~$1s fast as the notepads and cameras had arrived, they

disappeared. I woke up the next morning and it was as if

the whole thing hadn t happened. We were literally yester-

day s news. The State Department had made it very clear

that they preferred me to say nothing at all, and leave the

situation to be handled by the professionals. The phone

wasn t ringing, we weren t getting any information. Noth-

ing. Except that Terry was a hostage.

"I was sitting in my kitchen, drinking coffee, com-

pletely stunned. What s happened here? Doesn t anybody

understand that my brother has been kidnapped!"
