Semua Bab Rick's Dilemma: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Unbeknown to Rick and Debbie, Old Wilson had used his organizational skills to bring these people together. One, to show support for the Greens, and two, for them to volunteer for the testing phase. To that end, Old Wilson had also roped in the doctors and a few nurses to come and start the testing that very night! When the doctors heard about the call, and the number of people that planned to attend, they saw a golden opportunity to start the first phase when the volunteers were all together, but away from the hospital. It would have over whelmed the corridors of the testing lab to have so many people show up at once. So they came to Ting Gap. They set up a mini lab in the house, and started drawing blood samples from everyone there who wished to be considered to be a donor. Rick was the first to have his blood drawn. This lead everyone else to form a line. In the meantime, Debbie went down the line and thanked each one individually. She did not stop until she had spoken to very s

Debbie and Rick were driven to the hospital by Li Fan. They were accompanied by Alice and Lois. Everyone else had stayed behind to allow the couple time to settle in at the surgery center of People's Hospital Fing City. The best transplant team that could be found were to perform the surgery the next day. There were two teams who would be working on the pair. One to remove Rick's kidney, and the other to implant it into Debbie after removing her most damaged one. The operations were to take several hours to complete. On average, the donor's surgery lasts about three hours, whereas the recipient has to undergo at least a four hour or more proceedure. The surgerys were to begin at nine o'clock the next morning. Rick and Debbie had insisted that they were to be placed in the same room. The doctors at first rejected their request, but since they were husband and wife , they gave in to Rick's insistance. The pair had passed the night in Debbie's hospital bed, snuggled up togethe

Debbie was finally released from the hospital. She was still very weak, but no longer needed dialysis. This was the best news to all of her family and friends. She would have to take drugs for the rest of her life, but that was a small price to pay to even have a life. As she went into the playroom, her boys came waddling over towards her with their hand up in the air for her to pick them up. Sadly, she was unable to do this per her doctor's orders. All she could do was sit in a rocking chair and have them handed to her to hold, one by one. Aunt Alice was on hand to supervise the children and to make sure that they didn't cause any trouble for Debbie. Rick stood in the doorway and watched as the kids swarmmed their mother. He was smiling ear to ear to see such a sight. He had not been sure a month ago if he would ever see this sight again. After a while, Rick took Debbie by the hand and walked her out to the pool area to relax a bit. Li Fan brought out a pot of tea for them and

General Han's friends had come through for him. They sent over a thousand men to Port Durban to assist him in rescuing the crews of the hijacked ships. To get to the island nation of Madagascar, they took one of the abandoned ships that was moored off shore. Old Wilson had secured it's release after hiring a captain, a navigator and enough crew to safely operate it. It was only about three hundred miles to Toliara, so it would not take long to set up this mission. Once on their way, the men aboard got ready for a vicious fight. Fifty opponents were no match for them , but no one knew if there might be a hidden camp nearby. Therefore, the number of troops required was for a far ranging strategy on the general's part. Rick and Old Wilson were also on board the vessel, to give whatever support that they could. Old Wilson was not able to actually fight, but Rick was a high level martial artist practitioner. His skills would come in handy when and if the fighting got heavy. Even though

     Rick and his group left the camp and headed back to the ship. General Han left a few of his own men to stand guard until this mess was cleared up. The next thing to tackle was the tanker that had been unsuscessfully attacked. It had been detoured to Mombasa port in Kenya. After arriving back in Port Durban, it was decided not to make a report to the South African government just yet. The reasoning was, if a report was made, and then released to the public, it would alert the West family that they had been exposed. That report would have to be made later, after the West's had been dealt with.    The general and Old Wilson cautioned the crews that had been rescued to not talk about thier experiences just yet. They needed time to figure out a plan for dealing with Westhouse World Transport first. The men understood, and promised to keep things under wraps for now. The general decided that the best place to put them, was back on the ships th
