chapter 25

It took Schultz and Mandolini two days to place the females in their respective places by negotiating with the various embassies. All were extremely helpful, and parents and relatives picked up the teenagers and escorted them safely home. They were eternally thankful that at least a few relatives regained their daughters and sisters. Peter and Franz stayed away from this mission. The fewer people knew about their involvement, the better for them. When it was all over, Katrina was the only female left on the Seadog.

“Well, we closed another chapter. What do you suggest that we do now?” asked Peter. At first, no one had a unique solution. They looked at each other, but they mostly looked at Franz. He needs to recuperate, and right now, he had a one-track mind. He held his left shoulder and said, “It’s getting late, and I’m hungry. Let’s go to a nice Italian restaurant and have Spaghetti and meatballs with extra meat sauce.”
