... attendant had pointed. There was
a door that led out to where an old, two engine prop plane stood, workman busily
attempting to get it ready to fly. Next to it, an uniformed guard or police
officer, Natalie now being able to ascertain which, stood next to a table with
various electronic instruments. They seemed similar to the wands used by US
airports. There was a partition next to the table blocking out whatever was on
the other side.
The guard was young, very muscular, about six feet and dark skinned.
When he saw Natalie move toward one of the seats, he motioned her over. They
had been waiting for her and preparing for her arrival for three days. There
were three guards in the terminal, Gomez, Jose and Ricardo. They knew an
American gringo would be passing through the terminal and they decided they
wanted to have a little fun with her. They had taken an old wand that used in
the new terminal. Gomez was an excellent electrician. He had changed the wand
so with a push of a button, the wands would beep. In addition, he had made it
so it would vibrate, a powerful vibration, when the wand beeped. Inside the
area of the partition, mirrors had been placed into the floor, with lights
shining up from underneath. In addition, photos could be taken of whatever or
whoever was above.
The locals knew that the planes never took off on time, they were always
at least two hours late, so they would have at least three hours before ...

else showed up for the flight, by that time they would already have Natalie
behind the partition.
Natalie saw the guard wave her over to the table. She looked around,
the terminal empty. Why does he want me now, it's too early for the plane. She
walked over toward the guard, his eyes staring at her as she walked. He was
extremely handsome, maybe her luck was turning.
"May I see your passport and your ticket," Ricardo's English very good.
"I'm glad you speak English, how come you are checking so early, there
is no one else here?"
"Sometime are equipment does not work correctly, so we try to allow for
delays. It is not very often we get tourists, so we take special care to make
sure that we do a very thorough search, especially Americans. We take our
country and our work very seriously." Ricardo gave Natalie a very stern and
official look. "We need your cooperation and we do not put up with any
disobedience. Our prisons are full of people that can not follow our rules."
Natalie began to feel some fear about the situation. This was not the
United States, this was a Socialist state, hostile to Americans and Ricardo
began to scare her. "Do not worry, I will cooperate," she said, her eyes
looking at the ground, hoping to avoid Ricardo's.
"That is good, now please hand me your ticket and passport. When we
finish with this, I will return them to you. Until that time, I will hold
them."
Natalie handed over her ...
