Chopped Encounter

By Tirza Schaefer

German nurse Kayla is visiting a friend in the USA when a group of Marines in training literally fall out of the sky at her feet. Captain Wayne Turner draws her into a whirlwind of emotions, more confusing than the wind created by the helicopter he dropped out of. After a stormy night of passion, she comes face to face with his ex-wife and runs off. But then Wayne's best friend Dale finds her and asks her to help him to prove Wayne's innocence after his arrest.

Kayla helps, but it takes an old man and a hard look at herself for her to consider giving Wayne a second chance. Can he regain her trust?

Her life is an ongoing work of art, of character building, of an expanding personality, yet ultimately always moving forward, always striving for new, for more, for added quality of life, of herself. Tirza is a woman who is as steadfast and loyal as she is adventurous and surprising. It is exciting and worthwhile to observe her further to see what she will come up with next. You never know…

Dedication

Idedicate this book to all those who have loved and lost and never lost appreciation of life and the beauty of other people’s souls in it.

To those who have sacrificed a lot of themselves for the sake of a greater good they believed in and to those who have not and do not turn their backs on them when it is not always easy a burden to bear.

To those who do not give up easily and are swayed quickly by outer influences, but instead hold fast to those ideals they have deemed to hold dear.

Your strength, your courage and your unwavering fortitude inspire and encourage others to be strong and continue even in the face of adversity, when they might have given up otherwise, but your example carried them through the rough patches.

You have my admiration and affection.

Prologue

It’s Raining Marines

It was a lovely sunny day and Kayla sat on a lawn in the middle of a small US town in Louisiana, near New Orleans, where she was visiting a close friend she’d first acquainted on a spiritual internet community. She had saved up for some time to fly over from Germany to make this visit possible.

Now thirteen people sat in a drumming circle, beating their various drums. The fact that they were thirteen didn’t have any ritual meaning. It just so happened that this number of friends, including Kayla, had found together on this occasion.

Owing to the fact that two of the participants sat in wheelchairs and were unable to make it to Kayla’s friend’s house, they’d all decided to move the event to the town centre’s green instead of holding it in Pearl’s large, beautiful garden.

They were drumming and chanting when suddenly their beats and voices were drowned out by the deafening noise of a helicopter’s fast spinning rotor blades. Everyone looked up.

Kayla, didn’t you say this morning when we skyped with Asia in London that you wanted to meet a US Marine and she told you about her friend in London sitting on the balcony and some UK Navy people fast-roped down into the green in front of their eyes and that it wouldn’t surprise her, if the same happened to you here with a US Marine landing in the garden for you? Pearl asked with a grin on her face.

Yes... Kayla gasped.

A Black Hawk hovered overhead, a US military helicopter from which ropes were thrown down next and men in full combat uniforms started to descend from them.

Pick one! Alex called and took his hands off the armrests of his wheelchair to offer the Marines in a sweeping gesture to Kayla. This was accompanied with a big, naughty grin on his face.

Oh my God, Kayla whispered when the first few men touched ground and took up positions around the green, guns pointing in all directions. When all were on solid ground, one of the men walked over to them while the helicopter took off.

Don’t worry, please. The guns aren’t loaded. This is merely training, ladies and gentlemen.

Between the helmet and trying to look against the sun, Kayla couldn’t make out the man’s features. She got up.

Excuse me...

Captain Wayne Turner, ma’am.

Good day, Captain. Kayla Bennett. I just arrived last night from Germany. Would you terribly mind taking a picture with me?

He looked at her in confusion. Well, er...

Please? She gave him a big, puppy-eyed look.

Well, alright then. Seeing as Germany is a highly valued ally and friend, he smiled.

Thank you so much, Captain. I really appreciate it. Would you take off your helmet, please? She turned to her friend and asked Pearl if she would be willing to take the picture with her mobile. Pearl let Kayla show her how to do it as her own phone was a different model, and Kayla made her stand on the other side to have the sun in her back when taking the picture.

Captain Turner took off his helmet when he posed for the picture with Kayla. Take a few, so we’re sure to have a good one amongst them, Kayla instructed.

Do you think I could get copies? he asked when Pearl was done. I’ve never been a tourist attraction before.

Kayla looked up into his face for the first time without the sun blinding her from seeing clearly and stifled a gasp. The captain was the most handsome man she had ever seen and his bulging muscles threatened to rip the short sleeves of his t-shirt apart.

If you give me your email or mobile number, I’ll be happy to send them to you, she smiled, trying to keep a polite expression on her face while she was drooling on the inside.

Why don’t you give me yours and I’ll take you out for dinner as well? he suggested. Alex was already holding up pen and paper. Kayla hadn’t noticed that he had managed to wheel himself over to them as soon as the pictures had been taken.

Kayla wrote down her mobile number and asked Pearl whether she minded if she added her landline number also as she didn’t always have reception when she was behind the house in the garden. Pearl added her home office number with
