Jessica took the hand and smiled at the woman. "Thankyou so much for finding Andrew." The woman gushed. She was so relieved to have her son home. "Please come in while I fix Andrew something to eat. I would like to thankyou for bringing him home." Jessica could not refuse as she was ushered into the quaint little house. They were among the lucky ones. The house stood untouched by the bombardment. She showed her into a large kitchen and asked her to sit as she prepared Andrew some speggettio's. "Would you like some coffee or a cold drink? Something to eat maybe? Oh I am so sorry my name is Elizabeth Stone. Please call me Beth." She said as she bustled around the kitchen. "Coffee would be wonderful thankyou Beth. I don't think my stomach could handle anything else right now." Jess replied. She was relieved that she had found this child's family in tact. Beth set a steaming mug in front of Jess. Her eyes were still unsettled as she began to speak. " When you found Andrew was he alone? My husband was in the square with him." Jess didn't know how to answer this question. She took a sip of her coffee and replied. " I didn't see anyone with him Beth. There was such a commotion and I found myself a little crevice in a wall. When I was hiding there I saw Andrew and couldn't leave him alone there. he was so frightened. I pulled him into the small space with me and we stayed there until now. I am sorry." Beth got up from the table and checked on Andrew's meal. she scooped out a big bowl and set it on the table in front of him. He was so hungry that he gobbled up the bowl in 2 seconds flat and asked for more. Beth refilled his bowl and sat again by Jess. "If he was separated from Andrew he might still be looking for him. After things quieted down I went searching for them. There were so many dead or wounded but I didn't come across his body. For that I am relieved. I hope that he will be home soon." Jess didn't know how to reply to this and finished her coffee. " I really must be going Beth." Jess said as she rose from her chair. "I have to check on my own home and family." Beth understood and thanked her again for finding and bringing Andrew home safely. "I don't have the words to tell you." Tears of gratitude shone in Beth's eyes as she hugged Jessica good-bye. Jess walked back through the damaged streets to the square where it had all started. She then turned the corner to find her car still in tact and undamaged. She couldn't believe her luck so far. she got into her car and crept slowly threw town toward her home. Once outside the downtown area there was no evidence of bombing. It had been a controlled military attack. Hitting the city at it's most vulnerable and leaving the rest at peace. She released a huge sigh of relief when she pulled into her drive. She turned off the car and just sat and stared at her home for a moment. her mind was blank for the moment, a blessed thing. The turmoil of the day was unreal in the peacefulness of her drive. Getting out of the car and moving slowly to the door, she couldn't think. As she put her key into the lock happy barks protruded the stillness. A smile spread across her lips. She opened the door and her two babies smothered her with affection. Zeus and Apollo were Wrotwiller-Shepard cross, large, intimidating creatures. In their excitement they knocked her to the floor. "Easy boys." She laughed while she tried to close the door behind her. Now more then ever she was glad she had them for company and protection. It was pitch black inside her home, the sun had just set. Dark came early in the middle of October. She fumbled for the light as the dogs mauled her with bumps and licks. She flipped the switch and nothing happened. The reality of what she had witness came back to her quite suddenly. "Flashlight." she spoke aloud "I have to find the flashlight guys." She struggled to her feet. her boys would rather spend a few more minutes on the floor with them. "Come on guys, help me out her alittle." She chastised them half heartedly. The three of them bumped around the kitchen for a few minutes until she came across the right drawer. Pulling out the flashlight. "I hope the batteries still work." She whispered flicking the switch. Light pierced the room, she sighed inwardly. ©1999 MH. [This message has been edited by Marilyn (edited 10-21-1999).] |

This is just a rough draft and rereading this again, I find more problems with it. If I ever complete this story it will be edited to smooth out the rough areas. |
