The call to her arms, Chapter 1
The older woman smiled at him and filled the glass, before shifting her eyes toward his mother.
“Did you say the name of the person she is supposed to meet is Leon?”
The woman took her eyes away from her son and looked at her.
“Yes… That’s what we were told… Why, do you know him?”
The dark-haired woman didn’t answer right away. No, she didn’t know the name. And that was the problem…
In the last few weeks, the various groups of the network had started working together, and even if pseudonyms often changed, the info circulated efficiently enough that the name should have at least sounded familiar to her. But it didn’t. And that’s what concerned her.
She looked at the boy again. She had found them earlier inside the courtyard of the club, hidden behind the gate that led to the terrace. She was just opening the stores when she had heard a small sound, followed by a quick shush and a barely audible whisper. She would never forget the look of horror on the woman’s face when she had discovered them.
She had known right away. The suitcases, the exhausted faces, the fear in their eyes… With a comforting voice, and carefully choosing her words, she had finally been able to reassure them, and had hushed them inside before any unexpected and ill-intentioned visitors could show up.
Their story started like so many others. A village somewhere in France… On their way back from visiting some friends one afternoon, she, her 4-year old son, and her sister in law had watched helplessly as her husband and her in-laws had been taken away by the Germans. She had wanted to run towards her husband, but her sister in law had caught her just in time and forced them to hide, holding mother and son tightly against her heart while they cried.
Then, it was always the same story. With the help of a few friends, they had been able to hide for a while, until they had heard of some evasion line that could take them to Great Britain. They had barely managed to gather the requested money and were told to get to Paris and contact that “Leon”. They had arrived in the Capital the day before and her sister in law had left them in the morning to go to the meeting. They had agreed to meet back here afterwards.

Thanks so much for posting this story. You picked a very interesting time and location for this. Lots of tension, drama and heartbreak are inevitable given the circumstances. I hope Bette and Tina can find strength and solace in each other to get them through it all.
Hey K !! I’m so late in catching up with this new story of yours I’m ashamed ! Anyway, I believe you already know by now what I think of it, and what I think of your writing, but just wanted to drop in and say “YOU’RE A FRACKING ROCKSTAR !!!!” I mean, in case you didn’t know… ;) thank you for this new gift of a story.
Very Interesting. Love it. I am hooked my friend.
This is the beginning of a great love story.
My dad was stationed in England and got lost in France on a mission, the resistance got him out, it was one of the very few stories he told.
Sweet mother of pearl Kw – 20 pages to “set the scene”!?! It’s like Christmas come early (LOL). This is BRILLIANT! I’ve always had a fascination with WWII and Civil War based stories. The opening evokes an array of emotions that are so palpable and hint at the intrigue to come that it sucked me in right away. I’m looking forward to seeing where you take us on this journey. All I can say is Godspeed to our gals. Patiently but eagerly looking forward to your next chapter :)
Totally engrossing. I held my breath while reading. This story has the makings of a true tibette classic.
Hi Kw! So happy to see your name again in the front page ;-) and boy! What a beginning!! I am thrilled to read more.. And no matter how you said that it’s long chapter to make us understand the situations… Well.. I still can’t get it?! So would you post another long chapter again to make me have a better understanding of the situations? … :-p lol… You cant blame me for asking you this after being hooked by story and it’s worth a try I guess ;-) he3.. :o)
A new story from you is always a really nice surprise and what a start.Thank you.PPS
