Great sample.  But I'm confident that she'll be rescued before her heart stops beating, probably by the modern equivalent of Prince Charming (Batman?).  Seriously, the quotation suggests a fascinating, exciting novel.

“The men were smashing windows and aiming their weapons through them.  The driver had opened the door and was shouting for the women and children to get out and run and hide.  But Ilina realized in some vague way that he never managed to actually say the word "hide."  He really said, "Women and children, get out, get out, get out!  Run and..."  The clerk's wife thought it was odd that he had stopped in the middle of a sentence, and even stranger that she herself knew the word, heard the word "hide" in her head when the driver stopped talking.”  ―    Clark Zlotchew, http://www.clarkzlotchew.com     The Caucasian Menace  http:www.amazon.com/dp/1448960150

I'm very inept at technology. I see that the Amazon URL above leads only to my own website, rather than to Amazon's page for The Caucasian Menace.  Let's see what happens when I list the Amazon page alone.

The chica returns and advises Carlos. “Sorry but there were 

only two mujers in el cuarto de mujers.” 

Carlos’s corazon starts to pound harder, making it hard to

breathe. He thanks la chica. “Gracias.” turns to go to advise Jose

Enrique y Greg. 

“No estan en el cuarto de mujers,” said Carlos, taking deep

breaths. “We need to get security to assist us in searching for

them in the club.” 

“Si,” said Greg, starting to turn to locate where the security

is. 

A waiter approaches Jose Enrique with a cerveza and note.

“Señor De La Cruz?” asks the waiter, waiting for a response from

Jose Enrique. 

Jose Enrique looks at the waiter and cerveza, wondering what

is up with this. “Si, soy De La Cruz,” he responds, waiting for the

waiter to enlighten him. 

“Si, this cerveza is sent over by el caballero at the bar with

this note,” said the waiter, turning to indicate which hombre sent

the cerveza y note. 

The waiter cannot see the caballero, turns to Jose Enrique

with a small unsure smile. “El caballero is not there anymore,”

he said, handing over the tray to Jose Enrique. 

Jose Enrique is looking at the bar and cannot see any caballero

and is getting really anxious. He looks at Greg and Carlos that

indicate to take the note. 

“Jose Enrique, read the damn note,” said Carlos with

frustration and anxiety. 

Greg is very scared, anxious, and knows that something

awful has happen to his baby. He quickly starts to ask the waiter

questions on what the guey looks like. 

“Tell us how this guey looks like,” demands Greg with

controlled fury. 

The waiter is getting scared by how furious and frustrated

they look. “He is tall, dark, and looks mean,” said the waiter,

starting to back away from them. 

“Did you ever see him in the club before?” asks Greg, watching

the waiter real close. “How long have you worked here?” 

“Si, I have worked here for over dos años, and no I have never

seen that hombre before,” said the waiter, starting to get pale.

Este hombre looks ready to kill me and I don’t know what’s

going on, thought the waiter. “Señor el hombre asked me to bring

el Señor De La Cruz esta cerveza y nota.” 

Greg can see that the waiter is starting to get scared. He most

likely didn’t know or ever seen the guey, thought Greg. “I need

you to give mi your full name and number,” he requests in an

authoritative voz. Greg wants to have the intel in case they need

to talk to him again. 

“Si,” said the waiter, scared and anxious to get away from

Greg. Estos hombres estan muy enojado’s y no si por qué, thought

the waiter, starting to sweat. 

“Jose Enrique, tell us what the damn nota dice!” demands

Carlos with frustration, looking at Jose Enrique grow pale and

scared. 

Jose Enrique looks up with fear and anger in his ojos. “They

took our mujers!” he shouts out in horror, frustration, and rage,

looking around to see if he can see the guey that sent him the

note.
