“The Army came…” Kit had told them.
Her face was pale, haggard… Her clothes were dirty, torn, burnt… Her left hand was bleeding…
The soldiers had declared that the lazaretto was a hideout for the rebels, that there was no epidemic. They had found a portrait of Jose O Libertador in the infirmary, and had gone completely crazy. They had started to shoot at the sick people. Bette had bolted towards them screaming…
“Then, a soldier knocked her out with a rifle and they carried her away in a truck.”
Kit’s sentence kept echoing through her like the most acute pain that nothing can ever ease.
‘… a soldier knocked her out with a rifle and they carried her away in a truck.’
Before leaving, the soldiers had burnt the lazaretto. There were no survivors… Kit had dashed to Bette’s lab already on fire, and gathered the notes, the books, the stem cells, the blood samples… Everything that could be saved. She had rushed out and suddenly remembered the mouse, the precious token of Bette’s progress. She’d just had time to grab the cage and run away before the building had collapsed.
‘… a soldier knocked her out with a rifle…’
The evil phrase brought her back to the present and she rolled over in her bed. The sun would rise soon. Another difficult day. Maybe the last…
“No!…” She said out loud.
She got up and went to take a cold shower. Then she went downstairs and decided to check and list the food items.
She was just about done – the little food left made the task pretty easy – when she heard someone behind her.
Kit was standing at the door, looking at her. She was holding her left hand.
“Hey,” Tina whispered with a smile, “You’re not sleeping either?”
“No,” The older woman answered just as softly, “And my hand started bleeding again.”
“Oh,” Tina got up swiftly and went to her, “I’ll take care of it.”
The blonde went to retrieve the first-aid kit and they both sat down. While Tina started to clean her injury, the older woman stared at her.

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* ;)

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.

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…
