Everybody Has a Breaking Point
Chapter 6
Never before Alan Tracy been in such a difficult position before, his family, his love, all in danger before is very eyes. He's never dealt with this type of nervous tension which lay before him. But as the tear fell down Tin-Tin's innocent face, Alan could barely hold it together. He was losing his restraint.
His heart was wrenched out of his reach as his love of his life was at the greatest danger. He was lost. He wanted to go running towards her but he knew if he went any closer so will the knife which was against her throat. He had to concentrate. She needed him like she never needed before. But his emotions where getting in his way of the sane. He never blinked once. Then he swallowed the building tension of fear and looked away from Tin-Tin towards the stranger in the black ski mask.
Alan looked deeply and intensely at his cold brown eyes. As the man stared back with the gratification of what he was doing. Alan never flinched away from the stare, while the man grabbed Tin-Tin's hair causing her to arch her neck. Tin-Tin let out a small muffle as she was protesting against the man causing Alan to distract his attention to her once again. He stared at her angelic face as the tears and remaining mascara was running down her face. He saw the moon light reflected of the steel on the knife.
Alan didn't know what to do or what to think. He had to think to himself.
`My love………, my life…, how could he? I wasn't somebody until she came along. She made me from a boy into a man. She's the reason why I'm a man. She can't go.
I remember when she first came to the island some years ago, before we were known as international rescue. Just when I started my career at racing, when my eyes laid on her in her red dress I couldn't take them off of her. Every inch of her body was perfect. The world was absolute. She only existed in it. The light came back on when father put his hand on my shoulder and told me he would like me to meet someone. I was never happier that day when I met Tin-Tin Kyrano. She's always been there for me.
What was that Tin-Tin used to tell me when the mission didn't go right like the way we planned and I was down about it?
Oh yeah that's right she used to tell me," when ever you are down you must always see the good of things, and then things won't seem as bad."
Tin-Tin always knew the right thing to say at the right time. `
His strength was back. Tin-Tin need him. Jeff needs him. His family needs him. Most of all International Rescue need him. He couldn't fail now when so much counted on him.
"Who do you think you are?", as Alan stepped firmly forward against the challenge.
"I'm here to stop you and your family at once. You and your family are a nuisance. I'm planning on starting off with her as you can watch the rest of your family to go as you would be the last to depart.", as he said in a husky voice.
Alan glared back into his eyes knowing that what happens next is his choice.
No International Rescue and good bye family.
He had to stand for what was right! His family would want it that way.
Alan grasped both of his fists has he demanded, "Well get your hands off my love of my life!"
