Chapter 2
Serge asked about the bills, saying the Embassy should cover it or he would. Sonja asked a more simple yet direct question Who was I? and How had I come to find her daughter?
I started to answer those questions the best way I could. How could I tell them everyone was now being investigated, photos, video and a search of 17,000 databases would soon confirm or deny this story.
It all became mute. Kat opened her eyes and was waking up.
She looked at her mother who ran to her. Zack restrained her. She cringed when Serge spoke to her, and I knew this was not a happy, loving, family scene.
"I appreciate you both coming down. But I am afraid your story needs to be verified and there are some formalities that will need to be worked on by your Embassy and the US State Department. One being that her mother was Czech not Chechen. I'm sure that and the other things will be discussed. We will be in contact with your Embassy, as soon as possible. In the meantime Katya will remain here and try to get well. You will not be able to visit here I'm afraid since this is not a public portion of the Hospital."
"You will hear from my Embassy, you cannot just 'kidnap' Kat, we have rights here!"
Right I thought, how little he knew and how hard it would be for 'anything' to be done. Zack gave me a smile and showed them to the room door where Paul escorted them out to the lobby. Serge was sputtering all the way out ... I turned to Katya.
