After Duvalier

by Jet556

AU set in 1972. A year after the death of the tyrannical Francois Duvalier, Tina Kwee is sent to Haiti to write a story about the country now under the rule of Francois' even more tyrannical son Jean-Claude. What she finds there is a story stranger than the tales William Seabrook told of and the tales of the tyrannical Francois Duvalier.

Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Barrage's Decision

Having returned to Canada, Tina now sat opposite of Barrage as he read what she wrote. She was nervous, would he choose to print the story? Barrage was always kind of hard when it came to delivering criticism. But there was something different about him. He seemed tired, drained, on the verge of defeat. What was going on?

"Alright. It's good. We'll put it in the paper." Said Barrage, handing the story to Tina and standing up.

"Thank you, sir but I have to ask is something wrong?" asked Tina.

"We've lost a lot of money since you left for Haiti." Replied Barrage. "We may have to declare bankruptcy if we keep losing any money."

"What? How did we lose money?"

"Robbery, pure economic loss, etc. I can only hope that this story is successful, I'll be putting in on the front page so people will know what our main story is."

One could only hope.
