Later, she couldn’t have said how long she and Kurt stood there watching the mansion and waiting for the phone to ring. Tom rejoined them after a while, once again accompanied by Billy Colton, and she quickly informed them of the latest turn of events. “Ritka is willing to meet with him once the hostages are released. Kartoff immediately rejected the idea, but I’m hoping he’ll come around once he thinks about it.”

“If he doesn’t,” Tom said, “we have to be prepared to take action. The major’s offered us his expertise. He recently headed up a Russian/American boot camp in St. Petersburg.”

Impressed, Kurt didn’t doubt that he would be an asset to their campaign. Six foot two, he was the picture of a lean, mean fighting machine. “We can use all the help we can get,” Kurt told him. “Especially since you’ve already been inside. Thanks.”

“My pleasure,” he said grimly. “I want to get this bastard.”

Julianna only had to look at him to know that he was the kind of man who enjoyed a good fight. She appreciated his input, but she was still holding out hope that diplomacy would win the day. The clock continued to tick as tension tightened everyone’s nerves. Still, the phone remained stubbornly silent.

“Maybe we should consider going in the way the major helped get Ritka’s daughter out—through the roof,” Tom suggested, turning to Billy Colton. “There’s bound to be some bloodshed, but right now, there doesn’t seem to be any other way to resolve this.”

“No, wait!” Julianna cried. Her gaze still trained on the mansion, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Someone had pulled the front door open, and suddenly a mad rush of wedding guests were spilling out onto the front lawn. “Look! It worked. Kartoff is releasing the hostages!”
