My Girlfriend's Childhood Friend Tried to Scare Rebels With Our Passports When We were Trapped AbroadChapter 1

A sudden rebellion broke out in Ukraine while we were there to talk about foreign trade cooperation abroad. Unfortunately, we got trapped in the war zone. Later, we heard that the rebels had set up a checkpoint at the port. They were asking for $5,000 to let one person go.

My girlfriend's childhood friend, Otto Blackmoore, laughed and asked, “Why should we waste money? Just show the US passport. They’ll let us through right away.”

My girlfriend, Yvette Mulligan, quickly agreed.

“Otto is right. That’s how it always works on TV.”

Since the team leader agreed, the others followed too. I was the only one who strongly disagreed. I said the rebels were desperate and only cared about money.

Due to my insistence, everyone sold their watches and jewelry to gather enough money to buy our freedom. In the end, we escaped safely.

On the ship going home, Otto was still angry about losing his old Rolex. He stormed onto the deck, shouting at the sea. A wave hit him and he fell overboard. His body was never found. Yvette, heartbroken, turned on me and pushed me into the sea.
