She was heartbroken and angry all at the same time. When she found him she intended on giving him a real piece of her mind! After that she would never let him out of her sight again. But how was she to find someone like him? She didn't know how to tread water in the underground of the world's theater of intrigue. She didn't even know if he was still in the country. Somehow she doubted it.
When it came to the man she loved and had married she knew practically nothing in terms of his history or where he might go. He was native born Russian, but Russia was a big place and she had Kevin to consider. The awful thought beckoned in her mind again to torment her, 'She may never find him'!
She had to have more faith than that or…? Or she would really fall apart! She determined what her first step would be. She glanced down at the card in her hand. It had the contact info for the man named Flint. Tyre had said to contact this man if she was ever in need and he wasn't available. Maybe this Flint would know where Tyre was or be able to help her find out where anyway.
She had debated calling the number several times over the past several days, but what she needed to do was better done in person. That meant she was going to Italy, which was scary for her. She'd never been in Canada or Mexico before let alone overseas, but if that was what it took than that was what she would do.
She wasn't ready to give up on the rest of her life just yet. Yes, she had the money she needed to raise Kevin, but living life was more than just having the necessities needed for existence. In order to truly live you had to be alive inside too. Since Tyre had left it had felt like a piece of her was gone and the only solution to loving life again was to get him back.
A month went by, which was how long it took for her to get passports for her and Kevin. They'd been held over in the air waiting for the runway to clear for over an hour now and Anna was beginning to panic.
What if they ran out of fuel? Just then the plane began a gradual descent and the intercom announced they would be landing shortly, which ushered in a whole new array of panic inducing possibilities.
She was really going to give Tyre a piece of her mind after suffering through all this! It got choppy and then the tires hit pavement. When the plane came to a complete stop Anna breathed freely again for the first time in what felt like several minutes. She mopped the sweat off of her forehead and glanced at Kevin. He'd been a real trooper and hadn't seemed to be fazed by anything, which was a miracle straight from God she firmly believed. He was looking at her in his usual way and if he could have had an expression she thought it would probably say something along the lines of 'What's wrong with you?'"
