage where they lived…”
————————————————————————————–
She wanted to sleep… She couldn’t.
She was thinking about the children.
She tried not to think about Bette…
The children.
They had found some supplies. Lots of supplies… But what supplies!… Coffee, wine, beer, cigars…
… And so little food for the children…
They would have to be very careful. And cut down on the portions… But for how long?
Tina sighed deeply.
What a day… In the space of a few hours, everything had changed. And from a relative peace, they had suddenly fallen into a war.
‘… a soldier knocked her out…”
She chased the terrible phrase away and listened to the night.
The soldiers were still stationed at the gate. They hadn’t tried to get in. Good… But how long?.. How long would this thin barrier, this invisible frontier last?
‘… a soldier knocked her out with a rifle…’
Max had gone. With the precious film.
Kit had arrived. With the mouse and the bad news…
Tina’s heart had jumped when she had seen the older woman step through the small kitchen door. Then it had stopped when she had realized that she was alone.
They had both got through a gap in the hedge surrounding the embassy. Their only access to the outside. Only God knew what the soldiers would do if they found out. What they had done to the orphanage?… What they had done to the lazaretto?…

my my your pure evil for stoping there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had this feeling it would be Bette… well, at least they’re together now! It makes me somewhat calmer knowing that whatever’s gonna happen, they’ll face it together. You really enjoy torturing us, don’t you? So mean… lol. Can’t wait for the next chapter!Also, I want to say that you have my biggest respect for being so brave and doing humanitarian work and helping people in need. *hands you a rose* ;)
gosh i thought it was tina who got knocked over w/ the gun. ur good!! im glad they returned bette, she’ll make it. i was going to go terminator on u *** if u wrote that she had died but reading ur cliff notes for the next chapter… bette is strong, especially w/ tina next to her =) can’t wait for ur nxt post. pps
man, you know how to get me on the edge of my seat…drama-rama…bette better be okay
hmmm… you really enjoy teasing us, don’t you?! another great chapter! PPS
Wow, that was tense. Who better to take care of Bette than Tina. I hope they find food, and really find each other. Great chapter, and PPS.
the only things that keep me calm at this moment is knowing that they will fight it together!!
can’t believe you let us hang there…. pps!
Ouch! That hurt, to stop right there! I kinda thought it might be Bette. I salute your humanitarian work, you are a very brave woman.
ohhhhh come on – you did not just stop there!!?? gosh – u are such a tease!! what can I do to make u post RIGHT NOW!?? please tell me – u got to post – its holidayweekend after all!! so, please please PRETTY PLEASE post sooooooooooon!!! :) Thanks!Lovely chapter by the way! :)
I hope they find some food and most importantly, a way to help Bette! PPS
This happens in so many war zones If Bette,Kit,Jamesand Tina are together Bette will get better. The best is there and they will do the very best with what they have to help Bette. WLove this story and the way you keep us on the edge of our seats. thanks so much for posting
Ohhhhh…that was not nice. Hurry back to that laptop and give us more. ; ) pps
Your story is wonderfull. Thank You! It is so much better than going to the movies.. And has a great music too!Ooblivion keeps playing in my head through out your narration..
Oh please let Bette be ok!
That was just plain wrong..so very, very wrong!
Oh, my God ! Bette ! I knew it, I knew it, I hadn’t thought of Max ( like James & Tina ) at all… But how in the Hell did she get there ?… I mean, are these soldiers part of the same group that perpetrated the massacre at the lazaretto ? … What were the chances of Bette ending up here ?… OMG ! And what did they do to her ?!!… However, as amazing as this is going to sound from me, I’m almost relieved it’s Bette and not Max, first because as Xella said, at least B & T are going to be together and be able to “fight” together, and second because if Max had been caught they most likely would have all been killed by now. He pretty much seems like their only hope… BRILLIANT CHAPTER, K !! This is simply AMAAAAAZING ! I can’t wait to find out what the bastards have done to our Bette…
On a much lifghter note… When all this is over, I think Bette and Tina should adopt little Sebastian… (Wink!). Well, actually, I was going to say they should adopt all the kids, but there are like 9 of them, so unless they decide to open another orphanage…
