Prologue... The Kyle Family History

The light sea breeze blowing from the north did very little to cool down the scorching, humid heat. Considering it was July in this part of the world that was normal. What was unusual was the mixture of emotions in our city from the heady buzz of hope to a sombre dread from its citizens. Debates were rife on the street with what was the right course for our great nation after such a victorious revolution.

Pacing up and down on their veranda Carmen waited impatiently for her husband's return home from work. She had prepared their lovely meal and he was late, VERY LATE! She thought looking at the clock. Their dinners together were always at 6:30 pm ever since they got married, by 7:30 pm they would go to her parents restaurant where she would perform her dance and it was now past 9 pm something was off... VERY OFF!

"We have to get out of here tonight, " he told her in Cuban Spanish rushing past her into their villa, as he came in with a duffel bag, he retrieved their papers and passport from their underwear drawer, placed it in the bag and continued " there is a boat waiting for us right outside Havana we have to leave now".

She couldn't move she stared at him, blinking not completely absorbing what he was saying and why he was saying it. She noticed there were lots of money in the bag, she panicked, desperate to find her voice it barely came out in sporadic whispers instead of her strong loud voice.

"Why? What's happened Stephen? What's going on?" she asked as chills ran up and down her spine feeling the dread in her pit of her stomach worsening.

"Mi amour, there is no time to explain right this instant, we have to leave and go to the United States."

"The United States?" she exclaimed her world spinning around her "What the hell for?"

"Mi Vida, I'll explain on the way, " he replied, grabbing her hand firmly and rushing her out the door.

"Aren't we taking our clothes? Are we just going to leave our home here like this? I have dinner in the kitchen ready to eat.. What about our parents? Do they know where we are going?" she asked, trying her best to slow him down, things were going too fast suddenly and she had many questions, so many questions... Everything seemed so rash.

"Carmen, mi amour do you trust me?" he suddenly stopped, sensing her hesitation, his blue eyes looking intensely into her green orbs. She searched its intensity with her own and she relaxed a little.

"Si, Mi Vida, I do.." she replied

"Good now let's go, " he said not sparing a moment longer to get out of the port for their voyage to the U.S a place he hasn't gone back to since he was 5 years old.

They travelled in the dark in his car to the port, he made sure to not turn on his headlights luckily his car was a dark grey and did not attract any attention, not that anyone at that point was taking extra precautions due to their victorious arrogance after winning the revolution. They could bask in the sunshine of their glory he thought, but he knew well from history what was to come next after what he saw this morning and there was no way in hell he will stay here any longer with that bastard in power and he was going to do whatever it took to protect the person he loved most in this world, his wife Carmen.
